Is it obligatory to make up the days in which semen was discharged due to masturbation, out of ignorance that it invalidates the fast, especially since the number of these days is unknown?
Whoever ejaculates due to masturbation during the day in has invalidated their fast and must make it up. However, if they were ignorant of its prohibition, they are not required to make it up. But if they knew of its prohibition yet were ignorant of the consequences thereof, they are required to make it up.
If you knew that practicing this habit was forbidden, but were ignorant of the consequences, then you must make up the fast for every day that semen was ejaculated through masturbation. If you do not know the exact number of days, then you should estimate and make up the fasts until you are certain or have a strong presumption that your obligation has been fulfilled.
