Question

Is a Roza ( fast) is nullified (break) if a boy deliberately discharges his sperms with his hands with shahwat during fasting. If Roza is nullified then what is the Kaffara ? is it 60 day consecutive fasting ???

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

When a person masturbates whilst fasting, the roza (fast) will be nullified and qaza will have to be made but there will be no kaffara (Raddul Muhtar, vol 2, pg 398 HM SAEED)
