Abu Taymiyyah – Fiqh Of Fasting in Hanbali Part 1

Abu Taymiyyah
AI: Summary ©
The speakers discuss the importance of fasting, staying away from certain aspects of life, and praying. They stress the importance of making the right intention, praying, and fasting, as it is crucial for actions and personal growth. The safety of fasting after fasting is discussed, and the decision to fast is based on the intentions of the person rather than the night before. The importance of making the right intention is emphasized, and the missed fasting is due to the fact that it stops at the beginning of the month.

So inshallah, I will read out,

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

the first few lines of poetry that we're

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06

going to be studying inshallah,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

and then the rest, when we reach that

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

stage, I'll be mentioning as well insha Allahu

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

Ta'ala. So the poet,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:14

he says,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

So the first thing that

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

the poet or the author begins to speak

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

about is,

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

What the tareef,

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

the definition of a song is.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

We know that a song

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

has a linguistic meaning, and it also has

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

a technical meaning.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

The linguistic meaning is what? Alimsaku,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

to withhold from something.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

If I say to you do a song

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

from Instagram, it means that you need to

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

withhold from Instagram. If I say do a

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

song from Facebook, or Snapchat, WhatsApp,

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13

or to do the song from speaking, or

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

seeing your girlfriend, all of this means what?

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

To withhold from something.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

Also the linguistic

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

meaning of song is found in the Quran.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

When Jibreel alaihis salatu wasalam

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

came to Maryam alaihis salatu wasalam, what did

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

she say?

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

I seek refuge in Allah

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

from yourself if you are somebody who has

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

a taqwa. Later on when he explained that

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

he's a messenger, he is a prophet.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

Sorry, not prophet. He has been sent to

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

her in order to give her glad tidings.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

What did he say to her?

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

Because obviously now she has a child, right,

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

and she was never touched. She wasn't somebody

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

who used to go and sleep around. People

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

are going to be asking her, where did

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

you get this child from?

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

Jibreel said

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04

to her, tell the people if they ask

00:02:04 --> 00:02:04

you,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

I have made a vow to Allah subhanahu

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

wa ta'ala that I am going to do

00:02:12 --> 00:02:12

a song.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

What was the song?

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

I am not going to be speaking to

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

anybody.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

So this is the linguistic

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

meaning of what song means.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

The technical meaning is to withhold

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

from something that inshallah

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

I will elaborate on. The scholars when they

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

define the technical meaning they say is

00:02:39 --> 00:02:39

is,

00:02:43 --> 00:02:44

And all these lines that I'm go I

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

previously mentioned, it covers this technical

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

meaning of what soul means.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

And that which we need to withhold from

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

in the technical meaning of 2 types,

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

in the month of Ramadan specifically.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

The first one is

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

to withhold from the things that is going

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

to invalidate

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

our fast.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

And we know these things, they're very very

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

well known like

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

food and drink, and also what sexual *

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

as it came in the hadith when Allah

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

is the wajal. This is a hadith al

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

Husi by the way. Hadith al Husi is

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

that which the message of Allah is narrated,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

Where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is giving us

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

a message.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

And the message of Allah, he himself, he

00:03:28 --> 00:03:28

said,

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

And it is different from the Quran

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

because the hadith of course you can't read

00:03:36 --> 00:03:36

your salah,

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

and you don't get the reward that you

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

would get for reciting the book of Allah.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

For every letter we get reward, right? We

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

recite the book of Allah

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

But the hadith al Pulsi, you don't get

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

the same reward.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

So the messenger

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

says, He leaves of his food, his drink,

00:03:58 --> 00:04:02

and also his his desires for my sake.

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05

So these are from the 3 most important,

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

okay, and the well known

00:04:08 --> 00:04:08

Muftirat.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

The things that invalidate a person's fast. InshaAllah,

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

when we reach the next chapter,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

we will be mentioning

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

some of the things that invalidate someone's fast.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

And these 3 are not the only thing.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

These 3 things are not the only things.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

Then you have the other

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

type that does not invalidate your fast, but

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

it reduces the reward that you get in

00:04:29 --> 00:04:30

your fast.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:33

Because we know that when Muhammad fast, and

00:04:33 --> 00:04:37

when Jannah or Ibrahim fast, their reward is

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

not equal.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

Some will get more than others.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

We hope inshallah, everybody gets the maximum reward,

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

but in essence, not everybody might get the

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

same reward.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

Are you with me my brothers and my

00:04:50 --> 00:04:51

sisters? The messenger

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

said, Perhaps one might fast, and he gets

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

nothing out of the fasting except what? Zest

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

and hunger.

00:05:01 --> 00:05:04

Imagine coming on Yomul Qiyamah, and the Ramadan

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

of 2019, you had absolutely zealous.

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

Because of you not being able to control

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

your tongue, not being able to control your

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

eyes, some of the things that you look

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14

at on social media, and also not controlling

00:05:14 --> 00:05:14

your ears.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

And this is the real fast that is

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

going to help us attain the main objective

00:05:19 --> 00:05:19

of fasting.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

That's what Allah mentioned, right?

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

He prescribed upon us,

00:05:30 --> 00:05:31

The hikmah behind you fasting is that you

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

attain a tafuah.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:34

Because the tafuah that you attain is going

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

to

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

get your actions that you do accepted.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:38

Umrah

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

He said, if I knew that once sijda

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

was accepted, I would have preferred to pass

00:05:45 --> 00:05:45

away.

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

So he was asked why? He said Allah

00:05:49 --> 00:05:49

he says,

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

Allah

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

only accepts

00:06:04 --> 00:06:06

take you towards a direction. And this is

00:06:06 --> 00:06:09

exactly what Jabir ibn Abdullah radiAllahu anhu said,

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

When you fast, then make sure you fast

00:06:20 --> 00:06:20

from what?

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

Make sure your eyes fast. Make sure your

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

ears fast and make sure also your tongue

00:06:26 --> 00:06:26

fast.

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

That's what's going to inshallah,

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

give us the reward that is going to

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

take us to a jannah.

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

So for a person now to just withhold

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

from what?

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

Food and drink, and then he can't control

00:06:39 --> 00:06:39

his mouth.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

The messenger salallahu alayhi wa samaudri say,

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

Whoever doesn't stay away from all Azur,

00:06:52 --> 00:06:53

evil,

00:06:54 --> 00:06:55

false, idle speech,

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

and also acting upon that, and the ignorance

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

that a person might do and say,

00:07:00 --> 00:07:03

then Allah is not in need of him

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

what? Leaving off his food and his drink.

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08

So we have the technical meaning that which

00:07:08 --> 00:07:09

is split into 2 categories.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

That which we need to withhold from, that

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

is going to what?

00:07:14 --> 00:07:14

Invalidate

00:07:15 --> 00:07:16

our fast if we don't. And then you

00:07:16 --> 00:07:19

have that which is going to reduce the

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

reward that we get.

00:07:22 --> 00:07:23

So here he said,

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

the song is to withhold

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

that which is now going to invalidate

00:07:31 --> 00:07:32

our fast.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:36

For a specific time.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:39

For a specific time.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

So when you look at the taref, the

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

definition of somm, as I mentioned earlier,

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

To stay away from something specifically.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

And also at a specific time. And that

00:07:54 --> 00:07:55

is what?

00:07:55 --> 00:07:57

From sunrise all the way to

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

sunset. Okay? From sunrise all the way to

00:08:01 --> 00:08:02

sunset.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

Biniyatin Maqsusa, and I'm going to explain this

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

inshallahu ta'ala. Then he goes on to say,

00:08:16 --> 00:08:17

With an intention

00:08:17 --> 00:08:20

that is made inside the month of Ramadan.

00:08:23 --> 00:08:24

This

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26

specific intention that you make, my brothers and

00:08:26 --> 00:08:27

my sisters, is vital.

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

Because if you don't make that intention, inshallah,

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

I'm going to elaborate whether one can do

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

it at the beginning of the month or

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

he has to do it on every single

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

night. But that that which is more important

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

than that is, one making the right intention.

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

We know that there is a principle

00:08:44 --> 00:08:45

in our religion.

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47

It is not

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

Even the

00:09:26 --> 00:09:27

He says that the intention

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

is a condition for every action that you

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

do. And based on that intention,

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

your action

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

might either be accepted or it might become

00:09:37 --> 00:09:37

corrupt.

00:09:39 --> 00:09:40

This comes in very very handy. This is

00:09:40 --> 00:09:44

why they say, this principle entered just about

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

in every single Ibadah. Where did this principle

00:09:46 --> 00:09:47

get taken from?

00:09:48 --> 00:09:49

Who can tell me?

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

The hadith of the missus

00:09:58 --> 00:10:01

No action is accepted from the individual

00:10:01 --> 00:10:04

except if it's done with the correct intention.

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

So if a person now is fasting in

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08

the month of Ramadan because he wants to

00:10:08 --> 00:10:09

lose weight,

00:10:10 --> 00:10:12

Is this Ramadan been accepted? The answer is

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

no. You're not doing for the purpose of

00:10:14 --> 00:10:14

what?

00:10:14 --> 00:10:17

Getting closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Recently

00:10:17 --> 00:10:19

a sister messaged me saying

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

that the shaitan keeps playing games with her,

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

or the shaitan keeps giving her the thoughts

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

that you need to fast in order to

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

be a certain way,

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

or your body needs to be a certain,

00:10:33 --> 00:10:33

a shape.

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

And if a person doesn't constantly fight with

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

himself, it could

00:10:39 --> 00:10:40

lead to his

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

fasting being invalid.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

So a person always needs to be what?

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46

Doing jihad with himself, striving against himself.

00:10:47 --> 00:10:48

And through that inshallah,

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

your intention will not be affected.

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

But if you let now the shaitan get

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

the better of you, sometimes you're praying, right?

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

Your mom walks in, and you get that

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

feeling of wanting to maybe impress your mother.

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

If you don't fight that off and the

00:11:03 --> 00:11:05

shaitan gets the better of you, that salah

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08

is incorrect, is invalid. You will need to

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

bring that salah again. Are you with me,

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

my brothers? But if you fight him off,

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

and the shaitan doesn't get the better of

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

you, even though he's there interfering

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

and disturbing your salah.

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

Your salah inshaAllah is going to be perfectly

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

fine. And this is the jihad Allah subhanahu

00:11:24 --> 00:11:24

wa'ala told us

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

Those who strive in our way, we're going

00:11:30 --> 00:11:31

to guide them to that which is correct.

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

A person striving, doing jihad with himself,

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

from staying away from the things he shouldn't

00:11:36 --> 00:11:36

be

00:11:36 --> 00:11:37

doing.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:38

And

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

it's a means of a person

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

overcoming some of these challenges.

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45

So here, this is very very important.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

It has to be with the intention of

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

gaining closeness to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And

00:11:54 --> 00:11:56

that also you are doing the

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

obligatory fast of the month of Ramadan.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:02

Because we know that the fasting is what?

00:12:02 --> 00:12:05

Of different types. Some are some are what?

00:12:05 --> 00:12:05

Sunnah.

00:12:06 --> 00:12:07

That which is

00:12:08 --> 00:12:09

is the month of Ramadan.

00:12:10 --> 00:12:12

And also the one that a person makes

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

up after the month of Ramadan, if he

00:12:14 --> 00:12:15

was ill for example,

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

or he was traveling for example, or a

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

woman now was on her menses,

00:12:20 --> 00:12:21

and then she has to make that up

00:12:21 --> 00:12:22

later on.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:24

Also the

00:12:26 --> 00:12:29

the vow that a person makes upon himself.

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31

It says that if Allah gives

00:12:32 --> 00:12:33

me a child, and I'm going to fast

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

insha'a Allah for 3 days.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

That now

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

has become man of Torah upon himself. Are

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

you with me, my brothers and my sisters?

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

And then you also have the voluntary fast.

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

So a person now, okay,

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

he needs to differentiate upon what exactly he's

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

fasting for. Is he doing the obligatory fast?

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52

Is he doing the

00:12:53 --> 00:12:54

the voluntary fast?

00:12:59 --> 00:13:02

By the way, here it says because,

00:13:02 --> 00:13:05

in order for the the line approach you

00:13:05 --> 00:13:05

to be,

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

to be upright. This is something that you're

00:13:08 --> 00:13:09

going to learn in Almir Uru if you

00:13:09 --> 00:13:12

ever embark upon that journey of learning Arabic

00:13:12 --> 00:13:15

poetry. But the correct way of saying Ramadan

00:13:15 --> 00:13:15

is what?

00:13:16 --> 00:13:16

Ramadan.

00:13:17 --> 00:13:18

Bahiyya says Ramadan.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

The

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

next issue that inshallah wa ta'ala we're going

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

to be discussing here he says,

00:13:27 --> 00:13:28

So as they discussed,

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

does the intention

00:13:30 --> 00:13:31

need to be made

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

on every single night of the month of

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36

Ramadan, or is it enough

00:13:37 --> 00:13:39

for me to make the intention

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

at the beginning of the Ramadan, and thus

00:13:41 --> 00:13:42

inshallah going to be sufficient for the rest

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

of Ramadan?

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

Here if you look closely, it says, Fir

00:13:47 --> 00:13:48

Ramban.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

Inside the month of Ramadan. And we know

00:13:51 --> 00:13:53

in the Arabic language, the fee

00:13:55 --> 00:13:56

is If I say for example,

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

That's a very simple term, or a couple

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

of words that have been put together to

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

say that Muhammad is inside the house.

00:14:07 --> 00:14:10

From the meanings that he has in Arabic

00:14:10 --> 00:14:11

language is if

00:14:12 --> 00:14:14

you look closely, where this word came from

00:14:14 --> 00:14:15

is adhar,

00:14:16 --> 00:14:17

which basically means an envelope.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

Okay? So sometimes from the meanings

00:14:21 --> 00:14:24

of in the Quran, it will mean what?

00:14:24 --> 00:14:25

Inside of something.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

So here, when you look at it closely,

00:14:30 --> 00:14:31

even in the Marik says,

00:14:41 --> 00:14:43

in Arabic grammar. So from its meanings

00:14:44 --> 00:14:47

is, okay, the fee is what? Inside. So

00:14:47 --> 00:14:48

here in the middle of Imam Muhammad

00:14:50 --> 00:14:51

one needs to make the intention

00:14:52 --> 00:14:53

for every single night in the month of

00:14:53 --> 00:14:54

Ramadan.

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

That's a bit difficult though. Right?

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

Where did he get this from?

00:14:59 --> 00:15:00

They took it from the hadith

00:15:01 --> 00:15:02

of Ummi

00:15:03 --> 00:15:04

or the hadith of Hafsata

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

said that the messenger of Allah said,

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

whoever

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

does not make the intention

00:15:26 --> 00:15:27

of fasting

00:15:27 --> 00:15:30

the night before, that there's no for a

00:15:30 --> 00:15:30

person.

00:15:39 --> 00:15:41

There is no for the person who doesn't

00:15:41 --> 00:15:43

make the intention the night before.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

So this is exactly where he took it

00:15:45 --> 00:15:48

from. And this is the official position of

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

the mad hub of Imam Ahmed Rahimahullah

00:15:50 --> 00:15:51

ta'ala.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

That the intention needs to be made,

00:15:55 --> 00:15:58

okay, for every single night that he's going

00:15:58 --> 00:16:00

to be fasting following day.

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

But the scholars you find, they discuss this,

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

they debated this. Some of them they mentioned

00:16:06 --> 00:16:08

that if you do it, okay, at the

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

beginning of the month, that should suffice you

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

for the rest of the month that you're

00:16:11 --> 00:16:13

going to be fasting in the month of

00:16:13 --> 00:16:16

Ramadan. But is it safer? The answer is

00:16:16 --> 00:16:18

yes. Why? Because we've had this hadith.

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25

Even though the skills are different, whether it

00:16:25 --> 00:16:25

is

00:16:26 --> 00:16:27

or whether it is.

00:16:28 --> 00:16:29

What does mean?

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

Means it stops at the.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

Jameel, what does mean?

00:16:45 --> 00:16:45

It says,

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

that which has been ascribed back to a

00:16:52 --> 00:16:54

companion, whether it is a action or whether

00:16:54 --> 00:16:56

it is a statement, then we say that

00:16:56 --> 00:16:57

this narration

00:17:00 --> 00:17:01

is But he also says,

00:17:07 --> 00:17:09

Any action or any statement that has been

00:17:09 --> 00:17:11

ascribed back to? The Messenger sallallahu alaihiwe say

00:17:11 --> 00:17:15

this narration is what? Alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi

00:17:15 --> 00:17:16

wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu

00:17:16 --> 00:17:18

alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa

00:17:18 --> 00:17:20

sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu al

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

Or is this actually a statement of the

00:17:23 --> 00:17:25

messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam?

00:17:26 --> 00:17:27

This is why Imam al Tirmidhi and also

00:17:27 --> 00:17:28

Imam al Nasai

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31

who are from the 6 books of hadith,

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

right? We always hear, Ravaha al Nasai, narrated

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

by Nisai, narrated by Muhammad They

00:17:37 --> 00:17:38

led towards

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

the position of this narration being

00:17:43 --> 00:17:44

it is safer.

00:17:45 --> 00:17:45

Okay?

00:17:46 --> 00:17:48

That a person makes the intention every night.

00:17:49 --> 00:17:50

You know?

00:17:51 --> 00:17:52

Anyways, you find that the issue is quite

00:17:52 --> 00:17:55

broad. And the issue of the is something

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

that is Sahil, something that is, you know,

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

we can be easy going with.

00:18:01 --> 00:18:01

With

00:18:02 --> 00:18:03

regards to now,

00:18:07 --> 00:18:08

a voluntary type of fasting.

00:18:09 --> 00:18:11

Do I need to make the intention

00:18:13 --> 00:18:14

the night before?

00:18:14 --> 00:18:17

If I want to fast a voluntary fast.

00:18:19 --> 00:18:20

The answer is no.

00:18:21 --> 00:18:24

We're speaking about the obligatory fast. Whether it's

00:18:24 --> 00:18:24

a kafara,

00:18:25 --> 00:18:27

an expiation that a person

00:18:27 --> 00:18:30

is fasting for, okay, because he end up

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

swearing by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and then

00:18:32 --> 00:18:33

he didn't,

00:18:34 --> 00:18:34

okay,

00:18:35 --> 00:18:36

fulfill that which is so awful.

00:18:37 --> 00:18:39

We know that that time of fasting also

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40

becomes wide upon that individual.

00:18:41 --> 00:18:42

And likewise, so the

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

fasting that a person, he does because he

00:18:45 --> 00:18:47

made a vow, and likewise the fasting that

00:18:47 --> 00:18:49

a person does in order to make up

00:18:49 --> 00:18:50

that which he missed from the month of

00:18:50 --> 00:18:50

Ramadan,

00:18:51 --> 00:18:52

he must make

00:18:53 --> 00:18:54

and the intention the night before.

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

He must make the intention the night before.

00:18:59 --> 00:19:00

But what about now when it comes to

00:19:00 --> 00:19:01

the voluntary fast?

00:19:02 --> 00:19:04

If an individual now, he woke up

00:19:05 --> 00:19:06

at 12 o'clock.

00:19:07 --> 00:19:09

K? And he decided to fast,

00:19:09 --> 00:19:11

or even maybe at 3 o'clock, he missed

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

and he decided to fast. Can he fast

00:19:14 --> 00:19:14

on a day?

00:19:15 --> 00:19:16

The answer is yes.

00:19:17 --> 00:19:19

The answer is yes. And this is exactly

00:19:20 --> 00:19:21

what Aisha

00:19:22 --> 00:19:23

mentioned about the messenger

00:19:24 --> 00:19:25

She said,

00:19:29 --> 00:19:31

Once upon a day, the messenger

00:19:31 --> 00:19:33

was telling me he entered upon us.

00:19:35 --> 00:19:36

He asked, is there anything in the house

00:19:36 --> 00:19:37

that I can eat?

00:19:38 --> 00:19:40

We said no. He said,

00:19:43 --> 00:19:44

If that's the case, then I'm going to

00:19:44 --> 00:19:45

fast that day, inshallah.

00:19:49 --> 00:19:50

Then he came another day.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

We have been gifted with a type of

00:19:56 --> 00:19:57

food called hayes,

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

which is a very humble type of food

00:19:59 --> 00:20:01

that the best used to eat.

00:20:03 --> 00:20:06

He said, show me, for indeed I started

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

my day from the morning

00:20:08 --> 00:20:09

while I was fasting.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

And this hadith is in what? Sahih Muslim.

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

So point of the matter is here, the

00:20:14 --> 00:20:17

messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam he fasted even though

00:20:17 --> 00:20:19

he didn't make the intention in the night.

00:20:20 --> 00:20:21

But then the scholars they discussed.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:23

Okay?

00:20:24 --> 00:20:27

Does he have to stop fasting before Zawal,

00:20:27 --> 00:20:28

meaning before Duhr?

00:20:29 --> 00:20:31

Okay. Or can he start fasting from after

00:20:31 --> 00:20:31

Duhr?

00:20:32 --> 00:20:34

K. First point is,

00:20:34 --> 00:20:36

as long as he did not eat, or

00:20:36 --> 00:20:39

drink or do something that is going to

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

invalidate his fast, then he can fast on

00:20:40 --> 00:20:41

that day.

00:20:43 --> 00:20:44

Are you with me guys? So he woke

00:20:44 --> 00:20:46

up, he didn't have sexual * from Fajr.

00:20:47 --> 00:20:48

Waleh,

00:20:48 --> 00:20:50

or he didn't eat or drink anything. And

00:20:50 --> 00:20:51

he didn't also

00:20:52 --> 00:20:54

fall into the other things that invalidate one's

00:20:54 --> 00:20:55

fast.

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

If he decides to fast,

00:20:59 --> 00:20:59

but

00:21:00 --> 00:21:02

does it have to be from before Zawal,

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

before Zawal, or after Zawal? The method of

00:21:04 --> 00:21:05

Imam Ahmad

00:21:05 --> 00:21:07

is that it can be

00:21:07 --> 00:21:09

from any time of the day.

00:21:11 --> 00:21:12

Are you with me, guys? It can be

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

from any time of the day. And this

00:21:14 --> 00:21:16

was the position of some of the companions,

00:21:16 --> 00:21:16

like

00:21:18 --> 00:21:18

and also

00:21:20 --> 00:21:21

And also

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29

said, Whoever wants to fast

00:21:30 --> 00:21:31

after zawal,

00:21:31 --> 00:21:33

then it's okay for him to fast.

00:21:33 --> 00:21:35

Anos ibn Abbas

00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

said to myself,

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42

Sometimes I used to wake up in the

00:21:42 --> 00:21:43

morning and I don't want any, or I

00:21:43 --> 00:21:45

don't want to be fasting on that day,

00:21:45 --> 00:21:46

and then I would fast.

00:21:47 --> 00:21:48

Okay.

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

So as long as the person doesn't eat

00:21:51 --> 00:21:52

or drink,

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

and he doesn't do some of the things

00:21:55 --> 00:21:56

that he's going to invalidate

00:21:57 --> 00:21:58

his fast, then he can fast on that

00:21:58 --> 00:22:01

day. And this is for a voluntary type

00:22:01 --> 00:22:01

of fasting.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:05

K? This is it for a voluntary type

00:22:05 --> 00:22:06

of fasting.
