Question

Please consider your response to Question no 7420 where you replied that if a person masturbates during a fast he will have to undertake 60 consecutive fasts, whereas in response to question 7475 you have replied that there is no ?Kaffarh? for breaking fasts by masturbation and only? Qadhaa? has to be performed for each broken fast. Again in response to questions 6407 and 4047 you had earlier replied that only ?Qadhaa? has to made and not ?Kaffarah?. Your answer to question 7420 appears to contradict your answers to questions 7475,6407 and 4047 .Can you please clarify.

Masturbation while fasting necessitates Qadhaa only, not Kaffaarah.
