AL-KAFI #309 :BERKHAYAL SEHINGGA TERKELUAR MANI SEWAKTU BERPUASA
Does a fast become invalid if semen is emitted from lustful thoughts or looking at arousing things, and is a obligatory bath required?
Short answer
The fast is not invalidated when semen is emitted through a dream, thinking or looking at arousing things, even repeatedly, because there is no mubasyarah, meaning direct skin contact without a barrier.

Summary
The fast is not invalidated when semen is emitted through a dream, thinking or looking at arousing things, even repeatedly, because there is no mubasyarah, meaning direct skin contact without a barrier. The obligatory bath (mandi wajib) is still required. The ruling advises filling Ramadan with good deeds and avoiding useless thoughts or sights, since sins can damage the reward of fasting.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Puasa seseorang itu tidak batal kerana keluarnya air mani melalui mimpi, berfikir, dan melihat perkara yang bersyahwat, meskipun secara berulang, tidak membatalkan puasa kerana ketiadaan mubasyarah, yakni menyentuh langsung tanpa lapik.
