Praise be to Allah.
Is masturbation prohibited in Islam?
Masturbation, or what is called the secret habit, is prohibited because of the evidence which has been explained in the answer to question number 329 . If climax is reached as a result, it is obligatory to do Ghusl (ritual bathing).
There is no particular expiation for masturbation , but it is obligatory to repent from it, by giving it up, regretting having done it and resolving not to go back to it.
Does masturbation break the fast?
If doing the secret habit is accompanied by climax, then this invalidates the fast and prayer is not valid unless you do Ghusl.
If it was not accompanied by climax, then your prayer and fasting are valid.
Masturbating while not knowing that it breaks the fast
If a person masturbates and is ignorant of the ruling that it is obligatory to do Ghusl afterwards and that it invalidates the fast, does he have to make up the prayer and the fast? There is a difference of opinion among the scholars concerning that, but the majority are of the view that it is obligatory to make them up . Some scholars are of the view that it is not obligatory.
In order to be on the safe side, you should make up the fast of those two days, if climax was reached.
With regard to prayer, you should offer a lot of Sunnah prayers and righteous deeds, but we do not think that you are obliged to make them up.
Signs of reaching puberty
You should know that there are signs of reaching puberty and that a girl may reach puberty before the age of 15, if she starts to menstruate or if any of the other signs of puberty appear. For more information on that, please see the answer to question number 20475 and 21246 .
What happened to you emphasises the importance of seeking Islamic knowledge, which is something that is easy to do nowadays, praise be to Allah.
We ask Allah to guide us and you and make us steadfast.
And Allah knows best.
