Masturbation is forbidden at all times, and its prohibition intensifies during , especially during the daytime, due to its consequence of invalidating the fast. If semen is ejaculated due to masturbation, the fast is invalidated, and one must make up that day. Expiation () is not required for invalidating the fast by masturbation; it is only required for sexual intercourse. Sincere repentance to Allah Almighty for this act is obligatory.
