I'm also telling another person
about the hadith that you
memorized or you heard about.
There's many great virtue regarding this topic. And
I just like to mention maybe a good
4 or 5,
so that people they understand.
The last great question
is that
the Malaika,
you find in the day
surround
those who attend the gathering of Hadith.
Then Allah
remembers them.
And the Malaykah
surround them.
And Allah
says down upon them,
grace, and mercy, and tranquility.
That became in a very authentic hadith.
The malai can only attend gatherings
and then goes and takes this hadith to
another person.
And it gives them an understanding of this
hadith.
So this shows a great virtue of the
one that learned the hadith and etcetera.
Another great virtue
is that
attending the governance of of the hadith,
Allah
will increase him in provision,
in wealth, and etcetera.
It was mentioned in a hadith
that was narrated by Noah Taymili that there
was 2 people.
One of them always used to attend
the gatherings of Hadith. And one of them
used to
work.
So the one that used to work when
complaining
to the prophetess of Allah, alaihi wa sallam,
he said to him,
oh, messenger of Allah, I hope he's working
and he
is sitting in the in the
gatherings. So he said to him,
it will increase the wealth of a person.
And one other great virtue
is that
Allah
and the Malaykha,
they are sending their mercy
and Allah is sending his salutations upon those
We're off on a constant basis.
The prophet
then Allah
will send upon him
10
salutations.
Today, inshallah,
Here
is the
Here the Shia has mentioned 5 hadith
which is related to fasting and also by
traveling.
We try to mention each hadith and mention
a brief explanation.
Then at the end of the hadith, we
try to
get more briefly inside the explanation of the
hadith.
The issue about fasting and traveling,
there's many scenarios. There's many types of cases
in this path,
in this category and in this perspective.
Sometimes
it is recommended
for a person to fast while he is
traveling.
Sometimes haram for him.
And sometimes it is wise or calling to
break it,
and etcetera.
But in generality,
a person has a choice from a general
perspective point of view.
You can either break your fast
or even
fast.
According to Allah's
statement,
and the one that broke his fast didn't
shame or embarrassed the one that wasn't fasting.
And the other way around. So there was
some of them fasting, or some of them
were fasting,
and no one
spoke negatively about Yahweh.
And it was really really hot. We have
in Shadid.
And none of us were fasting except for
2 people. The prophet On that very hot
day, when it was very severely hot, no
one was fasting except for 2 people.
So that shows me that time when there
was hot, most of them didn't fast except
for 2 people.
And the whole
Khadid, we were with the prophet
It is not from piety that a person
in fact while traveling.
Here, the prophet
spoke about
fasting while traveling in a negative way. But
we'll explain that inshallah a bit more after
reading the final hadith.
Hadith.
So they used to get the material they
have on their clothes, and they used to
use that as a shade. That became in
some narration just a little bit.
And those that weren't fasting another one thing
at a time, they stood up.
They used to be those that were giving
water to the camels.
They have the people that were fasting and
etcetera.
So the prophet said at the end of
the Hadith,
those that weren't fasting, they took the reward.
Wait.
Going back to only the Hadith, you find
different scenarios.
The first scenario.
When a person is travelling, he can either
break his fast,
and he can also have the choice to
fast at a particular time.
This is for a person that is not
putting any hardship upon himself. He has the
oh, he has the strength.
When a person is going out on his
travels,
and he's putting a lot of hardship upon
himself,
And then he reaches a scenario where he's
about to disrupt himself.
Here, it is not permissible for a person
to fuss.
Why? Because the prophet said
when he saw some people,
and they were putting so much hardship for
themselves, and he said,
These people are disobedient. These people are disobedient.
He said these 2 are disobedient.
And another narration he said, lay sallam al
biriyasiyan of the suburb, there's no piety
in fasting when there
is when you are traveling.
This is for the case of a person
when he's putting hardship for himself.
And if any time when a person is
going
out, for example,
halit and jihad.
Now the prophet
said
to the Sahaba one time,
In the morning you will meet the enemy.
Fast to you.
It is better that you don't fast today.
It is more stronger for you. So break
your fast. You are going out for the
expedition
to go and fight. The prophet,
he
told them to break the fast. Why so
the Muslims, they can be strong?
So in this case, you find that the
prophet, he ordered them, and he made compulsory
upon them to break their fast.
So you have these kind of different scenarios.
Which one is better?
It is better than the person has the
ability to fast,
and he has the strength when going out
for travels, it's better for him to do
the siyam because you are in the month
of Ramadan.
But obviously, if he's gonna make hard upon
himself, then we go back to the salami
that we mentioned earlier.
For example, now I've been travelling. I went
to India. I went to Bangladesh and I
came
back in the month of Ramadan
before an iftar. For example, I came back
5 o'clock. The Istar is 9 o'clock, and
I haven't been fasting.
Naha. Is the way I keep up on
me now to do insat, to carry on
fasting from 5 o'clock
all the way to 9 o'clock, which is
normally the start around 9:30.
He said,
Whoever doesn't fast at the start of the
day is according to not fast at the
end of the day. So if you come,
and there's still time left
to be fasting,
This person is not upon him to fast.
According to our revival of truth, he mentioned
in this category.
So what is upon this person? Will he
be coming to the person now who doesn't
fast? What does he have to do? Does
he have to feed, or does he have
to,
make up and etcetera?
So the issue regarding a sick person,
Here, you have different scenarios
because the sickness of the people in different
levels.
The first scenario, a person when he is
sick.
This person, he doesn't have any hope
of ever becoming better. For example, a person
paralyzed.
He's on a wheelchair.
He's got cancer and etcetera.
Then there's an ijma. Agreement,
unanimous agreement within Babilama.
And those before us, there is no wajib
upon this person
to perform the fast.
So if this person becomes better, because you
have to do Allah,
we'll be coming to you inshallah in a
bit.
The second scenario that you have.
When there's a sick person,
done. But obviously, he's not like the first
one that we mentioned.
This sick person when he fasts,
his sickness will have an effect on his
fasting.
Like a person on diabetes.
You find that people on diabetes, they get
very, very red, and they become more.
Their their situation becomes more severe in the
middle of the day if they don't take
medication,
and they don't have food and drink,
and they don't take the Ibra
inside,
the dig.
Then in this case as well, this person,
he doesn't fast.
Why? Because his sickness breaks his situation,
Is the individual who done explanation
of Sahih Muslim, but also he compiled on
the way in the 4th hadith who is
very famous.
He said regarding a person when he becomes
in a very severe situation,
thirst and hunger overtake him really, really badly.
He comes to a point where he's about
to disrupt and maybe he'll die.
Yeah.
Yani become very, very, very ill and become
destructive, and he might even die.
He said in this case, this person, he
doesn't
fast.
He breaks his fast.
He breaks his fast. According to our laws,
he said,
So what does this sickness mean? Whenever they
talk about sickness,
does it mean I've got any sickness in
my toe or in my leg
where it could prevent me from fasting and
etcetera?
They mentioned a very important general rule.
Now
Obviously, some of the things that you mentioned
earlier, but if it is a
situation where his situation becomes much worse, and
he becomes much more sick, This is the
meaning of sickness when the hadith
I'm talking about.
But there's obviously a little pain in your
eye or little pain in your why it
doesn't have any effect on your fasting, then
this is not considered to be the sickness
that the Rudama are talking about in this
way.
The one that is severely old.
Is it upon this person to fast? Is
it upon him to break? And if he
can't fast, what does he do? And etcetera.
It is from the opinion
of the major of the
then this person, he feeds a miskeen
for every day.
This individual, he feeds a miskeen
every single day.
And we all know Ibn Araba said was
he was the individual that the prophet Muhammadu
alaihi was telling him in Duafor.
His tafsir is given
great preference
and great consideration.
Because obviously, the kalam of the Sahaba takes
when the big sahaba,
those that were in Badr,
in their meetings.
That's how he considered him to be a
great
person. Even he was very little. He was
very little.
So one time someone said,
stormy with people, etcetera. So
he asked Imam he asked the Sahaba, what
is the meaning
of the
the amount of knowledge that Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala gave him. And because of the dua,
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam as well.
So
he said regarding the eye, even though there's
a lot of
shila, what this big woman or big man
does,
the opposite
opinion is that this person,
Yani, does he give a whole meal
or does he give maybe 1 tinner?
What is the estimation?
They use this proof, Wallachika Rama
in all talking about to the Imola Khalibul.
The medium
or the estimate or the normal thing that
you give your family.
For example now,
you might have for lunch,
rice, chicken,
and something like that. No more meal.
This is what a person will give
every miskin.
This is the estimation that a person would
give for every miskin.
Or the woman that's on her senses
or the individual that is a traveler,
he has to
make up that fast when Ramadan is finished.
According
and also the woman on Amasis, they don't
pay any fidya or they don't,
feed them.
One last issue
regarding a pregnant woman
and also a woman that is breastfeeding.
What does she do?
Does she have to pay?
Does she have to do a lot and
etcetera?
You have people like Iqbal
and also others,
and she doesn't have to feed any misgiv.
According to what the prophet
or the individual that's standing, sorry, to fast.
They have allowed it.
And likewise, gets half and cuts his prey
up.
Muhammad
Ali held him
one more day.
And also a woman, if she fails her
children, obviously,
when she is pregnant,
then this woman,
she makes up this
fasting after the month of Ramadan.
And some important issues.
We ask Allah
to benefit ourselves and, likewise, our prophets
regarding the theme of Allah Azza wa Jal.
And
