in for
now all perfect praise is due to Allah
the Almighty I testify that none is
worthy of worship but Allah and I
testify that Muhammad is his final
prophet and messenger may Allah exalt
his mention as as as well as that of his
families and all his
companions we will start a series of
three or four sessions
on the
rulings or or on rulings on fasting and
related matters fasting in general and
certain matters that are related to
Ramadan in
particular uh let us start with the
definition
of fasting in uh in two aspects
linguistically in the Arabic language
refers to abstinence refraining
from any matter be it talking eating
drinking to abstain from
something is the literal linguistic
meaning of the word now in Islamic
terminology in
Shar has a a different uh or a more
detailed definition it is the abstinence
of food drink and sexual intercourse
with one's
spouse from dawn until
sunset with the
intention being in in the person's heart
or mind prior to the CRA the crack of
dawn so it contains three parts number
one the abstinence itself from food
drink and sexual intercourse number two
the period the duration is from the
crack ofon until Sunset and thirdly it
is having the
intention prior to the crack of
dawn if any of these is
violated the fast is
invalid the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam
touching upon the the uh
spiritual aspect
of and in Ramadan in
particular given a virtue of fasting
during Ramadan he said and this
narration is mentioned in the books of
iMed and
and ruled it to be an authentic
narration uh and it was narrated by Abu
Hur he said whoever fasts
Ramadan took conditions whoever fasts
Ramadan out of faith belief that it's
something that Allah ordained that's
number
one and hoping for the reward from
Allah now meeting these two conditions
results
in all his prior
sins will be forgiven you reset the
counter you start from again
you start from zero
again so the virtue of fasting Ramadan
with full faith sincere Faith firm
belief that Allah Asel ordained it and
hoping for the reward from Allah Asel
will result in the experation of old
person's prior
sins now
Allah knowing the
nature of mankind
kind he often
orders gives
encouragement and on the other hand
warns so you always see the command and
then encouragements to do it you get
this when you do it you get that right
but on the other hand you see if you
don't do it this will be the result this
is the consequence of negligence what is
the consequence of negligence with
regards to Ramadan the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam this is
mentioned in the books ofan and and
ruled as authentic by albani and
narrated by
AB the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam once was
narrating uh a dream he saw and dreams
for the for the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam was one of the forms of
Revelation and he said a long
dream during which he sallallah alai
wasallam was exposed to different types
of punishments for different sins people
commit in that narration he said so the
two angels took me and they we passed by
people who were hanging by their
hamstrings and their
mouths were torn and blood was pouring
out of their mouths so he said so I
inquired from the Angels who are these
people the Angels replied these are
people who
fast but break their fast short to
Sunset comments on this narration saying
if this is the
punishment
Allah is threatening those who actually
fast Ed the entire day but came short to
completing it and they ate or drank or
had intercourse with the spouse prior to
Sunset they are threatened with this
type of punishment he said if this is
that type of punishment for them how
would the punishment how would the
severity of the punishment be for those
who never fasted from the beginning of
the
day how would the punishment be for
those who neglect the Commandment of
Allah who broke the second pillar of
Islam or the third pillar of Islam
fasting because fasting is one of the
five pillars of Islam as in the
narration bynar that is reported in
bukari and musl by bukari and Muslim
Islam was established on five and then
the third thing he mentioned and in
another narration it was the fourth it
alternated with another one which is
zaka he mentioned fasting
if that was the punishment for someone
who
simply broke his fast early how would it
be for the one who never
fasts who never intended to fast he knew
radan is coming and he never had it in
his mind to say inshallah I'm going to
fast I seek the reward of Allah I want
to expiate my sins I want my sins to be
forgiven
forgiven how would the case be with
someone like
this we seek refuge in Allah from his
punishment imabi said whoever refrains
from fasting during Ramadan without a
legitimate excuse is worse than one who
commits Zena and who an
alcoholic he said he is worse than that
and Scholars consider him to be a
non-believer it's a serious matter to
neglect during Ramadan without
legitimate
excuse how is the month or how do people
confirm that the month has started and
the month has concluded how do we decide
that well the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam informs us that it is in bukari
and Muslim narrated by
Abu he said fast upon seeing it or
citing it and break your fast upon
sighting it meaning the Crescent so we
are are commanded by Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam to start our fast upon
citing the
Crescent upon the conclusion of the
month of shaan and citing that new
Crescent we will start so what if the
Crescent for some reason the moon can't
be seen the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam tells us he said but if you
can't do to clouds you cann't see it
then complete the count of shahan
30 days now notice something here which
comes as a response to those who say
well mathematically and due to
calculations no one will be able to see
it the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam never spoke about it not being
born or it being born as a matter of
fact being covered with clouds proves
that it is there right
but we couldn't see it so the
point the basis over which we decide the
initiation of the new month which is the
month of Ramadan is the actual
sighting of the Moon with the bare eye
with the naked
eye if we couldn't then we will complete
Ramadan Shaban 30 and likewise for the
conclusion of Ramadan and the beginning
of shaan
what are the pillars of fasting
fasting has two main pillars number one
to abstain from all things that nullify
and invalidate one's fast from the crack
of dawn until Sunset and number two is
the intention having the intention prior
to the crack of Don it can be done from
the night before
now uh the scholars
said there are different things by which
one is considered having had the
intention to fast number one is to
actually remember it number two is to
intend to have the pre- dawn Meal which
is or to intend from night the night
before to say tomorrow I'm going to
refrain from all invalidations of things
of the sort all of these things are
considered to be uh sufficient for one
to haven't had the uh intention what if
someone goes to
sleep after M and he
oversleeps a very exhausting day or he
was on a journey right prior to Ramadan
and announced Ramadan was announced the
next day day and he had just arrived
right and prayed and
slept and did not intend that
night and he woke up at
fer not having that intention equals an
invalid day that day is not going to be
counted for him he must make it up but
he must out of glorification for the
month of Ramadan he must refrain from
eating and drinking as
well what type of people are ordered and
commanded to fast
Ramadan the following preconditions must
be met before it becoming mandatory
about someone or upon someone to fast
number one he must be a Muslim so a
non-muslim is not required it's not
accepted he must must be sane he must be
uh at the age of puberty he must be
wealth heal well healthwise he must be
sound and he was he must be at residence
and for women they must be
out the the period of the monthly period
ministration period or the postpartum
bleeding period otherwise fasting is not
valid for them they're not allowed to
fast these are the types or the prec
conditions of uh that must be met before
it becomes mandatory upon someone to
fast uh what if a parent decides to make
his son or daughter who haven't reached
yet the age of puberty he decides to
make them fast out of training well it
is accepted and it's rather recommended
and encouraged as a form of training for
them so when they grow to the age where
their command
then they find it much easier than those
who would start training at the age of
puberty may Allah be pleased with her
said when uh before the the command to
fast Ramadan was revealed the Muslims
were commanded to fast Ash as an
obligation so she said we used to make
our kids fast and whenever they got
hungry we would give them a stuffed
animal what we know today as a stuffed
animal made out of wool so we would keep
them quiet make them forget the fasting
or the hunger they're F they're
suffering from until Sunset and then we
would give them food you need to notice
that a child who would become quiet with
a stuffed animal is really young so they
used to train them from a very young age
to fast because an eight-year-old or
9-year-old wouldn't really be uh moved
by a a stuffed animal it wouldn't
attract his attention you know so they
the companions were keen on training
their children raising this generation
upon piety and attaining piety which was
which is one of the main objectives of
uh fasting Ramadan and fasting in
general types of people who are Exempted
from fasting
and do not have to make up for the days
they break the fast but must pay Ransom
in return for every
day they break the fast there are
different classes of
people that fall under this category
number one is an old
person who cannot fast male or female
and this is the opinion of ab
a person who is sick and whose cure is
not hoped for chronically ill and there
is no hope for him to be treated so
there is no hope for him to later make
up for the fast he will continuously
remain ill so he can't fast forever so
that is incapable because Allah
conditioned that with capability
and said obligations are waved when
there is incapable ability in performing
them I give an example here we are
commanded to stand up during the
mandatory five daily prayers and if
someone sits without an excuse his Salah
is invalid correct but he's allowed to
sit when he is ill so that obligation of
standing up during
Salah is waved because of an excuse a
legitimate excuse why he's incapable
there is a hindrance that prevented him
from fulfilling this oblig likewise if
someone is ill and will continuously
remain ill then he'll never be able to
fast because his health simply does not
allow him so that's another uh category
or class of
people based on that the Contemporary
scholar said anyone whose job is
extremely
difficult and will not be able to fast
whilst working and he will always be
having this job because it's his only
source of Provisions then he is Al also
ruled as the one prior to that the one
with A continuous excuse legitimate
excuse not to fast number four and
number five are related to women a
pregnant woman and a breastfeeding woman
who fear for either their health or the
baby's health or the fetus in in the
pregnancy then they're allowed
to uh not to fast and pay Ransom feeding
a poor or needy person rather for every
day and this is the opinion
ofd
andd
now the
condition for this concession to be
given to these classes of people is
real
incapability real hardship that cannot
be
tolerated by normal
people and it's not just exhaustion a
bit tired ah I'm I don't feel very good
when if I fat no it has to be a
legitimate
excuse a real hardship that cannot be
tolerated and harm is expected as a
result of fasting for any of these
classes of people if they do
fast now this Ransom that must be paid
in form of food is equivalent to about
750
gr of
rice when he grew
older and he became unable to
fast he used to gather 30 poor or needy
people
and feed
them one meal all together to make up
for the 30 days he couldn't fast during
Ramadan this is a narration that was
ruled as authentic by
Sheikh now who's Exempted from fasting
but must make up the first one is
Exempted and does not have to pay to
make up but must pay a ransom this one
is a class who is Exempted from fasting
who's given the concession not to fast
to break his fast but must make up for
the Mis days it is a person who is
traveling and a person who is
ill and this illness is judged as the
scholars said based on one of the two
following uh categories or conditions
it's either judged by a doctor a
physician a medic doctor that is or
prior experience the person knows that
he is ill in this type of illness he's
got this type of disease and he knows
that in previous years when I try to
fast I
couldn't some people when they catch a
cold they can't do anything right
so if he catches a cold he simply cannot
fast he must be on
treatment others might catch a cold and
have infections and a runny note you
name it right but they still can
tolerate fasting and life goes on very
well so it's either by a physician
telling you no you're not
allowed or you yourself having prior
experience based on which you decide no
I can't fast if I am
ill
now what is better for a person who
is uh traveling
is it to break his fast and take up this
concession
or to fast and refrain from taking the
concession and applying it and enjoying
it well there is a difference of opinion
between the scholars it's a
controversial
issue said it is up to the person if he
sees that he is strong enough and he can
fast
then he may fast if he sees that he is
weak and fasting during travel will
weaken him and could subject him to harm
then he needs to refrain as a matter of
fact there is a
narration that is mentioned in the book
of IM Muslim
ham asked the Prophet sallu alaih
wasallam this particular question he
said I see in myself strength should I
fast or should I take the concession he
said if you feel that you're strong
enough and you can fast then go ahead
so it's up to the
person when would a person who is
intending to travel when can he actually
break the fast during
Ramadan then the scholar said if he is
if he mounts the means of travel if it's
the car and he starts traveling or the
plane then he may break the fast then
now any type of travel would suffice can
can someone travel for any purpose and
still say there's a concession and I'm
going to go ahead and break my fast no
Scholars said it must be a travel to a
lawful purpose so someone who's going to
gamble for example
right or other prohibited reasons of
travel is not prow to enjoy this
concession because he's going on a
impermissible and impermissible type of
travel so he is punished by not being
allowed to enjoy this
concession the third type of people who
are commanded to break the
fast and must make up so we mentioned
two who are allowed to break this one
this type is commanded it is Haram to
fast during Ramadan for this type of or
this class of people but must make up it
is only for women who are in their
monthly period or in the postpartum
bleeding they are commanded not to fast
it is Haram for a woman in such a period
or in such a situation to fast but she
must be she must
uh make up for these M days after
Ramadan after the bleeding stops now
even if she starts bleeding seconds
before the sun sets that day is invalid
and she must make it
up there are days that
Islam legislated
them being prohibited for fasting we
can't fast during them we will just
select some of them the two days of as
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
said and it's narrated by who reported
by Abu
and ruled it to be an authentic
narration the prophet sallai wasallam
forbade fasting during these two days
the day of and the day
of another another type of fasting or
another fasting that's prohibited is to
fast the day of Doubt people are
doubting whether tomorrow is Ramadan or
not you're not allowed to fast that day
unless it coincides
with fasting that you're usually used to
do for example it coincides with a
Thursday or a Monday and you're used to
fasting Mondays and Thursdays right in
this case this does not apply to you
okay another type of fasting that is
prohibited is continuous consecutive
fasting without breaking it with the
fast breaking meal or the pre-dawn meal
without eating it all continuing day and
night day and night the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam uh prohibited
that type of uh
fasting next we will come to the
etiquettes of uh fasting number one is
having the pre-dawn meal the meal
because the prophet sallallah alaihi
wasallam as in the books of Imam and
bukari and Muslim narrated by anas he
said eat the pre-dawn
meal eat the pre-dawn
meal in another
narration because because there is
blessings in the meal of in the pre-dawn
meal
of should I eat rice and chicken and
meat and bread then salad and have a a
jar of no no no so what would suffice as
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
said eat anything and if you can't at
least take a drink of
water so the minimum you can do is have
a drink of water but what is the best
type of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam said the best type of food
forur is
dates to have a date or to have dates
depends on how hungry you are right is
the best type of food you can take
as when is the best time to have don't
have after and go to sleep and waake
wake up for
f no no the best time the best time for
is shortly before the crack of dawn
before thean of f as was the practice of
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
what if someone is eating and he's
doubting whether or
not it's time for Salah well a man came
to Abbas and told him I eat when I start
doubting that it's time for Salah I
refrain he said no don't refrain
eat until you're certain that it's time
for Salah now this might not apply to
our times we have the calendar with the
timetable and we have the aan whether in
the radio or in the mid mashallah we
live in a Muslim country Allah has
blessed us alhamdulillah we lived in a
mus we live in a Muslim country and we
hear the Adan from multiple of mass not
just one single Masjid so I don't think
anyone would be in doubt whether or not
it's time for Salah unless he's deaf
then he needs to have sign language and
have someone tell him that inform him
that it's time for Salah the prophet
sallallah alaihi wasallam encouraged us
to break the fast with other ripe dates
if you don't have it then dried dates if
you don't have it then please take a sip
of water to break to break your fast
with another etiquette is to supplicate
now supplication
during uh the day or whilst one is
fasting is recommended and encouraged
and the prophet sallallahu alaih am told
us that the fasting
person has his
supplications responded to and
answered throughout his fasting but upon
breaking the fast that particular time
there is
also a supplication that will not be
rejected by Allah so it is recommended
that as soon as you break the fast to
supplicate
and in the times we live in let us try
to remember our brothers and sisters who
are suffering throughout the
world next is to
refrain from
anything that goes against the objective
of fasting fasting is meant to be a
training it's meant to achieve
piety it's meant to achieve Allah
Consciousness so stay away from anything
that violates this fighting shouting bad
mouthing
cheating so on and so forth because the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam told
us that fasting is not only meant to
refrain from food and drink and sexual
desire
he
said perhaps a fasting person will get
nothing out of his fasting but thirst
and
hunger this means he did not benefit
from that fasting that he's done why
because he did not refrain from other
things besides food and drink and sexual
desires lastly is the use of seak the
tooth stick it is recommended the
prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam
recommended the use of siak in all
times and it doesn't matter if it's in
the beginning of the day in the middle
of the day or prior to Sunset one is
recommended to use siak throughout the
day things that are permissible during
fasting number one is to immerse
yourself to dip yourself in water
whether is it it's swimming or taking a
shower the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam
ABD said I I saw the prophet Sall alaihi
wasallam whilst fasting pouring water
over his head cool himself down it's
very hot so you can take a shower if
it's very hot and it's worth mentioning
that this year we're approaching Ramadan
and it's going to be a very long Ramadan
and it's going to be a very hot and
humid Ramadan and I see this to be one
of the blessings from
Allah it's one of the favors from Allah
Asel upon us why because we got to we
got to fast There's No Escape right
but it's going to be difficult and the
prophet Sall alaih wasallam
told you get rewarded equivalent to the
hardship you go through so there is no
way we can say we're not going to fast
so we must fast but Allah decreed that
it's going to be in a long hot summer so
we thank Allah and we need to think
positive of this aspect of the heat and
humidity and the link We Are given a
longer period to supplicate and
supplications are not rejected they're
responded and answered by Allah what
more of a blessing can be there Subhan
Allah so we thank Allah Asel for this
bounty on top of the bounty of
Ramadan it is permitted to use eye drops
ear drops and K uh the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam asked
peration by reported by Ma and Alani
ruled it to be authentic she said the
prophet Sall alaihi wasallam used whilst
he was
fasting kissing hugging embracing one's
spouse for those who are married of
course Bachelors we skip this point for
you but for us married people this is
something but it is conditioned the
condition is that one must be able to
control himself and not go after that
go beyond hugging and kissing and
touching the
spouse came to the prophet sallallah
wasallam and he said oh messenger of
Allah I am ruined he said what ruined
you what destroyed you he said I kissed
my wife during the day while I was
fasting he said don't you perform he
said yes he said don't you rinse your
mouth he said yes he said do you see
anything
wrong with that whilst fasting he said
no he said so why are you
asking meaning there is also nothing
wrong with kissing and hugging your wife
whilst fasting now said the resemblance
between the two why did the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam talk to him
about rinsing the mouth during wo whilst
fasting as an answer to him asking about
the kiss he said because if one
exaggerates and is not careful when he's
rining his mouth he can swallow water
and thus invalidate his fast likewise if
you kiss and stop and don't exaggerate
to the point where you go beyond that
and invalidate your fast by having a
sexual intercourse then it's also a
right and there's no problem with it
taking shots and injections uh non
nutritious once of
course also permitted inhalers for those
who are asmatic uh eye drops ear drops
and
sories uh as well and he said none of
that
invalidates uh the fast cupping during
Ramadan it's a controversial issue but
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
as mentioned in the book of Imam Al
bukari uh had cing done to him whilst he
was fasting rinse in the mouth and the
nose as per the uh prior narration is
also permitted provided one is careful
not to exaggerate as the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam
told he said rinse your mouth and nose
but don't exaggerate when you're
fasting things that cannot be avoided
like one is is walking and then is the
wind blows dust and he swallows the dust
or something like that then there is
nothing wrong with that tasting the food
for those who are cooking uh but I don't
mean eating okay it's just tasting it
with the tip of the tongue and then
spitting that afterwards don't say I
heard in a Le in a lesson that you can
taste the food so I'm just tasting the
food right and you eat half of the pot
no that's not what's intended here just
take it on the tip of the tongue to make
sure the spices are right salt is are
right right so if you have a picky
husband uh he won't throw a fit when
he's having right but you need to spit
that out after making sure the taste is
uh what you want uh smelling incense and
perfumes uh is also permitted said
something that's very beautiful
regarding perfume incense and and uh and
injections he
said is one of the pillars of Islam and
was completely clarified by the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam in
details and these matters are matters
that were used and practiced by people
very commonly on daily
basis so had they been nullifiers of
one's fast then the prophet sallallah
alai wasam would have clarified this to
people just like he clarified everything
else that nullifies one's fast on
different occasions and in different
texts and then he said that
is and since we don't have an authentic
or an inauthentic narration stating that
any of these matters nullify one's fast
then we can safely conclude that these
matters do not invalidate one's
fast what is also permitted is to eat
and drink and have sexual intercourse
from Sunset until the crack of dawn not
the other way around right from Sunset
until the just before the crack of
dawn to wake up in the state of ritual
impurity P impurity one had sexual
intercourse with his wife at night and
uh he intended to wake up
for but he over SLE overslept until
thean so he woke up in the state of
ritual impurity then that's no problem
he can go and take a ritual
bath and uh resume with his fasting the
the remaining part of the day and there
is no problem with that as per the ntion
of in the book of IM alkari and
Muslim this also applies to a woman who
uh just concluded his her postpartum
bleeding or the monthly period uh and
did not take a a a ritual bath until
after the the crack of dawn then that's
also not a problem what if someone eats
and drinks thinking this that the sun
had
set then there is no
problem and this is in the book of IM
bukari she said one day during the time
of the Prophet sallallah wasallam we ate
and drank thinking that the sun had set
there was there were clouds in the sky
so so we thought we thought the sun had
sat so we ate and then suddenly the
clouds moved and the prophet sallallah
alaihi wasallam did not command us to
make up for that day this means that
mistakenly breaking the fast thinking
that the sun had set and then
discovering that it had not set now one
might argue well we have aan what if
you're traveling right and you're on the
road you're traveling by car and there
are Parts where there is no reception in
the radio you don't know right and you
think well this can apply even during
our
times things that invalidate one's
fast intentionally eating and
drinking now what if someone forgetfully
eats and drinks the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam said anyone who eats and
drinks
whilst forgetting that he's fasting then
it is Allah who gave him food and drink
let him continue his
fast and this is
mentioned by IM
ma ruled it as authentic I know a person
who was fasting one day but it was a
voluntary fast and uh he during Lun hour
this is back in the States during Lun
hour he went to his uh parents' house
and his mom said son why don't you sit
and eat so he sat and ate a full meal
and drank and then had tea and dessert
and then he said oh Mom you know what
she said what son he said I forgot I was
fasting she said Subhan Allah you ate
all of that and you're fasting you
forgot that you're
fasting but still Subhan Allah it is
Allah who gave him this food and
drink okay uh if a woman receives her
monthly period or the postpartum
bleeding as we said even if it was
seconds prior to the the the sunset then
her fast for that day is invalid and she
must make it up intentional
vomiting the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam said and this is by reported by
imami and ruled as authentic by albani
rated by Abu Hur he said anyone who's
overcome by
venting then he does not need to make up
but if he intentionally vomits then he
needs to make that
up ejaculation whether by touching the
wife hugging the wife kissing the wife
or masturbation or any physical means uh
invalidates one's fast but the scholars
said if it's just by looking at one's
wife and one ejaculates then this is
just like wet dreams it does not mandate
one to make that up a dangerous point
that invalidates the fast is to intend
even if you don't drink or eat anything
if one intends firmly intends okay I'm
not going to continue the
day right this intention is only known
by
Allah may Allah preserve him said that
invalidates his fast and he needs to
make that day up there
is one action that invalidates the
fast and
mandates making up as well as an
experation and that is only when
one
intentionally
willingly whilst remembering that he's
fasting has intercourse with the
spouse
so intentionally willingly so if he's
forced to do
it
then he's not
included
forgetfully he's not
included so intentionally willingly
remembering that he is
fasting a man came to the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam and this is
in the books of imams Al bukari and
Muslim narrated by
Abu he said oh prophet of Allah I'm
destroyed he said what did you
do he said I had intercourse with my
spouse during the day whilst fasting in
Ramadan he said do you have means to
free a
slave he said
no he
said are you strong enough to fast 60
consecutive days non-stop no
interruptions he said no I
can't he said do you have money to feed
60 poor
people he he said no I
don't so the prophet sallallah alaihi
wasallam remained silent and the man
sat a short while later the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam was brought a
container of
dates so he said where's the man who
just asked me the
question he said here I am oh prophet of
Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam he said
take this and go give it to a poor or
needy family in Medina he said I whereby
Allah who has sent you with the truth I
don't think that there is a family in
Medina poorer than my family so the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said
then take these dates and feed them to
your family and he laughed sallai wasam
until the sahabi the companion said we
saw his moral
teeth out of laughter he sallallah
alaihi wasallam was laughing to the
situation of this man who violated his
but then took food and gave it to his
family as a
result now is this something that the
woman is addressed with to the
experation it's different types first
type is a woman who willingly did it
with her husband
then she's also addressed and she must
also
expiate but if her husband forced her
then the predominant opinion is say that
she is not addressed with the
experation she is not to expiate but
only to uh make
up what if someone is making up for
Ramadan and it's not during
Ramadan and he does that he doesn't have
to expiate but he must make it
up the order in which one expat for this
uh violation is the order mentioned in
the narration he must free a slave if he
can't then he or doesn't find like in
our time now there are no slaves then he
must fast 60 consecutive days non-stop
if he interrupts at day 58 59 then he
must re start all over again from day
one right so if he goes on goes on goes
on holding on 56 57 58 59 and then
breaks a day then you start count day
one day two day three and so
on difficult
well it's a consequence of
negligence and given into to the Shan
and to our
desires but that does not include the
interruption happening due to the days
ofid because we're commanded not to fast
this does not interrupt the sequence of
the days or the uh
continuity of the
fast making up for Ramadan can be done
anytime and it doesn't have to be in
succession someone missed say on a
travel or a sickness or the ladies for
their monthly periods or something
missed three five 10 days whatever he
can make it up or she can make it up up
until next
Shan right as used to do she used to
make up in the Shan of the uh following
year prior to the following Ramadan and
it doesn't have to be all in one
go someone who
dies and did not fast what is the
condition
there well there are two people or two
types of people he did not fast whilst
able to
fast and there are two branches to this
was he excused or was he not
excused if he did not
fast uh did not make up for the fast I'm
sorry if he did not make up for his fast
whilst able to
fast and had no
excuse then his guardian and the
guardian here is a relative or an
ear uh needs to feed a poor person
as a way of giving charity on his
behalf it's not to make up for these
days because he had no
excuse now if he was if he had a
legitimate excuse then his Guardian
would feed someone on his
behalf said if someone fasts and he owes
days of fasting then let people meaning
his relatives or ears feed a person a
needy person for every day he owes and
this is narrated by reported by andani
ruled it to be an authentic
narration someone who didn't fast but
was not able to fast during his life the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was
approached and this is thetion by AB
reported by
iMed ruled it to be
authentic according to the conditions of
authenticity of IMS alkari and Muslim a
man came to the prophet Sall Al wasallam
and he said my mom died and she owed a
month of
fasting should I fast he said if she
owed money would you not pay it back he
said yes if she was indebted with money
he said yes I would pay it back he said
then the debt of Allah is worthier to be
paid back fast on her
behalf let me
conclude the session
with mentioning things that are
recommended for a person to
do whilst fasting and particularly
during
Ramadan as we said the objective of
fasting is to obtain piety
perhaps that you can attain or achieve
piety or Allah Consciousness so anything
that serves this
purpose anything that goes in this
direction is encouraged and
recommended number
one is Quran the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam used to review Quran
with
jiel every year once except for the year
of his death he reviewed it twice and
there are too many narrations too many
stories on about the Companions and
about the Sala may Allah have mercy upon
them how they used to concentrate and
focus on the recitation of Quran during
Ramadan number two mentioning Allah in
general number three giving out in
charity and this is mentioned in the
book of Imam bukari he said the prophet
sallallah alai wasallam was the most
generous of people there is no one who
was more generous than him in giving out
in charity and he was the
most generous during Ramadan when jiel
came down to review the Quran with him
he would be faster
in generosity meaning in in spending
than a blowing wind that continuously
blows look at the beautiful description
of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam charity
number five I'll ask count here
praying and remaining with the IM
leading the Salah until he concludes
because the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam said the result of that is that
it would be counted as if you had prayed
the entire
night
so if Allah decrees and you're passing
by and it is time to
pray and you can't make it if you if you
try to go elsewhere you would lose it
and you happen to be in a Masjid where
the imam's voice is not very pleasant
then tolerate it for the
reward for that day tolerate it and then
look for another Masjid or make sure
you're near the Masjid that you want to
pray in the following
night next
is which is residence in the Masjid in
seclusion not in
socialization a lot of people gather and
socialize a lot in with the intention of
worshiping
Allah so when you go
to
inshallah make sure that you don't talk
a lot you don't socialize a lot you're
not there to do that you can do that at
home you can call your
friends I I've been in in in an where
people had internet and they were
actually using the internet during and
and surfing the net whilst in and
calling the wife 300 times and calling
all the friends so what's the purpose of
if you're going to be doing everything
else that you're doing in life in a
normal situation except for what you're
supposed to be doing which is secluding
yourself from
everything to worship Allah so let us
make sure if Allah blesses us and we go
in to
be another recommended Act is performing
during Ramadan for those who can do it
whether they can take time off or they
can afford it or cannot afford it
whatever because it's equivalent to
performing
Haj with the prophet sallallahu alhi
wasallam as he said he
said performing a during Ramadan is
equivalent to performing ha with me
right finally is uh it is very
encouraged and recommended to feed
people who are fasting to give him the
fast breaking Meal which which is
called right what's the result of that
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
said whoever does that will get the
reward of that fasting person without
diminishing his reward so you fasting
that day and you saw a group of people
and you gave them food 10 so you've
actually fasted got got the reward of
fasting 10+ 1 11 days we ask
Allah to accept from us
to prolong Our Lives to make us reach
Ramadan and enable us whilst in Ramadan
to perform all different types or acts
of worship and make it sincere for the
sake of
Allah and accept them from us and free
us from fire because Allah during
Ramadan every night frees a set group of
people of the Believers from Hellfire we
ask Allah to make us amongst those who
are Freed From Hell Fire during Ramadan
