Masturbating whilst Fasting

Q: If a person whilst fasting masturbates will the fast break? If so will Qadha as well as Kaffarah become Waajib or only Qadha?

A: If one masturbates whilst fasting the fast will be nullified. Only Qadha will be Waajib. (Ahsanul Fataawa vol.4 pg.455, Fataawa Raheemiyyah vol.7 pg.262, Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah vol.15 pg.184)

NB: It is impermissible for a person to take enjoyment through masturbation or any haraam activity.

(وكذا الاستمناء بالكف) أي في كونه لايفسد لكن هذا إذا لم ينزل أما إذا أنزل فعليه القضاء كما يصرح به وهو المختار (رد المحتار على در المختار ج2 ص399)

الصائم إذا عالج ذكره حتى أمنى فعليه القضاء وهو المختار وبه قال عامة المشايخ (الفتاوى الهندية ج1 ص205)
