What is the ruling on the fast of one who read in a book about sexual intercourse and involuntarily experienced ejaculation during the daytime in Ramadan?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no need for a make-up fast for one who emits semen upon reading something that incites desire, as long as he did not actively cause its emission. However, if he intentionally read something to incite his desire, then it is more cautious for him to make up the fast of that day.
