Masturbating while fasting

If a man is masturbating during a Qadha fast but then tries to stop but ejaculation occurs anyway. Is the fast counted? If not is the ruling the same
i.e. must he keep one fast for the missed fast?

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
