The answer

The questioner is advised to fear Allah, seek His help, and abstain from the bad habit. If what occurred was merely for pleasure, then it falls under the category of forbidden masturbation. However, if it was for another reason, such as itching, then touching the private parts is originally permissible. One is not considered a masturbator if semen is discharged in this case, and therefore, she is not required to pay the amount. Scholars have mentioned that masturbation invalidates the fast, but if a man scratches his private parts due to an itch and semen is discharged, his fast is not invalidated.
