Is the dua to be said at the time of Iftar required? Also, what is the correct time to say the dua, before breaking my fast or after? Lately I have been finishing Iftar first and then making the dua.

So I have decided to fast for Ramadan for the first time this year and have kept the dry fast decently so far. But, I have a masturbation addiction. I know it’s considered as haram whether it’s Ramadan or not, but the least I want to do is to at least not break the fast during this month. I did search and found out that if you don’t ejaculate semen, then the fast is still valid. However, I did not find any source that specified about orgasm. I did orgasm, but did not ejaculate. But is the fast still valid? And if it’s broken now, do I eat normally or do I still wait for iftar? Also, do I really have to do the 60 people feeding etc? Not able to afford that. Thanks in advance. 🙏🏻

Is it mandatory to say bismillah before breaking the fast in Ramadan? I usually just say a small dua (allahumma laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa`ala rizq-ika aftartu) before I do, is this permissible?

In the month of Ramadan that last went by, I was at my local mosque for iftar. When it was time to break our fast, we did so but I was encouraged to keep on eating for at least ten minutes before we went to pray. Is it normal to wait so long after the adhan for maghrib to start praying? Normally, when I've prayed in mosques we wait a minimal time between the adhan and the prayer, and at home I pray directly after breaking my fast. Is it normal to wait so long after breaking ones fast to pray maghrib?

Some brothers go to the gym during their fast and work out for around an hour before breaking the fast. I read there is some benefit for the body / losing weight / etc doing this. I'm wondering if there is any evidence in the Hadith on this however?

Is is wrong on my part to eat at an iftar feast arranged by a Masjid if am not on fast? However the food is more than enough for everybody.

I live in an area where there are multiple masjids in the vicinity. Adhan can be heard from all the masjids, but the adhans are called at different times. The last one I hear is almost after the completion of first adhan I hear. In such a situation which adhan should I consider for making and breaking fast? Currently I am relying on the first adhan which I hear and it is not from the nearest masjid. But it's the Juma masjid I go to on Fridays.

I've noticed a lot of my Sunni friends being very particular about breaking their fast immediately after it is sunset. As far as i know, it is makruh to wait a long time to break the fast, and that it is not wajib to break it immediately. I'd like to know the Sunni justification for a couple of things: - Why break the fast after sunset instead of after Maghrib? - Why be so stringent about the time the fast is broken?

At home I normally break my fast with dates or something sweet, but at my local mosque we mainly had fried food, and this seems unusual to me. How should I break my fast? I know it is sunnah to eat dates, but is it ok not to?
