You must repent sincerely, increase your supplications for forgiveness (istighfar), and perform righteous deeds, as masturbation is forbidden both inside and outside of . It invalidates the fast and necessitates making up the day if it results in the emission of semen. Therefore, you must make up the days on which you masturbated and semen was emitted. If you do not know the exact number of days, then fast the number of days that you believe, with reasonable certainty, will absolve your liability.
