In continuation from our lesson last week, when

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

the last thing that we discussed was

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

who the

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

the fasting is compulsory

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

on. And I mentioned a line of poetry

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

Okay. The siyam is wajib upon every single

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

qadr, somebody who has the ability.

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

So the person who doesn't have the ability

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

to fast,

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

the fasting is not wajah upon that individual.

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

And we gave a couple of scenarios, like

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

an individual who is who is

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

what's it called? Maternally ill?

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

Somebody who is maternally ill? Somebody who does

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

not expect to recover? Terminally.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:03

Terminally, not maternally. Maternally is a paternal. Terminally.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

Yeah. That was Nabil's fault.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

Somebody

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

who is internally Terminally. Maternal is telling me

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

about

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

that.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

Old.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

Somebody who's terminally old, okay, and he does

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

not expect to recover from

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

the sickness that he is suffering from. Another

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

thing that the scholars they mentioned with regards

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

to his issues, someone who might not necessarily

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

have the capability to fast is a woman

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

who is pregnant.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

Okay? And also a woman

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

who is breastfeeding her child. Because you have

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

a hadith of the Musa sallallahu alaihi wa

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

sallam when he said, the hadith of Anas,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

where the Musa salaati

00:01:41 --> 00:01:41

says,

00:01:47 --> 00:01:47

Okay?

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

The Messenger

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

has cut half the prayer for the person

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

who is fasting, and we know that he's

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

allowed to shorten. Right? If he's praying,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

he's allowed to pray 2. Right? And likewise,

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

fasting. He's also able to combine.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

Then the messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam mentioned

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

that the Musa'afir also he has been pardoned

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

with regards to

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

fasting.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18

Then that which was followed up after that

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

was,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

The woman who is pregnant, and also the

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

woman who is breastfeeding.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

But the scholars they say,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

Okay? If the woman

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

who is who is pregnant

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

and also is breastfeeding, she fears for herself.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

She fears for herself, meaning she fears for

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

her health,

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

okay, than that which is required of hers

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

to make up these days.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

Not every individual who is pregnant, like a

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

woman, she's what? 2 weeks pregnant.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

And she doesn't fear for health,

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

she doesn't have a sickness.

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

Is this woman allowed to break her fast?

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

The answer is no. Only when she now

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

fears for herself, she fears for

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

health, they say it's okay for her to

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

make up that day.

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

Okay?

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

If now they fear for their child,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

they fear for their child.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

Like a woman now, that's breastfeeding,

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

She fears

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

that if she breastfeeds,

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

the milk inside of her, inside of her

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

breast is going to reduce.

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

And the walad hid this child,

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

He is going to become harmed by this.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

Okay? If they now fear for themselves, we

00:03:43 --> 00:03:43

said what?

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

They only have to make her up. But

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

if they fear for the child,

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

whether this woman is pregnant or whether she

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54

is breastfeeding this child, then she also has

00:03:54 --> 00:03:54

to

00:03:55 --> 00:03:56

pay She

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

will also need to pay A

00:03:59 --> 00:03:59

woman

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

that was pregnant came to Ibn Abbas

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

And he said to her,

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

You have the same position

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

as the one

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

who doesn't have the capability

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

to

00:04:19 --> 00:04:20

fast.

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

That which is upon you also is to

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

pay fidya. And this is where this whole

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

issue came about of paying Fidya. N Abbas

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu and also other companions, they

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

held this view.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

And this is the official position of the

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

madhab of Imam

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

Ahmad Okay?

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

The other issue that we're going to discuss

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

insha Allahu Ta'ala, I already spoke about the

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

signs of right? Of puberty.

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

We discussed this last week.

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

Okay? And And somebody who also isn't religiously

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

obliged is somebody who is

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

somebody who doesn't have sanity.

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

A

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

somebody who doesn't have sanity. Do we say

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

to the individual, You need to go and

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

fast? The answer is no. Because the Messenger

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

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told us in hadith,

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

The pen has been raised from 3 different

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

people.

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

The one who's sleeping until he

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

wakes up. The child until he reaches the

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

age of puberty.

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

And also the majloon.

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

Somebody

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

who doesn't have sanity,

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

until he what? Gained sanity again.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

That's very very important. Sometimes you find a

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

parent saying, Oh, just let him fast. No.

00:05:41 --> 00:05:42

You shouldn't let him fast.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

The pen has been raised, he doesn't get

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

reward for it. As for the child,

00:05:47 --> 00:05:48

okay, the child

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

who hasn't reached the age of puberty, if

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54

he decides to fast, and the parents encourage

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

him to go and fast, he will get

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

the reward for it.

00:05:57 --> 00:05:58

But is there a must upon him? The

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

answer is no. So there's a difference now

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

between the and also the child who hasn't

00:06:02 --> 00:06:05

reached the age of puberty.

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

So then the poet says,

00:06:07 --> 00:06:08

somebody who's resident.

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

This is also a very deep issue now.

00:06:13 --> 00:06:14

There's a lot of things that people tend

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

to get mixed up with regards to

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

the one who is resident, or the one

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

who goes out and he travels.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

And then, inshaAllah,

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23

we want to touch on a couple of

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

things.

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

With regards to a musafir,

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

somebody who's traveling,

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

is the fasting wajib on that individual,

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

It has been unanimously agreed that this individual

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

can break his fast. Cause Allah Azzawajal, what

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

does He say?

00:06:44 --> 00:06:47

Whoever is sick, or a traveler, this individually

00:06:47 --> 00:06:48

can fast

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51

on another day. Also, you have the hadith

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

of Anas al Marika radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03

Anasul

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

from amongst us when we was traveling with

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

the Messenger SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, there was from

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

those

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

who were fasting, and there were from those

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

who went fasting.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

The person who wasn't fasting didn't criticize the

00:07:20 --> 00:07:21

person who was fasting.

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

And likewise, the other way around.

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

So this is now happening in front of

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

the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

So this is

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

a you know that the statement

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

of the messenger is

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37

a sunnah. Right? And also the action of

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

the messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Salam is a

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43

sunnah. There's something else called the acknowledge sunnah.

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

Something happens in front of the messenger Sallallahu

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

Alaihi Wasallam and he acknowledges it.

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51

And he doesn't disapprove or criticize that action

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

that is being done in front of him.

00:08:03 --> 00:08:04

That which happened in front of the messengers

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

of Allah Alaihi Wasallam, whether it's an action,

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

or whether this is a statement, and the

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

Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam comes to know about

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

it.

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14

This is like an action of the Messenger

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

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

Are you with me my brothers and my

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

sisters?

00:08:19 --> 00:08:20

And also,

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

another issue that tends to arise is, what

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

what if a companion

00:08:25 --> 00:08:26

did or said something,

00:08:27 --> 00:08:28

okay,

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

in the absence of the messenger sallallahu alaihi

00:08:30 --> 00:08:31

wa sallam? It's also.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:33

I like to go into these kind of

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

things. It's very very important. So you know

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

how to deal with a lot of these

00:08:37 --> 00:08:38

things that happened in the time of Misallahu

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

alaihi wa sallam. You know also how to

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

reconcile

00:08:41 --> 00:08:42

between the different evidence,

00:08:43 --> 00:08:46

the different actions as well. What if a

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

companion done something,

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

but he didn't reach the Musa Salaam?

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

Can we say this is a hujja?

00:08:54 --> 00:08:55

Olubigya said, No.

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00

Nabi is retracting from a statement.

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

So now, a companion does something. For example

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

now, Jabin Abdallah radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu he said,

00:09:14 --> 00:09:15

We used to

00:09:16 --> 00:09:17

practice the act of al Azl.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:19

Which basically means

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

to

00:09:21 --> 00:09:22

retrieve

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

at the time of

00:09:24 --> 00:09:25

*.

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

And the Qur'an was coming down.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:36

He said, If there was something that was

00:09:36 --> 00:09:39

going to prohibit us from doing this act,

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

the Quran would have come down.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44

So if something now happens in the absence

00:09:44 --> 00:09:45

of the Messenger

00:09:45 --> 00:09:46

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49

and he doesn't know about it, If Allah

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala doesn't want this act to

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

carry on taking place, an eye is going

00:09:53 --> 00:09:54

to come down.

00:09:55 --> 00:09:56

This is what happened. He said,

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

The statement of some of the companions, We

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

used to do so and so.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

And we weren't prohibited while the Qur'an was

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

coming down.

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

This hadith that I just mentioned of Jablam

00:10:13 --> 00:10:14

And then he

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

says,

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

So the Quran will come down very very

00:10:25 --> 00:10:26

quickly

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

prohibiting them of the action. Are you with

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

me guys?

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

So whether this happens

00:10:32 --> 00:10:33

in front of the messenger of Allah

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

It being a statement, something being said,

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

or an action. He came to know about

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

it, this is great. We say this is

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

a sunnah taqiriya.

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

And likewise, if something now happens

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

in the absence of the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi

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

Wasallam,

00:10:48 --> 00:10:49

if the Messenger didn't come to know about

00:10:49 --> 00:10:50

it, and Allah

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

didn't want this issue to continue, an eye

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55

is going to come down. This is exactly

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57

what happened in these 9 of the prophets

00:10:57 --> 00:10:58

referring to.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:00

So it happened the Messenger

00:11:01 --> 00:11:02

presence,

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

that they were fasting, and they were also

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

breaking the fast. And the Messenger did not

00:11:07 --> 00:11:07

disapprove.

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

And it's not permissible aslim for the messenger

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

to see something wrong taking place in front

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

of him, and then he's quiet about it.

00:11:16 --> 00:11:17

Because there's another principle that you will learn.

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

It is not permissible for the messenger of

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23

Allah to delay

00:11:24 --> 00:11:27

clarifying something that they need to know about

00:11:27 --> 00:11:29

at the time of its need. And he

00:11:29 --> 00:11:30

himself, he said what?

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

Whoever sees an evil and change with his

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

hand. So if he was wrong, he would

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

have what? Disapproved of it. So we have

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

the unanimous agreement and also we have

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

this being established through the sunnah of the

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam that it is permissible.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

It is permissible.

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

Even if he's not going through any difficulty,

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

for him now to break his fast, by

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

unanimous agreement.

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

When a person now travels, okay,

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

and he also fast, he has 3 different

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

halal. It's very important.

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

I'm going to discuss later on,

00:12:07 --> 00:12:08

Is it better for a person

00:12:09 --> 00:12:11

Better. Pay attention to his wedding. Is it

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

better for him to break his fast when

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

traveling?

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

Or is it better for him not to

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

do so? That's an issue, a discussion we're

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

going to have, In sha Allahu Ta'ala, later

00:12:21 --> 00:12:24

on. But an individual now, he's fasting.

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

Sometimes he might go through some difficulty, right?

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

Write down these three different cases.

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

If this individual now

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

is traveling and is also fasting,

00:12:35 --> 00:12:36

and the fasting

00:12:36 --> 00:12:39

is really badly affecting his health,

00:12:40 --> 00:12:41

We say that it's haram for him to

00:12:41 --> 00:12:42

fast on his travels.

00:12:44 --> 00:12:45

He would have to, it would be wazhi

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

upon that individual to break it.

00:12:48 --> 00:12:49

Because Allah

00:12:50 --> 00:12:51

did not say to you, to affect your

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

health.

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

And one time, the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

sallam,

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

He saw a man that

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

was being shaded. So the messenger

00:13:03 --> 00:13:04

asked, What is this?

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

Said, This individual is fasting.

00:13:07 --> 00:13:08

He responded back and he said,

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

It is not from piety

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16

fasting while you are on your travels.

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

Meaning, while you are traveling,

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

and you're making yourself go through all of

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

this difficulty.

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

In another narration, the Messenger

00:13:25 --> 00:13:26

said,

00:13:28 --> 00:13:31

They are disobedient individuals. They are disobedient individuals.

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

Guys, so if now the fasting that one

00:13:35 --> 00:13:36

observes

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

on his travels, and it is affecting his

00:13:39 --> 00:13:40

health really badly,

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

we say to the individual,

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

you have to break your fast.

00:13:46 --> 00:13:47

The second case,

00:13:48 --> 00:13:49

he has some sort of Mashakah.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:52

He's finding it, you know, somewhat difficult,

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

but not not so difficult as the first

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

case scenario.

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

In that case, we say to him, it

00:13:59 --> 00:14:01

is better for you and it is a

00:14:01 --> 00:14:02

sunnah for you to

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

break your fast. Is it wajib? The answer

00:14:05 --> 00:14:06

is no.

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

And likewise, in both cases, if one was

00:14:09 --> 00:14:10

to persist and fast,

00:14:11 --> 00:14:13

even though he's severely affecting his health, his

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

fasting will still be saih. But he would

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

be sinful for it, in the first case.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:19

Wow there, guys.

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

Jameel.

00:14:21 --> 00:14:22

The 3rd case is,

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

this individual, he doesn't find any difficulty whatsoever.

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

Well, he doesn't find any difficulty whatsoever.

00:14:29 --> 00:14:30

Okay?

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

He can do whatever he wants. He can

00:14:32 --> 00:14:33

do whatever he wants.

00:14:34 --> 00:14:35

Is it now better

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

for a person to break his fast when

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

traveling?

00:14:40 --> 00:14:41

Or is it not?

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

In the madhab of Imam Ahmad

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

it is better

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

for him to break his fast when traveling.

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

Where did he get this from? You have

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

the hadith of hamzatibnaamin

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

al assim.

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

He came to the Messenger

00:14:57 --> 00:14:58

and he said,

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

I have strength

00:15:05 --> 00:15:06

when traveling.

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

Okay? And I'm also observing the fast.

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

Is there a sin upon me?

00:15:14 --> 00:15:17

The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam responded back and

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

he said,

00:15:20 --> 00:15:23

This is a legislative concession from Allah

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30

Whoever wants to fast, this is good, great.

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

And whoever wants to also break his fast,

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

there is no harm upon that individual.

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

Narrated by Muslim.

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

So the fact that the messenger said,

00:15:44 --> 00:15:47

This is a legislative concession from Allah. There's

00:15:47 --> 00:15:48

another hadith

00:15:48 --> 00:15:51

that pushes this view of it what being

00:15:51 --> 00:15:53

better according to Madaba Muhammad

00:15:53 --> 00:15:55

The Messenger said in another hadith,

00:16:01 --> 00:16:02

Allah loves for you

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

to take the legislative concession, to take the

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

rufa.

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

Just as He loves for you to

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

stay away from the things that

00:16:12 --> 00:16:13

He dislikes.

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

Are you with me, my brothers and my

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

sisters?

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

So, Ruq sahiya. Allah loves for you to

00:16:18 --> 00:16:21

take the legislative concession. So based on that

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

they said, it is better. Allah loves for

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

you to break your fast when you are

00:16:25 --> 00:16:26

traveling.

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

And Imam Ahmedra

00:16:29 --> 00:16:30

is by himself on this issue.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

You have the overwhelming majority of the scholars

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

who say, it is better

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

for a person

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

not to break his fast.

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

Where do we get this from? You have

00:16:42 --> 00:16:43

the hadith of Anas ibn Malikan

00:16:45 --> 00:16:46

Okay?

00:16:46 --> 00:16:47

He said,

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

We traveled to the Messenger and it was

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

really really hot.

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

Hot. And we used to put our hands

00:17:03 --> 00:17:05

on our heads, on our foreheads here like

00:17:05 --> 00:17:05

that,

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

because of it being so, so hot.

00:17:11 --> 00:17:12

Rasulullah

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Abdullah Abdullah Nara Waha.

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

And the only one that was fasting from

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

amongst us was who? The Messenger

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

So they said it is better. Why? Because

00:17:24 --> 00:17:27

the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam only normally

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

does that which is better.

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

So based on this hadith, you have the

00:17:31 --> 00:17:32

likes of the Shafi'i'i'i,

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

and other than them, the malikiya and the

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

uhhnaf,

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

they say it is better. Wadih my brothers

00:17:38 --> 00:17:39

and my sisters?

00:17:39 --> 00:17:41

So anyways, we don't want to go into

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

comparative fiqh, but I thought I'd mention that

00:17:43 --> 00:17:45

anyway. Sometimes even my Muhammad is

00:17:45 --> 00:17:48

by himself, I'll just slightly mention it, inshallah.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:51

Then there's also other views. These are not

00:17:51 --> 00:17:53

the only two views. There's another view, but

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

the Rajah, when you look at the outward

00:17:54 --> 00:17:57

opinion on this issue, is that a person,

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

he does that which is easier for him.

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

That which is easier for him.

00:18:01 --> 00:18:03

Are you with me guys? He does that

00:18:03 --> 00:18:04

which is easier for him.

00:18:08 --> 00:18:11

An individual now wakes up, he's fasting,

00:18:11 --> 00:18:13

and then he decides to go and travel.

00:18:15 --> 00:18:16

When can he break his fast?

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

Can he break his fast while he's still

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

in le12?

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

That's the postcode for lofbra, right? Or LE

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

2? LE 11. LE 11. He's getting emotional

00:18:26 --> 00:18:27

about

00:18:27 --> 00:18:28

it.

00:18:30 --> 00:18:31

Postcode, what was that? We've got some of

00:18:31 --> 00:18:34

our brothers who are killing one another because

00:18:34 --> 00:18:35

of post code there in London.

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

Or can he only break his fast

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

after hitting the road? Because Allah

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

told us with regards to shortening our

00:18:46 --> 00:18:46

prayers,

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

Once you hit the road, there is no

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

harm upon you,

00:18:56 --> 00:18:57

to shorten your prayers.

00:18:58 --> 00:18:59

What does a person do?

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

It's like

00:19:02 --> 00:19:03

that area.

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

No. Sheikh said otherwise.

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

Means the moment he made the intention to

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

be in safar, that he is in safar

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

now. So the brother, he mentioned, the moment

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

he made the intention, that's when he can

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

break his fast. But if this is an

00:19:32 --> 00:19:35

issue that the scholars are strongly different on,

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

the man has been

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

Okay?

00:19:40 --> 00:19:42

This is a position in the Madhav Imam

00:19:42 --> 00:19:42

Muhammad

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

and is very very strong.

00:19:45 --> 00:19:47

He says that you can only break your

00:19:47 --> 00:19:48

fast

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

once you reach the outskirts.

00:19:55 --> 00:19:57

That's maybe the best way to put it.

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

Where did he get this from?

00:20:09 --> 00:20:11

When he went to go and conquer Mecca,

00:20:11 --> 00:20:12

k,

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

He carried on fasting until he reached an

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

area called, Quran Gamim,

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

which is 60 kilometers

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

from Mecca. So from Madinah

00:20:24 --> 00:20:25

all the way till

00:20:26 --> 00:20:27

he carried on fasting.

00:20:30 --> 00:20:32

And the people they also fasted with

00:20:36 --> 00:20:37

him.

00:20:38 --> 00:20:40

And the Messenger SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam then he

00:20:40 --> 00:20:42

asked for a qadah of ma,

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45

a little bowl of ma, water. It was

00:20:45 --> 00:20:47

brought to him, he raised it in front

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

of everybody,

00:20:49 --> 00:20:50

then he drank

00:20:55 --> 00:20:56

it. It was said to him that some

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

people,

00:20:58 --> 00:21:00

they carried on fasting, he said, They

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

are disobedient, they are disobedient.

00:21:02 --> 00:21:03

This

00:21:03 --> 00:21:05

is a position in the Madhuri Mahindrahi

00:21:06 --> 00:21:07

Also,

00:21:09 --> 00:21:10

Abi Basrat Al Ghathari,

00:21:10 --> 00:21:13

a companion of the messenger salallahu alaihi wa

00:21:13 --> 00:21:13

sallam.

00:21:13 --> 00:21:15

Okay? He go onto the ship.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:19

When the ship started moving, he asked for

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

his lunch to be brought.

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

It was said to him,

00:21:24 --> 00:21:25

What are you doing?

00:21:26 --> 00:21:27

Why are you breaking your fast?

00:21:28 --> 00:21:29

And then he explained that this is the

00:21:29 --> 00:21:30

sunnah of the Musa Allah

00:21:34 --> 00:21:36

Whoever now desires other than the sunnah of

00:21:36 --> 00:21:37

the miss Salaam

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

this person is not from us.

00:21:39 --> 00:21:41

But again, Imam Muhammad on

00:21:41 --> 00:21:43

this issue is by himself. You have the

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

overwhelming majority who say,

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

okay?

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

That he is allowed to break it from

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

the time he makes the intention.

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

But like I mentioned earlier,

00:21:54 --> 00:21:55

and before as well, we are studying the

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

Madhima Muhammad So

00:21:57 --> 00:21:59

I'm going to be mentioning the views, and

00:21:59 --> 00:22:00

sometimes it's touching

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

on the other views, just so you guys

00:22:02 --> 00:22:05

are aware that there is another view. Okay?

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

So

00:22:06 --> 00:22:07

it is more safer

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10

that a person does not break his

00:22:11 --> 00:22:14

fast until he reaches the outskirts of his

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

city.

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

Like getting on to the m one. Just

00:22:17 --> 00:22:18

the other day, he was having discussion, me

00:22:18 --> 00:22:19

and my dad.

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

He's, you know, going to be taking some

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

of the tamireen,

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

some of the pilgrims to go and what?

00:22:24 --> 00:22:25

Perform Umrah.

00:22:26 --> 00:22:27

And the flight is leaving at 8:30.

00:22:28 --> 00:22:29

And they're leaving from Lesta,

00:22:30 --> 00:22:31

okay, at 1 in the morning. This is

00:22:31 --> 00:22:32

before what?

00:22:34 --> 00:22:35

So I had to clarify this issue with

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

him. It's a common issue that tends to

00:22:37 --> 00:22:39

arise. It's a common issue that tends to

00:22:39 --> 00:22:41

arise. It's better for a person

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

to start his day while fasting as soon

00:22:43 --> 00:22:45

as he gets onto the road, takes his

00:22:45 --> 00:22:47

food, and that's when he breaks it.

00:22:49 --> 00:22:50

The other day, a good friend of mine,

00:22:50 --> 00:22:52

some of you guys may know him, Mustad

00:22:52 --> 00:22:53

Khaled, when I was driving him home from

00:22:53 --> 00:22:54

one of the events,

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

he told me And we was going past

00:22:57 --> 00:22:57

Knightsbridge

00:22:58 --> 00:22:59

and Oxford Street.

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

He said that he heard, but Allahu'alaam.

00:23:02 --> 00:23:04

Okay? We don't build

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07

our religion on assumptions, and we don't start,

00:23:07 --> 00:23:10

you know, judging others based on assumptions. But

00:23:10 --> 00:23:11

he said he had.

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

And as I'm driving here, I thought maybe

00:23:13 --> 00:23:14

it would be very very good to mention

00:23:14 --> 00:23:15

this issue.

00:23:15 --> 00:23:17

While they he says that some Arabs

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

k.

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

In the month of Ramadan, they leave their

00:23:23 --> 00:23:23

countries

00:23:25 --> 00:23:27

in order to come to London just so

00:23:27 --> 00:23:29

they don't have to fast. Allahu Alem, how

00:23:29 --> 00:23:32

authentic and how trustworthy that piece of information

00:23:32 --> 00:23:33

is. Maybe the brother

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

can enlighten us later on as well. Is

00:23:36 --> 00:23:38

that true? I've heard that as well. Yeah,

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

you heard. I've heard, a lot of people

00:23:40 --> 00:23:41

have heard.

00:23:42 --> 00:23:42

Okay?

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

They come, some of these rich guys, they

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

come and they start booking our hotels in

00:23:47 --> 00:23:48

Knightsbridge,

00:23:48 --> 00:23:49

Oxford Street,

00:23:49 --> 00:23:52

and they try to take the legislative concession

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

of not having to fast in the month

00:23:54 --> 00:23:54

of Ramadan.

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

Are you with me, guys? Because he's now

00:23:58 --> 00:24:00

considered to be a traveler, right?

00:24:01 --> 00:24:02

He's considered to be a traveler.

00:24:03 --> 00:24:05

Is it permissible for him not to fast?

00:24:07 --> 00:24:08

No.

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

No. No. No.

00:24:12 --> 00:24:13

Different of opinion.

00:24:14 --> 00:24:17

There's a that there's a dimension.

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

Okay?

00:24:22 --> 00:24:25

The way this individual is dealt with,

00:24:25 --> 00:24:28

okay, is in a way where he receives

00:24:28 --> 00:24:31

the opposite of what he is treashely

00:24:32 --> 00:24:33

making the intention for.

00:24:34 --> 00:24:35

This individual,

00:24:35 --> 00:24:37

okay, if he

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

only traveled for the purpose

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

of not wanting to fast, he is not

00:24:42 --> 00:24:43

allowed to use that legislative concession.

00:24:45 --> 00:24:46

My brothers and my sisters,

00:24:47 --> 00:24:48

so this is when this principle comes in

00:24:48 --> 00:24:52

very very handy. If an individual now, okay,

00:24:53 --> 00:24:56

he tries to use a concession by Allah

00:24:56 --> 00:24:57

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:24:57 --> 00:24:58

not because

00:24:59 --> 00:25:01

it is for the reason why Allah

00:25:02 --> 00:25:05

legislated that for him, then he's not allowed

00:25:05 --> 00:25:06

to use that concession.
