Masturbating during Ramadan fast: Qaza or Kaffara?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: A person while fasting in Ramadhaan masturbates by rubbing himself on the bed. What is the status of the roza? Is he supposed to do qaza or kaffara?

Bismillaah

A: He should repent to Allah Ta’ala for this sin he had committed and make a firm resolve that he will not repeat this sin in the future. His roza will break, however only qaza will be waajib. 

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