If the ejaculation occurred without intending to do that, Qadha is must of that fast. Kaffara is obligatory if it was done intentionally. But how can one masturbate with out intending to do it? Was he sleeping. If he masturbates while he was awake then he has committed it intentionally. If he masturbated but his intention was not to reach to ejaculation, and ejaculation occurred with out his control, that might be possible.

Wassalam.

The age of taklif for a female is completion of nine lunar years, which in Gregorian calendar is 8 years, 8 months and 20 days (approximately). 

If she is younger than this, she does not need to make up to anything, and her fasting is just for learning. If she is of taklif age, and she was extremely hungry, unable to continue fasting, she just makes up this day later on as qadha`, and there is no kaffarah. 

It is always strongly recommended to wake up for suhur (pre-dawn) time and have a healthy meal, drink water, etc., to be able to avoid severe hunger during the day, especially for younger people.

And Allah knows best.

Gates of hellfire are closed for the sincere believers who fast and worship Allah sincerely. Gates of hellfire are not closed for the enemies of Allah and insisting sinners who commit sinful acts and don't care for the orders of Allah (SWT).

You are not exempt from fasting. Even if your van is always moving to different locations, you need to fast as a frequent traveler.

Such narrations are not to be taken for granted and most of our great scholars did not follow it in their verdicts. It might be talking about a specific year and can not be taken for all the years.

You must do Qadha and also do the Kaffara of deliberately breaking the fast which is either fasting two months continuously or feeding sixty poor believers for every day of broken fast. You also need to seek forgiveness for that sin.

Taharah is a real condition شرط واقعي in Prayers and fasting. Any worship which requires Purity (Taharah) is invalid if it was done with out purity.

If you could not learn basic rules of Ghusl and never been informed that Ghusl is obligatory in certain cases, which is very rare now a days, then the rule is different. But if you knew about Ghusl and it becomes obligatory in certain situations, and you did not know that it applies on you, and you fasted with out Ghusl, then you need to perform the obligatory Ghusl then perform every worship which was performed with out Ghusl.

You can read the verdict of Ayatullah Sustani as follows:

Ruling 1593. If a junub in the month of Ramadan forgets to perform ghusl and remembers after one day, he must keep a qaḍāʾ fast for that day; and if he remembers after a few days, he must keep a qaḍāʾ fast for all the days that he is certain to have been junub on. For example, if he does not know whether he was junub for three or four days, he must keep qaḍāʾ fasts for three days.

If you did not know, and you did not have the ability to educate yourself about these things, then your fasting is valid. Otherwise, you will need to do qadha.
