Is it permissible to adopt a different madhhab (school of thought) other than the Maliki madhhab regarding the ruling on performing the kaffarah (expiation) for masturbating during the daytime in Ramadan, due to inability to fulfill it?

Masturbation is forbidden and has many harms. Doing it during the daytime in is an even greater sin. Whoever commits this act must repent immediately; their fast is invalidated, and they must make up that day. The majority of scholars hold that there is no expiation for it. An ordinary Muslim is permitted to follow any of the recognized schools of thought.
