Dear Muftis, Ulamaas, etc

What if u touch your private parts(male) with sexual intent say for masturbating but u do not complete the act hence no mazi comes out. Maybe mani did. Does your fast break?

Assalamu'alaikum warahmathullahi wabarakathu


Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)


Masturbation leading to ejaculation breaks the fast. (Without ejaculation, it does not.) However, it does not require expiation (kaffara). [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah ; Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar ]

Masturbation is prohibited and sinful, especially in Ramadan. One must repent sincerely to Allah Ta'ala and commit not to return to this error.

Allah Ta'ala says : "Say: 'O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins! Despair not of the mercy of Allaah; verily, Allaah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful'. [39:53].


And Only Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.
Mufti
