So InshaAllah Ta'ala, we're now going to move
on to the next part
of the poem.
This is when now the sheikh, he starts
speaking about
the
or
the
Some of the things that
invalidates
one's fast. So
he mentions,
The first thing that the poet
he talks about is
Anything
that enters into one's interior,
through the manafid,
through the entrances of His body.
Whether this is something that is edible
or unedible.
Whether this is something that can be digested
or is something that can't be digested.
Anything that enters into his interior, this is
now going to
invalidate his fast.
Whether this individual now is swallowing drugs, this
individual fast in the month of Ramadan.
But he's somebody who moves drugs from place
to place.
This individual now he swallows up a couple
of grams of cocaine,
And he wants to move it from place
to place, but this individual is what? Somebody
who prays at the same time, and also
wants to observe the fast. Does that break
his fast?
That breaks his fast. As I mentioned earlier,
he says, anything
that a person enters into his interior
And this is the madhah Muhammad
Well, you guys are probably looking at me.
Really?
Somebody who smuggles drugs is gonna fast? Yeah,
he might fast.
Yes. He might well fast.
Wallahi, I know a brother
who was in charge of drug dealing
in a part of London. I'm not even
going to.
So you don't start canceling people out, and
then maybe he goes online and people start
thinking, who is he speaking about?
Who runs
or who was
running a drug trade in a part of
London? Nobody can drug deal
except they come through him. You try to
drug deal without his permission, it's gonna be
a problem.
He's got a couple of houses as well.
Anyways,
point of the matter is, this individual, he
would always pray. People started
embracing an Islam
while they're moving from place to place.
With some things in the car. Guys, why
I'm being serious?
I'm being actually really, really serious. But anytime
the salah comes,
he prays.
And he could have kilos
of stuff in his car.
That's one thing he never ever left off.
And perhaps maybe that was the reason why
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala guided him and removed
the law of filth from his life.
The salah, it removes the filth and the
evil of your life,
or in your life.
This is why when I sometimes, even though
I'm going off topic here, when I see
a brother who's drug dealing
Recently,
not recently, maybe over like 2 years ago,
but I met the brother recently.
One time I was going past some shops
in my house, and these brothers were standing
in front of the shop, smoking weed.
They were buzzing.
So I was like, Let me just get
out of the car quickly, speak to him,
inshallah, I'll do a bit of khair before
I go home.
So I was like, Guys,
I'm not one of them guys who's gonna
stand here, you know, and give you a
for a whole hour because obviously we see
that a lot in Lester. Right? It's a
group of people that stand there.
What are you guys laughing for?
For a whole hour, he stands there, and
the brother I remember I used to get
that when I was young. I'm like, guys,
I wanna go play football. Like, leave me
alone. You know?
Yeah. You know?
So point of the matter is I was
like, Look, guys, I'm not gonna take more
than 5 minutes of your time. And it's
not wise as well.
As a person who goes out and gives
da'wah, takes 1 hour of people's time, they
might be busy doing something.
Even the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he
used to choose a time
to give people what?
Dawah. But sometimes, you know, some men are
not going to have, like a bit of,
you know, a couple of moments here and
there.
Because people might have things to do, and
it could be that they end up disliking
the dawah that you give to them.
So I was like, guys,
not gonna take an hour of your time.
Probably used to be stopping you on the
road. I just want 2 minutes.
They were respectful enough to listen.
I said to them, Guys, I'm not telling
you to leave your girlfriend.
I'm not telling you to leave your drugs.
I'm not telling you to leave anything. I
just want you to go and pray.
25 minutes of your day. Guys, is that
a lot? I said to them,
they were like, Wallahi, you know, what you're
saying is right, you know.
So,
I remember the brother, I'd use 1 brother,
you know, 25 minutes, like Allah azza wa
jal, you've got so much time in your
day, like 5 minutes.
So anyways, recently when,
It's like maybe a good couple of months
ago, I think it was like over a
year ago actually,
because a lot of groups come with my
dad every single season.
This brother came up to me and he
was like, bro, do you remember me?
Okay. I'm nah, I don't. You know, I
just thought maybe it was one of the
brothers who watches online.
And then he goes, remember you came up
to me that day, and I was buzzing.
I was buzzing. I was with all my
friends, and you told me to go and
pray.
And I started praying.
This is exactly what a prayer does. Some
of you guys don't know Imran.
That's exactly how he started practicing as well.
He was like music crazy.
And then as he was praying, he began
to feel very uncomfortable in the environment that
he was.
You see what I'm saying, my brothers, my
sisters?
So,
how did that come about? What was I
discussing?
Yeah. The issue about the drugs.
The issue about the drugs. Yeah. There is
in fact people who might swallow,
you know, they're moving drugs from place to
place and he's fasting at the same time.
Based on the mandulillahi Muhammad,
here's what? His fasting is invalid.
And likewise, anything that enters into
the
If your head, for example now,
it opens up.
K? You have a gash in your head,
an injury.
And you have to now put dawah.
You have to take medicine and pour it
inside the gas that you have on your
head. In the Madurai Muhammad
that would also
invalidate your fast.
Okay? Because this is now entering into
a closed off part of your body.
What about some of these nutritional
injections?
Jobel is saying,
It's going to invalidate one's fast. These
nutrition
nutritional
injections will invalidate one's fast. Why?
This is now entering into the body,
and it's going to be reaching where? The
right? This is now going to also be
reaching one's stomach. But if individual now, he
ended up having some injections
in his hand, talking about the hand here.
And also his thighs, and likewise also his
feet.
We would say that would not invalidate his
fast.
The reason why is that does not,
or there isn't a passageway from the foot
all the way to the stomach.
As opposed to an individual now we ended
up
having an injection somewhere around this part of
the body.
Okay. As long as obviously he's sure, when
he has these injections,
this is now going to reach the mihada,
reach the stomach.
What about these cameras that are inserted into
a person's interior?
They call it a flexible
cystoscopy.
A flexible
cystoscopy.
I think that's what it's called right?
Is there any medicine studiers here?
Anybody here study medicine?
Is trying to be a doctor?
Anyways, I tried to look it up. It's
called a flexible
cystoscopy.
K?
I think it's just better to say the
camera that is inserted. In the 1st couple
of days of Ramadan, my mom came up
to me and they said they're sticking a
camera into her mouth. And it's going to
be going down her throat.
The position in the madhah Imam Muhammad
is
that if this camera now is inserted
into your interior,
while the
inserted into a new interior, and it goes
past the throat,
this now will invalidate.
Some scholars they say, if it is now
covered with a lubricant,
or some oil
is massaged on it, and is entered into
your mouth, then that's the only time it
invalidates.
But the official position is that this would
now what? Invalidate. Whether it has a lubricant
on it or whether it doesn't have any
lubricant on it.
Then he goes on to say,
or he begins to mention some of the,
very well known invalidators
of the fast.
First thing that he mentioned is
food and drink. This is something that is
known in the religion by daroor or by
necessity. Everybody knows it. We have the hadith
of the Mas'id salallahu alayhi wa sallam when
he said,
Allah says, he leaves of his food and
his drink.
Okay? And also his for My sake.
So that is something that is very well
known Allah as the Wajale
said:
Keep eating and keep drinking until what?
Then the next point that he mentions is,
What does this mean?
Is my brothers and my sisters
nose drops.
Nose drops.
Nose drops. Why do they say this is
an invalidator?
Because the Messenger SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said in
a hadith,
Be somebody
who sniffs of the water at time of
making wudu properly.
Go overboard with it.
Except
when you are fasting.
What do we learn from that?
That this is now
an entrance which could invalidate one's fast.
What the heck is?
So that's the first thing. In the madhah
Muhammad
whether it is ear drops, whether it is
nose drops, whether it is eye drops,
If now one receives these substances through all
of these places,
and he can feel that substance in his
throat,
this is now going to what? Invalidate one's
fast.
I'll repeat again. In the madhah of Imam
Mahindra
If one receives a substance
through the eye, or through the nose, or
through the ears with the condition
that he now taste
the substance
in his throat, this is not going to
invalidate it. So
also you guys know what is, right?
Yeah. But it's similar to mascara. He's right.
It's similar similar to mascara, but this is
called
More like eyeliner.
Eyeliner.
Anyways, we know what the intended purpose is.
Whether it's mascara or whether it's eyeliner, that
black No, no, no. Eyeliner is the they
use a pen. Yeah, the pen. Pen, they
put it here.
It's a pen, right? But anyways, kuhl is
above the eye.
How about brushing? Sorry. I'll come on to
that later. It's powder or black powder things.
Translate it.
You know, if an individual now is receiving
substances
through his eye, when there's whatever it might
be. If that now reaches the throat, with
the condition of it reaching the throat, the
halk. He begins to taste over there.
Because it can happen.
Speak to people who use they say, Yeah,
sometimes we can feel it in our throats.
We can taste it there.
Guys, if he taste it,
then that invalidates his fast. This is why
the poet says,
Go through your fast taking the safe option.
If you can delay it till after you
break your fast, then that's a safer option.
Why not, guys?
Even though you have some of the contemporary
scholars, they say the only thing that breaks
from the different drops that a person might
receive,
Okay. The substance that he might take through
these these
entrances,
is that which he receives through the nose.
Because of the hadith that I mentioned. In
the madam Imam Muhammaduhamullah,
all of these things that he
receives,
that which he receives through these entrances
of the eye and also the ear and
also what? The nose
would be an invalidator. We have the hadith
of Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala Anha. She said,
She said that the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, akhraj ibn Majah. She said that the
Messenger sallallahu alaihi was telling me, Use kuhul
while he was fasting in the month of
Ramadan.
Narrated by Abu Nuhaja.
Hajuled.
Is Manthabim Mehmed Rahimlah going against the evidences?
What do we say about this hadith? I
remember I mentioned it last year.
Repeat Adithir, please. Anil Abi sahiktahala
And then Nabi sazik tahala waawasamunfi Ramadan.
He used kushul in the month of Ramadan
while he was fasting, narrated by
Narayat
Narayat Narayat Narayat but the chain of narration
is weak.
There is no authentic narration in this issue
of using Qur'an, or the misalai is having
used Qur'an. While the handiest hadith is mentioned
in
Hajj al Askani
brought this because some of the scholars who
say, It's okay for one to do so.
So he mentioned this to bring up the
discussion.
What about
You guys know what is, right?
What you call it in English language?
Bohor.
You know the scent that you sometimes put
in your house
and the smoke.
What do you call it? Effresh. No. No.
You're not effresh. No. There's a there's a
there's an Arab type of bukhoor which you
burn. Oh.
Like, oh, dear.
Does it break your fast?
Based on the qawwad and the madrimi Muhammad
If
one now has this oud, this incense,
this buhoor that gets lighted and burnt in
his house, and all of the smell is
going through, sometimes it becomes smoked out.
If he intentionally
sniffs it up, his fasting is broken.
If he intentionally does it, sometimes you walk
past and some smoke goes into your nose.
What the guys?
Where did this come from? The hadith that
I told you guys earlier. The messenger of
Allah alaihi wa sallam is a sniff of
the water, do the go overboard with it
when you are fasting. Sorry. When you're making,
except when you're fasting.
So if this individual intentionally,
sniffs it up.
Or when you're walking past, an issue that
I'm gonna mention
is all. A place is smoked out with
wheat.
He walks past, is that gonna break his
fast? The answer is no. Baby sniffs it
up,
passive smoking.
He does passive smoking in the month of
Ramadan intentionally. That's what's gonna break it.
Guys.
Then the poet, he goes on to say,
The *
of many.
And also,
the many,
the many coming out of a person's private
part.
Because of him now coming into
interaction,
touching, fondling
with his wife,
and also *,
all of these things are from the things
that invalidate one's fast.
Okay? So InshaAllah Allah, let me stand over
each point.
If this individual now does something called with
his wife.
It varies.
Okay? It varies from coming into contact with
your wife, fondling with her, okay? Touching her,
your thighs being between her thighs,
all the way up to having sexual *
with your wife.
The word
is used.
So in the Madhrib Imam Muhammad
if somebody now does
of every type, And because of him now
touching,
Because of him now touching her,
he releases
whether it is
or Mahdi. In the madhafi Muhammad
his fasting has now become invalidated.
What is the difference between and Mahdi?
Allah is not shy from the truth.
Guys, this is very very important.
If you don't know the difference, it could
be either that you're having a shower every
time you become aroused,
or
after releasing, you're making If
you don't know how to differentiate between the
fluids that comes out of your private part.
Is the fluid
that comes out of a man's private part
at the beginning
of sexual * at a time of being
aroused.
And many
is that which one releases
when he's just done.
When he's done. So when I'm in sexual
*,
it comes out, and he gets tired. That's
when the guy goes to sleep.
Wadih.
Are you with me guys? That's the difference
between the two. In the madhhab,
both of these issues,
it's what?
To invalidate one's fast.
I have to mention this because it might
cause a bit of controversy in the minds
of some confusion.
The issue of
Okay. The reason why,
some scholars they hold that medi doesn't or
many of the scholars, if not the overwhelming
majority, they say that Medi doesn't break your
fast.
And the reason why the many would break
your fast, those who said that it breaks,
okay? Your fast when a person masturbates,
is because this individual now has not left
off his shahwa.
We mentioned earlier in the hadith of Qusi,
when Allah says,
He leaves of his food
and his drink, and also he showers for
whose sake? For My sake.
Has this individual who masturbates
left of his shower?
He's relieved himself, right?
Babe, what about the person who's released Mehdi?
Has this individual relieved himself?
He hasn't.
It's a type of fluid that sometimes comes
out, and you can't even feel it coming
out.
So based on that, the outweigh, you know,
the stronger view in this is that if
comes out,
your fast hasn't become invalidated.
But still the fact that one of the
4 holds this view, it's not Allahimaa.
Try to control yourself.
What if an individual has sexual * but
nothing comes out?
Nothing's come out.
I told you guys earlier
that he leaves over the food and the
drink and he shower.
The guy has sexual * but hasn't relieved
himself.
Fasting is broken.
Generally speaking,
okay, this is in the chapter of Wusl.
Whether he comes out or not,
Okay? If it sits between her 4 parts
of the body,
and he penetrates her, okay? Then the wussar
has become wajib, even if he doesn't release
anything.
Even if he doesn't release anything.
So in this issue, whether he ejaculates or
whether he doesn't,
in every case the fast has broken. And
And we're going to come
on to later on. Okay? What the kafar
upon that individual is, and we discussed it
last week,
insha Allah.
There's another issue that is discussed, and that
is with regards to
If an individual,
he keeps looking at the opposite gender,
and that now causes him
to release.
This
This individual now, he finds his sister walking
past him. He's outside,
and he's staring the life out of her.
Staring the life out of her.
He's seeing the love of his life.
He's really really attracted to her. Can't take
his eyes off her,
And then he ends up releasing.
Ends up releasing, guys.
Okay? A very weak guy though but,
Hands are releasing.
Okay?
The Sheikh said, let him go to the
mechanical.
I'm
gonna ask you guys this question. Haya, he
kept on looking at her.
And then many came out. He ended up
relieving himself like that. He never touched himself,
just came out. We already spoke about him
using his hands
to masturbate.
In the Madam Imam Muhammad
is going to invalidate his fast, right? Hayatayb
is constantly looking,
and he calls it now to release.
He's not touched himself.
There are 3 different cases.
The first case is,
a woman walks past him whether she's halal
for him or whether she's not halal for
him. We're talking
about even his wife.
Okay?
Or a woman does not halal for him.
He looks at her, and then he looks
away, and then he also releases.
He also releases.
1st look, 1st glance.
The first scenario is, if he looks,
the first glance, and then he looks away
and he releases, that does not break his
fast.
Why?
A man came to the Messenger
and he was looking at the opposite gender.
Or he asked him about the first glance.
The Messenger He said,
Move your eyes away.
And we know that the first look is
what? Forgive him.
And because of that, his fasting,
is still correct.
2nd case is, this individual,
he repetitively
keeps on looking at the opposite gender, whether
she's halal for him or whether she's not
halal for him.
This individual's fasting has broken.
Because he done takr of another.
And he's also relieved himself.
Okay. He's done the out of choice. It's
not because it was a mistake. Guys,
sometimes an individual in the month of Ramadan
and we get this, guys. Guys. He says,
I'm gonna stay away from *.
* is a sin
that will lie can really really destroy your
heart.
While there, he says, I'm gonna stay away
from that in the month of Ramadan. But
then what? He starts looking at things he
shouldn't be looking at.
He watches *.
Okay? And through that he ends up, what,
relieving himself without touching his private part.
This is when this issue now comes in
handy, it's a contemporary issue, right? Looking at
some of these things, watching *.
His fasting would also become broken.
