What is the ruling on intentionally ejaculating during fasting in adolescence without touching the private parts, given the inability to make up for it or feed the poor, and what is the ruling on that after breaking the fast, and is prayer permissible after performing ghusl?
If semen is discharged merely by thinking, it does not invalidate the fast, because it is not an action performed by the fasting person.

But if he was aware of the ruling, then he must make up the days on which he invalidated his fast, and he must estimate the number of days and make up what clears his conscience.
