Answer
Masturbation invalidates the fast. Therefore, you must make Qadhaa (make up) for the two missed fasts as well as make Istighfaar (seek the repentance of Allah).

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
