Is there an expiation for one who masturbates while fasting?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is there an expiation for one who masturbates while fasting?

Answer:
One who masturbates while fasting does not owe an expiation, but his fast is invalid and he has committed a sin. He must repent to Allah, and he must make up the day on which he masturbated. The expiation is only obligatory in the case of intercourse specifically.
