Masturbating while fasting during Ramadhaan
Question
What is the ruling of a person that masturbated while fasting during Ramadhaan. Is it required to keep kadha of that fast?
Answer
Breaking the fast through masturbation is a serious offence and one should sincerely repent to Allah Ta'ala and make a firm resolve that one will not return to this sin in the future. However only Qadha will be Waajib.
