A person willingly exposed himself to sexual excitement during the day of Ramadan and masturbated

357

Q 2: What is the ruling on the person who willingly exposed himself to sexual excitement during the day of Ramadan, so he could not control himself and performed the act of masturbation? Does he have to offer any Kaffarah (expiation) for that?

A: It is impermissible for a fasting person to intentionally break their obligatory Sawm (Fast). If (Part No. 9; Page No. 169) a person ejaculates semen without having sexual intercourse, the Sawm is rendered invalid and he has to offer sincere Tawbah (repentance to Allah) for such a practice and make up for the day(s) when his Sawm was rendered invalid, but he is not required to offer any Kaffarah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
