What is the ruling on one who masturbated during the daytime in Ramadan, being ignorant that this invalidates the fast, and what is the ruling on one who intentionally had a wet dream during the daytime in Ramadan?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If one masturbates during the day in but does not ejaculate, their fast is valid, but repentance is required of them. If they do ejaculate, their fast is invalidated, and they must make up for that day if they were aware of theimation. As for someone who sleeps and wakes up having experienced a wet dream, their fast is valid because the ejaculation occurred without their action, and the sleeping person is not held accountable.
