After iftaar (breaking of the fast), f you masturbate does it ruin your month of Ramadhan?



Question number: 1267
Date posted: 2008-09-24

Answer:

It does not ruin your fast; however, you are guilty of committing a sinful act; so if you did resort to it, never fail to ask forgiveness of Allah. Among others, you may choose to freely use the following supplication:


Allaahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbu al-‘afwa fa’fu annee


(O Allah, You are Forgiving; You love to forgive, and so forgive (my sins) for me). Here is another one:


Allaahumma ighfir lee dhanbee kullahu: diqqahu wa jillahu, amdahu wa khata’ahu, awwalahu wa aakhirahu, wa sirrahu wa alaaniyyatahu


(O Allah, forgive me all of my sins: major ones as well the minor; the one I have done deliberately as well as those I have done in ignorance; the first one as well as the last; the open one as well as the secret). You may read both du’as any time; it is especially good to read them during sujud (prostration) in Prayer.
