What is the ruling on masturbating in Ramadan to the extent of being unable to fast, and what is the ruling on suicide due to an inability to stop it, knowing the Hadith: "And whoever among you is unable to do so, then let him fast, for it will be a shield for him (from sexual desire)"?
Beware of contemplating suicide, for it is one of the greatest prohibitions. Strive against your lower self and turn to Allah; for Allah will assist you, as He says: "And those who strive for Us – We will surely guide them to Our ways." Maintain prayer with humility, associate with good people, fill your time with beneficial activities, and occupy yourself with reciting the Quran and remembering Allah. You may consult a doctor regarding excessive lust. You must make up all the days you masturbated during the daytime in Ramadan. Adhere to supplicating Allah to guide you and accept your repentance.
