The answer

A Muslim's excuse of ignorance varies depending on how the information reached them and the clarity of the issue. Whoever resides in Muslim lands where scholars are available is obligated to learn their essential religious duties, such as the rulings on fasting and what invalidates it. They are not excused for their ignorance if they have been negligent. Masturbation invalidates the fast according to the general consensus of scholars. Therefore, the questioner is not excused for his ignorance of this ruling, and he is bound by what is stated in Fatwas 32452 and 35061.
