The emission of semen with pleasure by the act of the fasting person.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Seventh: The emission of semen with pleasure by the act of the fasting person. The emission of semen with pleasure, listen, by the act of the fasting person has three conditions.
First, the emission of semen. This is to distinguish it from what? From the emission of pre-seminal fluid. Pre-seminal fluid does not invalidate the fast, even if it is with desire, even if a man kisses his wife and emits pre-seminal fluid, his fast is valid. This is pre-seminal fluid. We said the emission of semen.
The second condition: with pleasure. If it is emitted without pleasure, for example, if it is emitted due to illness, or extreme cold, or extreme straining during defecation, or something similar, it does not invalidate the fast, because what? It is not with pleasure, people. Okay.
By the act of the fasting person. If semen is emitted with pleasure without the act of the fasting person, but through thinking or through wet dreams while sleeping, then what? It does not invalidate the fast. As for it not invalidating the fast through thinking, that is due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Allah, the Most High, has forgiven my followers what they contemplate on within themselves (i.e. evil thoughts) as long as they do not act upon or speak about them. إن الله تجاوز عن أمتي ما حدثت به أنفسها ما لم تعمل أو تتكلم
Bulugh al-Maram 8:133
Some people are quick to ejaculate and have strong desire; as soon as they think, they ejaculate. This does not invalidate his fast.
As for it not invalidating his fast through wet dreams, that is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The pen is lifted from رفع القلم عن
Who is it?
the insane person until he regains his sanity, the child until he reaches puberty, and the sleeping person until he wakes up عن المجنون حتى يفيق والصغير حتى يبلغ والنائم حتى يستيقظ
Praise be to Allah.
