    In Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh), the majority of scholars agree that any form of sexual activity, including masturbation, invalidates the fast, regardless of whether ejaculation occurs or not. The act of masturbation is seen as a physical and psychological stimulation that may lead to ejaculation or disrupt one’s state of fasting, and it goes against the principles of self-control and purity that fasting is meant to uphold. It’s essential to maintain the sanctity of the fast during the daylight hours of Ramadan or any other fasting day, refraining from all forms of sexual activity and other actions that break the fast. If someone intentionally engages in sexual activity or masturbation during fasting hours, their fast is considered invalid, and they are required to make up for that day by fasting another day after Ramadan. It’s important to seek guidance from a knowledgeable Islamic scholar or religious authority if you have specific questions or concerns about fasting and its rules, as interpretations may vary among scholars and schools of thought.

    Cursing or using foul language does not break your fast in the sense that it doesn’t invalidate the physical act of fasting (abstaining from food, drink, and certain other actions during daylight hours in Ramadan or voluntary fasts). However, it is important for Muslims to maintain good behavior and control their speech while fasting. Engaging in negative behavior, including cursing, during fasting hours is discouraged as it goes against the spiritual and moral principles of fasting. Fasting is not just about refraining from physical indulgences but also about improving self-discipline, controlling one’s desires, and becoming more mindful of one’s actions and words. Therefore, it’s advisable to avoid cursing or any form of inappropriate speech while fasting to maintain the intended spiritual benefits of fasting.

    Yes, smoking cigarettes or any form of tobacco does not invalidate the physical act of fasting, but it is strongly discouraged during fasting in Islam. While it doesn’t break the fast from a technical standpoint, smoking involves inhaling smoke and engaging in a habit that is harmful to one’s health. Fasting in Islam not only involves abstaining from food and drink but also encompasses a broader concept of self-discipline and purification. Many Islamic scholars and health experts advise against smoking, especially during fasting, due to its detrimental health effects. Smoking is harmful to the body, and fasting is an opportunity for Muslims to improve their physical and spiritual well-being. Therefore, it is recommended to refrain from smoking while fasting to fully benefit from the fast and to promote a healthier lifestyle.
