Is it necessary to make up for the fast that was broken due to menstruation twice: once for the emission of pre-seminal fluid (madhiy) due to looking at indecent films, and another time for the emission of pre-seminal fluid (madhiy) due to masturbation, or is the fast acceptable? Is repeating the making up of fasts due to the emission of pre-seminal fluid considered a form of waswasah (whisperings/obsessive thoughts)? What is the cure for waswasah that affects prayer and memorizing the Qur’an? Is the حافظ القرآن (one who has memorized the Qur'an) tested with desires more than others?

The treatment for obsessive whispers () is to ignore them. As for the emission of pre-seminal fluid (madhiy), it does not invalidate the fast. Masturbation does not invalidate the fast unless semen is emitted. Repentance is obligatory for masturbation and for looking at what Allah has forbidden. The questioner should adhere to the rulings of , increase in fasting, remembrance of Allah (), and recitation of the Quran, and occupy her time with what brings her closer to Allah, and strive in supplication.
