Fatwa #640715 August 2002Canada

If a male masturbates while fasting (farz or nafl)(saum), will this break his fast?

Question

If it breaks his fast, should he continue to fast, and then make up the fast after ramadhan. or should he break the fast and make up after ramadhan? please reply with appropriate farz and nafl rulings. JazakAllah Kirun

Answer

Masturbation with ejaculation breaks the fast whether it is a Fardh or Nafl
fast. He has to make Qadhaa of that day. Even though this actions breaks one
's fast, a person should still remain in the condition of fast for the
remainder of the day.
