Does anything result from me after I swore not to masturbate, then broke my oath and atoned by fasting, and during that time Ramadan and Eid occurred, and I delayed fasting the days of atonement, which I have now completed?

Whoever swore an oath to abandon masturbation and then did it, must offer an expiation for breaking an oath (kaffarat ). This consists of: feeding ten poor persons, or clothing them, or emancipating a believing slave. These options are discretionary. If one is unable to do these three, then one moves to fasting for three days. Consecutive fasting is not a condition according to many scholars, while some consider the immediate offering of expiation obligatory. This is coupled with a warning against masturbation, as it is forbidden.
