Is there Kaffara for a fast broken through masturbating?
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)
And Allah knows best
