Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Ayatollah al-Uzma Sayyid Khamenei and Ayatollah al-Uzma Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
It is not permissible to stimulate desire in this manner, and it is obligatory to avoid it. This act is prohibited even if no semen is released, whether during Ramadan or at any other time. However, fasting is not invalidated merely by placing a finger in the anus without intention or ejaculation.
May you be successful in all good.
