What is the point of reconciliation between fatwas No. 93043 and 18199 regarding the ruling on masturbation during the day in Ramadan, and what is the final ruling on this issue, especially according to the Hanafis?
The two fatwas do not contradict each other. no. 93043 did not mention a consensus on the prohibition of masturbation. Rather, it discussed its effect on fasting and cited Ibn Qudamah's statement that whoever masturbates and ejaculates invalidates his fast without disagreement. Masturbation is considered a fast-breaker and necessitates making up the fast according to the Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali schools, and it is the relied-upon view among the Hanafis, despite a slight, unconsidered difference of opinion, based on Al-Nawawi's statement: "If one masturbates with his hand, which is the extraction of semen, he breaks his fast without disagreement among us." This is what Ibn Abidin and Ibn Nujaym referred to in their books.
