Re: Ramadhan Al Kareem - The Blessed Month
Wonderful thread with information that I have found helpful. Thank you many times over! :)
Important Rulings Regarding Fasting That The Fasting Person Should Know:
- Whoever breks his fast in Ramadan for a valid reason has to make up the missed days. It is preferred that he/she makes up the missed days immediately after Ramadan and on consecutive days
- To eat or drink due to forgetfulness Abu Hurairah reported that the PRophet Muhammad
“whoever forgets he/she is fasting and eats or drinks is to complete his/her fasting as it was Allah SWT who fed him/her and gave him/her something to drink.” This is related by the group. - It is permissible for a fasting person to be in the state of being sexually defiled (janab) in the morning. (At the time of Fajr): all he/she has to do is to perform Ghusl (Complete Ritual Bathing) and his fasting is valid. Hazrat Aisha
reported that the Prophet would some time get up in the morning while in the state of Janaba (sexually defiled) at the Time of Fajr and He would perform Ghusl and fast. - It is permissible to use all kinds of perfume while fasting except bukhoor (incense) for it is better to avoid it.
- It is permitted for the fasting person to pur water over one’s self and submerse one’s sef in water to cool one’s body etc. in the Sahih Al Bukhari and Muslim, it is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that the Prophet would rise in the morning on a fsting day and then would perform Ghusl (A complete ritual bathing)
- It is permissible for the fasting person to apply Kohl or eye drops or anything also to the eyes as the eyes are not a passageway tot he stomach.
- If one is overcome and vomits uninetntionally, he/she does not have to make up the day later on or person that acts of expiation. Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet said: " whoever is overcome and vomits is not to make up the day. Whoever vomits intentionally must make up the day." This hadith is related by Ahmed, Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah.
- It is permitted for the pregnant and nursing woman if they fear for their child to break their fast and make up the missed days later after Ramadan if the ycan do so.
- The Night of power is the most virtous night of the year; Allah SWT said in the Qur’an: “We revealed it on the night of power, What will tell you what the night of power? it is better than a thousand months.” Any action therin e.g. reciting the Qur’an, making remembrance of Allah SWT, etc. is better than acting for one thousand months which do not contain the night of power (Qadr). Whoever is engaged in act of worship during this night seeking Allah’s reward, will have all his previous sins forgiven. The Prophet Muhammad said “We should seek this night in the last ten days of Ramadhan especially the odd nights.” Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet said: “Whoever prays during the night of power with faith and hoping or its rewards with have all his previous sins forgiven”. (Imam Bukhari, Muslim).
Zakat Al Fitr:
This is an obligatory type of charity that must be paid by every Muslim young and old, male and female, free and slave at the end of the month of fasting (Ramadan).
The Imam al Bukhari and Muslim reported from Abdullah ibn Umar that he said: "the Prophet Muhammad enjoined the payment of one Sa’ (approx. 3 Kgs.) of dates and one Sa’ ( approach 3 Kgs.) of barley as Zakatul Fitr on every Muslim, young and old, male and female, free and slave.
The best time to give this charity is on the morning of the Eid Al Fitr before the Eid prayer and it is permitted to pay this charity before the Eid day by one or two days if it serves the best interest of the needy Muslims.

Re: Ramadhan Al Kareem - The Blessed Month
[COLOR=#006633]F. The Essentials Elements of Fasting [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#006633]Definition of Siyam (Fasting): Siyam in Arabic means “to abstain from something”. [/COLOR][COLOR=#006633]For example, Allah says about Mariam (Mary) in the Qur’an that she said [meaning]: “Verily!, I have vowed a fast to the Most Beneficent (Allah) so I shall not speak to any human this day “[Maryam 19:26]. In religion (Islam) Siyam means “abstaining from food, drink, and sexual intercourse from dawn until sunset with the sincere intention of doing so (for the sake of Allah). Therefore the pillars of fasting are: [/COLOR]
[ul][COLOR=#006633]
[li]1-**The intention: ** To sincerely fast for the sake of Allah. The intension need not be uttered. It is in reality an act of the heart which does not involve the tongue. It is a bid‘ah [innovation] to do so. The fact that one knows he is fasting the next day is “intention”. The fact of taking Suhoor is “intention. About sincerity in acts of worship Allah said in the Qur’an [in the meaning of]: “And they were ordained nothing else than to worship Allah, keeping religion pure for Him” [al-Bayyinah, Also the Messenger of Allah (S) said : Actions are judged according to the intention behind them, and for everyone is what he intended” [Bukhari and Muslim] The intention must be made before fajr and during every night of Ramadan and is valid if made in any part of the night. Hafsah reported that the Prophet (S) said: “Whoever does not determine to fast before fajr will have no fast” (that is it won’t be accepted) [an-Nasa’i, atTirmidhi, Abu Dawud, and others, Sahih].[/li][li]2-**Abstaining from the acts that break the fast: **Allah says in the Qur’an [in the meaning of]: “Eat and drink until the white thread becomes distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn. Then strictly observe the fast until nightfall.” [al-Baqara, 2:187] ‘Adiyy Ibn Hatim said “When the Ayah “Eat and drink until the white thread becomes distinct to you …” was revealed, I took a black thread and a white thread and placed them underneath my pillow. During the night I looked at them to if I could distinguish between them. In the morning I went the Messenger of Allah and mentioned that to him and he said: ‘It is the black of the night and the white of the day.’” [Bukhari and Muslim] Therefore, the believer must fast from Fajr [dawn] to Maghrib [sunset].[/COLOR][/li][/ul]
[COLOR=#006633]The following acts, when done knowingly and deliberately in the days of Ramadhan, will invalidate the fast. In addition to being considered great sins, a person committing one of these acts will have to continue fasting the rest of the day that he/she committed it, and he/she is also required to take certain measures of reconciliation as indicated below.[/COLOR]
[ul][COLOR=#006633]
[li]1- Intentional eating, drinking - Allah says [in the meaning of]: “Eat and drink until the white thread becomes distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn. Then strictly observe the fast until nightfall.” [al-Baqara, 2:187]. This applies to the one who does so consciously. However, if a person eats or drinks forgetfully or accidently or is forced to do it, the fasting is intact, the day is not to be made up and the person should continue fasting. Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (S) said:”Whoever forgets he is fasting, and eats or drinks is to complete his fast, as it is Allah who fed him and gave him something to drink.” [Bukhari, Muslim and others] Ibn Abbas reported that the Prophet (S) said:” Allah has excused for my Ummah mistakes, forgetfulness and what they are forced to do”. [Tahawee, al-Hakim and Daraqutni; Sahih]. Similar to eating and drinking is smoking [besides being prohibited in itself] and letting any substance into the stomach. However, if a person eats or drink out of forgetfulness, then he/she should continue fasting and the day fasted is valid and counted and does not need to make up the day. This is based on the hadith of Abu Huraira in Sahih al-Bukhari: The Prophet said, “If somebody eats or drinks forgetfully then he should complete his fast, for what he has eaten or drunk, has been given to him by Allah.”. Similarly if a person breaks the fast before the actual maghrib (sunset) or after fajr because of a mistake in time recognition, he is not to make up the day.[/li][li]2-**Sexual intercourse - **Just like eating and drinking Allah has forbidden sexual intercourse during the days of Ramadan; “Permitted to you, on the night of the fasts, is the approach to your wives. They are your garments and ye are their garments. Allah knows what you used to do secretly among yourselves; but He turned to you and forgave you; so now associate (i.e. have sexual intercourse) with them, and seek what Allah Hath ordained for you (i.e. offspring), and eat and drink, until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread; then complete your fast till the night appears; but do not associate with your wives while you are in seclusion (I‘tikaf) in the mosques. Those are Limits (set by) Allah. Approach not nigh thereto. Thus does Allah make clear His Signs to men: that they may learn self-restraint. [al-Baqara; 2:187] The ‘ulama’ [Scholars] differ about stimulating oneself [whether alone or with his wife or vise versa], without intercourse, to the point of ejaculation. Some of them treat it as complete intercourse, while others say that it does not invalidate the fast even though it causes a loss of its rewards.[/li][li]3-**Intentional vomiting - **Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (S) said :”Whoever is overcome and vomits is not to make up the day. Whoever vomits intentionally must make up the day.” [Ahmad, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmithi and Ibn Majah; Sahih][/li][li]4- Failing to intend (i.e. with the heart) to fast from before the dawn of the day of fast.- (Note: voluntary or nafl fasting is excepted from this requirement) Intending to stop fasting at any moment during the day of fast. These last two actions are actions of the heart and are related to the intention which has been shown as being an essential element [or pillar] of fasting. These actions void the fast even if the person does not actually eat anything. This is because the intention is one of the pillars of the fast and, if one changes his/her intention, he/she has nullified his/her fast. Except intercourse, a day invalidated by such an action cannot be atoned by even fasting the whole life. Thus, in addition to the qadha’ [making up the day], the only way to atone such an act is by true and sincere repentance and strong determination never to do it. The only action, according to most scholars, which requires that both the day be made up and the act of expiation be performed is having sexual intercourse during a day of Ramadan. Abu Hurairah reported that a man came to the Messenger of Allah and said: “I am destroyed, 0 Messenger of Allah!” The Prophet asked: “What has destroyed you?” He said, “I had intercourse with my wife during a day of Ramadan.” The Prophet asked: “Are you able to free a slave?” He said, “No”. The Prophet asked: “Is it possible for you to fast for two consecutive months?” He said, “No.” The Prophet asked: “Is it possible for you to feed sixty poor people?” He said, “No.” The Prophet said: “Then sit.” A basket of dates was brought to the Prophet and he said to the man: Give this in charity. The man said: “To someone poorer than us? There is no one in this city who is poorer than us!” The Prophet laughed until his molar teeth could be seen and said: “Go and feed your family with it.” [Bukhari, Muslim and others] Most scholars say that both men and women have to perform the acts of expiation (Kaffarah) if they intentionally have intercourse during a day of Ramadan on which they had intended to fast.[/li][li]5- **Injections containing nourishment **- Though this type of action is committed intentionally and thus falls under intentional eating and drinking, it is not considered as a sin if given to a sick person in need of it. All what is needed is to make up the day later. These injections are meant to give nourishment intravenously so that it reaches the intestines, with the intention of nourishing the sick person. Also if the injection reaches the blood-stream then it likewise breaks the fast since it is being used in place of food and drink. Similar is the use of drips containing glucose and saline solutions, and inhalers used by people sick of asthma. May Allah relieve all sick believers.[/COLOR][/li][/ul]
[ul][COLOR=#006633]
[li]1-Menstruation[/li][li]**2-Post-childbirth bleeding, **even if such bleeding begins just before the sunset, the fast of that day is rendered invalid. A woman in this case will have to fast a day later (qadha’) for every day (or part of day) that she missed. If a menstruating woman ceases bleeding before dawn, then she performs Ghusl (purifying shower) and intends to fast the next day. However, if blood flow ceases after Fajr then she performs ghusl, and starts praying as usual and the day has to made up after Ramadan. She may eat and drink during that day as it is an invalid day as Shaikh Ibn Othaymin observed. The Prophet (S) said: “Is it not that when she [the woman] menstruates, she does not pray nor fast?” We said: Yes indeed. He said: “That is the deficiency in her Deen [religion]. In another narration: “She remains not praying at night and refraining from fasting in Ramadan, that is the deficiency in her Deen”.[Muslim] The order to make up for the days of menstruation is reported in the lesson ‘Aishah gave to Mu‘aathah who came and asked her “Why is it that the menstruating woman has to make up her fasts but not the prayers?” ‘Aisha said: “Are you a Harooree() woman?” I (Mu‘aathah) said: “I am not a Harooree woman, but I wish to ask”. ‘Aisha said: “That used to come upon us and so we were ordered to make up the fasts and were never ordered to make up the prayers” [Bukhari and Muslim][/COLOR][/li][/ul]
[COLOR=#006633]
()Haroorees are the people of Haroora near Koofa [Iraq]. They had the belief of Khawarij who fought Ali radhiya Allahu ‘anh. They make it obligatory on the woman to make up her prayers if she menstruates. ‘Aisha feared that Mu‘aathah was among them. [/COLOR]

Re: Ramadhan Al Kareem - The Blessed Month
Some Hadith from Sahih Al Bukari
Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying regarding Ramadan, "Whoever prayed at night in it (the month of Ramadan) out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven." (226)
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever prayed at night the whole month of Ramadan out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven." Ibn Shihab (a sub-narrator) said, "Allah's Apostle died and the people continued observing that (i.e. Nawafil offered individually, not in congregation), and it remained as it was during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr and in the early days of 'Umar's Caliphate." 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Abdul Qari said, "I went out in the company of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab one night in Ramadan to the mosque and found the people praying in different groups. A man praying alone or a man praying with a little group behind him. So, 'Umar said, 'In my opinion I would better collect these (people) under the leadership of one Qari (Reciter) (i.e. let them pray in congregation!)'. So, he made up his mind to congregate them behind Ubai bin Ka'b. Then on another night I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that, 'Umar remarked, 'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.' He meant the prayer in the last part of the night. (In those days) people used to pray in the early part of the night." (227)
Narrated 'Urwa: That he was informed by 'Aisha, "Allah's Apostle went out in the middle of the night and prayed in the mosque and some men prayed behind him. In the morning, the people spoke about it and then a large number of them gathered and prayed behind him (on the second night). In the next morning the people again talked about it and on the third night the mosque was full with a large number of people. Allah's Apostle came out and the people prayed behind him. On the fourth night the Mosque was overwhelmed with people and could not accommodate them, but the Prophet came out (only) for the morning prayer. When the morning prayer was finished he recited Tashah-hud and (addressing the people) said, "Amma ba'du, your presence was not hidden from me but I was afraid lest the night prayer (Qiyam) should be enjoined on you and you might not be able to carry it on." So, Allah's Apostle died and the situation remained like that (i.e. people prayed individually). " (229)
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Whoever fasted the month of Ramadan out of sincere Faith (i.e. belief) and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his past sins will be forgiven, and whoever stood for the prayers in the night of Qadr out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven ." (231)
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Allah's Apostle used to practice Itikaf (in the mosque) in the middle third of Ramadan and after passing the twenty nights he used to go back to his house on the 21st, and the people who were in Itikaf with him also used to go back to their houses. Once in Ramadan, in which he practiced Itikaf, he established the night prayers at the night in which he used to return home, and then he addressed the people and ordered them whatever Allah wished him to order and said, "I used to practice Itikaf for these ten days (i.e. the middle 113rd but now I intend to stay in Itikaf for the last ten days (of the month); so whoever was in Itikaf with me should stay at his place of seclusion. I have verily been shown (the date of) this Night (of Qadr) but I have forgotten it. So search for it in the odd nights of the last ten days (of this month). I also saw myself (in the dream) prostrating in mud and water." On the night of the 21st, the sky was covered with clouds and it rained, and the rain-water started leaking through the roof of the mosque at the praying place of the Prophet . I saw with my own eyes the Prophet at the completion of the morning prayer leaving with his face covered with mud and water. (235)
Narrated Aisha: With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet used to tighten his waist belt (i.e. work hard) and used to pray all the night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers. (241)
