(In the Name of Allah (SWT), Most Gracious, Most Merciful, all praise and thanks are due to Allah, Lord of the Realms and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger (SAWS) and upon all his family and companions)

Ramadan is the very special month of its time as there is no other month like it and as there can be no enough blessings like it and there is no other month in which such rewards are offered. It is the month we all as believers should seek blessings, forgiveness and mercy by making such efforts that are awarded likewise and this is where you are expected to refrain from bad deeds and learn to practice new deeds. Masturbation breaks the fast.

You would be considered wise enough to make your Ramadan special by reciting Quran in abundance, pray regularly and pray the special Taraweeh prayers, doing Dikhr (remembering and mentioning Allah (SWT), recite Istighfar (Seeking forgiveness for one’s sins) and follow the practice of charity especially this month and this is where you are to know that this month is indeed special for Muslims and thus appropriate understanding is required.

In an authentic Hadith the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said:”Truly is lost whoever hears my name and does not invoke blessings on me; truly is lost whoever catches Ramadan and he misses the chance to get his sins forgiven; truly is lost whoever catches his parents in their lives until they become old, and yet he misses to attain Paradise (through honoring and taking care of them.”(At-Tirmidhi, Sunan, Vol. 5, Hadith no. 3613; this Hadith has been classified ashasan saheeh (good and authentic) by Sheikh Al-Albani in his bookSaheeh At-Tirmidhi, Hadith no. 2810).

RAMADAN–ARE WE ALLOWED TO HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE DURING THE SACRED MONTH. This is where you are to know that a believer is expected to observe fasting in the month of Ramadan and this is done by refraining oneself from food, drink and sexual desire. For which reason masturbation is considered to be a type of sexual desire thus concluding your fast to be broken.
