What is the purification process if a white fluid is discharged or not discharged after masturbation? And does watching a pornographic film during the day in Ramadan and the discharge of white fluid invalidate the fast? And is masturbation permissible for someone who cannot overcome their desires and wishes to commit zina (fornication/adultery) but cannot marry?

Masturbation is forbidden, and what is discharged after masturbation is semen, which necessitates ghusl (ritual bath). Some scholars have permitted it for those who fear falling into adultery (zina), provided it is out of necessity and not merely due to the presence of desire after watching pornographic films.
