Fasting – Masturbation

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

if a person breaks the fast with masturbation… does that require 60 days of fasting as expiation or just one? What else must be done besides tawbah?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,

I pray this finds you in the best of health and spirits.

Masturbation is sinful, and if ejaculation occurs one’s fast is invalidated–and it must be made up (though no kaffara is necessary).
