Ramadan 2024 Reminders #26

The, question with regard to

kafara or Fidya.

The 2 words.

Kafara is

when there is a

mistake,

and making amends for the mistake is like

paying a fine.

So if you break your fast deliberately,

right, unknowingly,

the fast does not break.

While you are fasting, if you forgetfully eat

something, the fast does not break.

So there's something to remember. Obviously, you should

be careful, but if you happen to eat

something

because you forgot forgetfully,

then the fast is still intact. As soon

as Saddam said, complete the fast.

But if you deliberately break the fast,

then the

kafara for that is to

release pay for the reliefs of our slave

or

to fast

continuously for

60 days

for every fast that you break. This is

to understand the seriousness of that. Right?

Fast for 60 days continuously,

meaning, of course, you take suhoor and iftarbat,

meaning one after the other 60 days.

Or if you are physically incapable of that,

meaning if you are sick and so on.

It's not a question of saying, oh, I

feel tired. I know. But if you are

physically,

medically incapable

of that, then to feed 60 people. So

this is the kafar, but,

usually the question is about fidya,

which is

subwah. What can you pay

in case you cannot fast?

Now two things to understand. First of all,

when you say cannot fast,

cannot fast permanently. So So some medical condition

because of which you cannot fast from now

until you die. For example, people have very

high,

diabetes, very severe diabetes or something like this,

some heart problem and so on where the

doctors have said, look, you cannot fast. It

is dangerous to your life. Now in such

a case,

it is possible to pay somebody else to

fast on your behalf, and the figure for

that is to pay them for suhoor and

iftar

for the whole month.

Right? You do that every year throughout your

life.

But if the fasting cannot be done

for some temporary time,

for example, a nursing mother, for example, through

the women when they have their periods. For

example, if a person if a lady has

given birth to a child just then,

and so she can't fast.

Those days, you cannot pay for this.

Those days have to be made up after

Ramadan is over. So once Ramadan is over,

then she can fast, and this would be

the hada

fast for the ones that she missed,

during Ramadan. The same thing applies to a

man for whatever medical reason. If cannot fast

or if he's travelling, he cannot fast, then

he must make that up after Ramadan

is over.

I hope this is clear as far as

the issue

of missing of fasting is concerned.

Fasting is a pillar of Islam.

Deliberately, we cannot miss it. It is not

possible to do that, so please make sure

correctly and at the correct time.

correctly and at the correct time.
