[Music]
ald Allah subh says in his
book remind the Muslims and keep
reminding them because they will receive
an admonition by constant reminding so
just as a reminder though our Mash might
shed lies and maybe they discussed
already some of these points which we
are going inshallah to elaborate more on
some of them but I feel there is no harm
inshallah because this inshallah will
will give us admonition and we will be
uh reminded by going through them uh
rulings and regulations that are related
to the fast uh first of all the N the N
or the intention of The Fast and before
we and the Hadith the prophet Sall
wasallam said he who does not have the
Nia or the intention from the night he
has no fast that means his fast is
invalid and this is of course applied to
the F fast Ramadan the obligatory fast
not for nothing nothing you can have the
from the morning no problem and but
first of all we have to understand and
as we know that needs will be judged
according to one's intention according
to one's intention so what is the Nia
the Nia it is a mental
preparation that you prepare yourself
mentally for instance when you get up to
take woodoo that is aan
itself you are now taking the Blan
taking
wo if someone asks you what are you
doing I'm taking woo I'm taking a
pollution what for I'm going to pray I'm
going to the Masid so when you are
leaving from your house to the Masjid
the near is already in your heart the
near is already in your heart if someone
comes meets you on the way where are you
I'm going to pray so the knee is already
in your heart when you get up at night
when we get up at night and we are
eating the if your little child said
Daddy why are we eating now because my
son it is tomorrow Ramadan we are
fasting so the near it's already in the
heart it's already there not that some
Muslims they might say we have to say it
we have to ater it and we have to
pronounce it what for there's no need
for you to pronounce it it should be
there in your
heart so that is very important because
the ni is the it helps us to
differentiate and distinguishes between
and the okay which is active worship and
which is a habit or custom so only for
instance if we have two people are
fasting fasting in the sense they are
not eating and drinking but one is
fasting only to lose weight he's on a
diet and the other one is fasting to
please Allah so that one though he is
fasting he's not getting any reward from
Allah but the other one will get the
reward because of the intention because
of that nobl the noble intention which
he has uh who are Exempted from fasting
or Allah subhah wa taala as I said in
the previous talks that this Dean is so
simple very simple and it is very
practical as well so some people they
might not be able to fast and they are
incapable to fast so Allah Exempted them
from observing this pillar of Islam
which is the fast first the first one is
the insane
Al the insane the one who lost his
sanity so we don't ask him he is not
obligated to fast
the second one children who haven't
reached the age of
puberty but it is recommended that we
train children to fast we train them
even half a day maybe the second day he
will complete one day so we train the
children and that what the the women of
the sahaba they were training the
children so we trained the children to
get used to the to the fast in the same
way we train them to pray also pregnant
women because we know women during
pregnancy they feel weak so some of them
fast might affect her health might
affect her health so they are Exempted
from fasting and they have to give what
we call kafar every day they have to
feed one poor man but if they come fast
they should give it a try I don't want
our sisters to take it as a as a uh
chance for them and they should stop
fasting no they should try their best if
she found out that fasting really
affecting her health and weakening her
then she can break her her fast but she
should not from day one says I am
pregnant I will not fast no give it a
try give it a try then if you find it
difficult then
you then you uh you can break your fast
also those who are ill and The Travelers
and the elders as well they can also uh
break their fast Travelers even nowadays
we travel in airanes and they have a AC
and and everything nevertheless you can
break your fast if you
wish the the
permissibility is given by Allah subhana
wa ta'ala
and whether you are traveling by an
airplane or by car still the travel
itself or the journey is something
tiring and the prophet wasam said
so traveling is indeed a piece of
punishment and it is even if you are an
airplane you come through turbulance
what happens huh you feel that you are
going to die so still you suffer though
you are an on board of an
airplane so still those who are
traveling they can break their fast if
they wish and if they feel tired also
they can break their fast and the
scholars they differed about this point
which is better to complete or to break
there are two opinions about this some
they say you break a fast when you are
traveling some they say you carry on and
both of them are correct because the
prophet Sall
wasallam he used to fast and also the
sahabah they used to fast and some of
them they used to pray and none of them
will will blame each other those who are
fasting will not talk about those who
are not fasting and those who are not
fasting will not talk about those who
are fasting because the room and the
freedom is
there and also women during the period
of
menstruation or after uh child birth
they are not allowed actually to fast
they should break their their fast
validity of
fasting the validity of the fasting
depends on the following first of all we
have to abstain from food liquids sexual
activities from dawn to
Sunset from dawn to Sunset you should
not uh be uh doing any of these things
also the intention we should have the
intention which is we say it's a mental
preparation and also
uh the uh it's recommended as well to
take the before preserving the the the
fast so these are the things so what
will uh invalidate what will invalidate
one's fast whatever goes into the body
through the mouth food drink and also
sexual intercourse and
uh uh sexual intercourse or the glycose
which is some injections that are
nutritious that is food that should will
break your fast that also will break
your fast and of course it is desirable
as it is known to all of you to break
one fast as soon as possible and to
break with date and water if there's no
date then water date that is the sunah
of the prophet wasallam and after
breaking our fast we
say which means thirst has gone veins
are flowing again and the reward is
certain inshallah that's the meaning of
the Dua and we say this after we ate and
drank Etc we found some Muslims
immediately when he is siing he's saying
you're still thirsty so how you saying
uh things that which
uh uh invalidate one's fast and of
course they
require or you have to make up these
days for instance eating or drinking
intentionally if you eat or drink
intentionally you have your fast will be
invalidated and you have to make up one
day also uh if you vomit intentionally
throw up that means by putting your
finger into your mouth and then you
vomit
that also will break your fast but if
you vomited despite your will you smell
something and you couldn't take it and
you vomited that will not break your
fast you just rinse your mouth and
continue
also the the moment a woman gets her
period she has to break her fast even if
it is just 5 minutes before
Adan or 10 minutes before aan before the
the sunset she got her period she cannot
but she cannot carry on fasting because
her fast now is
invalid and of course eating or drinking
or having intercourse after Dawn that
also invalidates the things that will
not invalidate On's uh
fast if anyone forgets that he is
fasting and eats and drinks he should
carry on fasting if for instance I
forgot that I am observing fast then I
uh at or I drank
then I remembered I should carry on and
the scholars here they differ there are
two opinions they said if you saw
someone in Ramadan eating or drinking by
mistake should you keep quiet or should
you remind
him okay some they say you keep
quiet because this is a gift from Allah
subhana taala okay it is a gift from
Allah subh so why you want to deprive
him of this okay so why you want to
deprive him of this so let him and carry
on eating and drinking the other opinion
says no you should remind him because
Allah has commanded us as Muslims to
cooperate with each other regarding the
B which is righteousness and piety and
not to help each other regarding
transgression which is thatan so I have
to to remind him but even if you after
you at and you are now full mashallah
and your thirst is
gone and then you remembered
alhamdulillah carry on fasting it is a
gift from Allah subhanahu wa taala and
it doesn't happen to anyone it is out of
Allah's Mercy sometimes you feel you're
very thirsty your lips are dry and Allah
will make you to forget to forget to
forget and you will go open the fridge
take water and you'll drink and put it
back then you'll remember because you
need
it because Allah is
merciful and he is more merciful to us
than our mothers than our
mothers also unintentional vomiting if
you vomited
unintentionally you throw up
unintentionally your fast is okay just
rinse your mouth and proceed and
proceed uh also swallowing things which
are not possible to avoid like the
saliva your own saliva if you swallow it
will that invalidate your fast no that
will not invalidate even this but
even not only the the normal saliva it
is what they call n this spum itself
will that also invalidate your fast no
it will not invalidate your fast but of
course it is recommended to throw it out
but if F someone swallowed his own
sputum that would not break his own his
own
fast and also the dust of the street
let's say that you pass and it was very
dusty day and the dust has gone or you
pass by a Mill and the flower is has
entered into your uh into your chest Etc
that also will not uh will not inshallah
uh invalidate also uh the same thing
smoke if you there is a smoke and you
passed and it went into your body that
also will not invalidate your bus but
smoking cigarette of course as you know
it is Haram I'm telling you Muslims it's
Haram and Muslim should give it up and
also you can brush your teeth during
Ramadan there's no harm even using the
toothpaste but make sure that it will
not you don't swallow it you don't
swallow it and also the injections that
also will not uh affect your fast unless
as I said it is nutritious it is like
the glucose which you can live on that
also uh uh invalidate the fast otherwise
normal injections or giving blood
donation or something or they extract
blood from your body because for medical
tests Etc that will not invalidate your
fast and uh so these are in brief the uh
the rulings related to the topic of
fasting and the virtues of fasting and
some rulings of the fasting may Allah
accept our deeds and may Allah increase
our knowled in his Dean am mean and now
inshallah we open the floor for
questions
yesam alayum may Allah honor you shik
I'd like to ask you if I wake up in the
morning in a state of janaba will this
invalidate My fasting or reduce my
reward okay this a good question uh if I
get up in the morning in a state of
janaba janaba is a sexual defilement
after one had sex with his wife and or
wet dream those who are not married they
got up in the morning and they had wet
dream will that Al will that invalidate
his his fast no
said that the prophet wasam he used to
get up in the morning in state of janaba
and he would just presume and carry on
fasting so that has nothing to do with
the fast or the validity of the fast the
fast is valid though it is recommended
that according to the Sunnah of the
Prophet Salli wasallam that when you
make laugh the night before that you
take a shower before you go to sleep or
at least
wo the minimum thing that you take is
woo you go take woo before you sleep you
take woo then you go to sleep in the
morning you you take the shower in the
morning you take the shower next
question please if I'm living in a
western country or in a place in which
the daytime is too long more than even
17 hours or something like that what
should I do as a Muslim craving for
observing fasting all right
alhamdulillah the the scholars they gave
the answer of this not only the scholars
the prophet Salli wasallam he gave the
schol the answer to this question
especially for places where the day is
very long and the answer is that as long
as that particular place is having day
and night within the 24 hours that is
their day whether it is 20 hours whether
it 18 hours Etc they have to observe
fasting according to their day from the
break of the day until the sun sets but
places that they don't have day and
night for instance in some countries the
day is six months and the night is six
months so how do they fast and how do
they play in this case we stand there
are two opinions the first opinion says
that we standardize them according to
Makkah according to Makkah because that
is the reference so we standardize them
then in this case those people because
they don't have day and night they can
fast by the hours how many hours people
in Makkah they fast they go according to
that the other opinion says the next
country to them the closest country to
them which has day and night they should
follow it so there are two opinions but
this is in the absence of day and night
but countries that have day and nights
whether the day irrespective of the D
the duration of the day or the length of
the day or the N of the night they have
to observe fasting and Allah knows
best next question is there any more
questions now we are living in the west
and you said that I have to observe
fasting exactly but if it is 20 hours a
day the day is 20 hours should i f the
20 hours exactly that's what I said I
said that is your day but I have
something and not only this not only
this some in the other season it will be
different after a few years your fasting
period will be only a few
hours you see this is the Justice in one
season it is a long a season will come
it will be very very short so that is
that is the that's the rule in
Islam any more questions now we are
supposed to dedicate as much as possible
of our time to worship of Allah being in
the last uh 10 days or 10 nights of
Ramadan but unfortunately most people or
maybe some of them concentrate only on
the five nights uh one of which contains
the please say something to such
people of course as I said we should
have
we should have the same Vigor and
strength from day one of Ramadan until
the end of
Ramadan we should not only worship Allah
in the last 10 nights and dedicated to
the worship of Allah from day one we
should worship Allah and work hard
hoping that Allah subhana wa taala at
the end of the month will set us free
from the punishment of the Hellfire may
Allah accept our fast and your fast amen
