What is the ruling on experiencing arousal and the discharge of moisture during fasting, knowing that this occurs unintentionally and subsides after breaking the fast?
The emission of discharge and secretions does not affect the validity of the fast, even if accompanied by lust, as long as the questioner does not intentionally cause the reasons for lust and does not indulge in them. However, if she causes it by repeatedly looking, or through physical contact or kissing, and semen is emitted, then she must make up the fast and repent. As for purity (taharah), please refer to Fatwa No. 84315.
