Breaking one’s fast through masturbation

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: As a teenager I had a bad habit of masturbation, which I sincerely and deeply regret. The urge was very strong and I resorted to this sin even in the month of Ramadaan while in the state of Roza. I would keep the fast as usual, i.e have sehri, and abstain from food and drink until the time of iftaar, but on one occasion would commit this heinous sin. May Allah Ta’aala forgive me. Ameen. I need to know that what should I do?

A: Keep one qadha and make a lot of istighfaar.

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

(وكذا الاستمناء بالكف) أي في كونه لايفسد لكن هذا إذا لم ينزل أما إذا أنزل فعليه القضاء كما سيصرح به وهو المختار (رد المحتار على الدر المختار 2/ 399)                             

الصائم إذا عالج ذكره حتى أمنى فعليه القضاء وهو المختار وبه قال عامة المشايخ (الفتاوى الهندية 1/ 205)
