The Ruling on Masturbation in Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable noble one, or rather, I was a believer, just as in this Ramadan, and it was not for Allah the Exalted, to review five years.

Answer:
The ruling is that he must make up the fast, because ejaculation invalidates the fast. Ejaculation with pleasure invalidates the fast. He must make up the fast, and in addition to making it up, he must feed a poor person for the delay. If he did not, then the act of self-satisfaction invalidates the fast. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the fasting person, in the Qudsi Hadith, that Allah the Exalted and Glorified says regarding the fasting person: he leaves
his desires and his food and drink for My sakeشهوته وطعامه وشرابه من أجلي
Muwatta Malik 18:64
. Just as he leaves food and drink, he leaves desire, and masturbation is a desire. So if he does it intentionally, his fast is invalid, just as if he ate or drank intentionally, his fast is invalid. And what is attributed to some students of knowledge, that the Sunnah does not invalidate the fast, this is a rejected statement, a statement that is questionable, it is not permissible to act upon it, because it is the opinion of the person.
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as in the Qudsi Hadith, says: he leaves
his desires and his food and drink for My sakeشهوته وطعامه وشرابه من أجلي،
Muwatta Malik 18:64
. So this person did not leave his desire.
