Fasting: Emission Due to Non-Mahram Interaction in Ramadan — Is the Fast Invalid?

English:

Question #782:

I had an emission during the blessed month of Ramadan for no reason other than excitement that I felt during a telephone conversation with a non-maḥram woman. If the phone conversation was not for the purpose of pleasure, is my fast invalid? And if it is, do I have to pay kaffārah as well?

Answer #782:

If the semen discharges against his will, the fast is not invalidated.
