Mohammad Elshinawy – Those exempt from Fasting

			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Bismillah R Rahman Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen
wa ilaha illAllah when it could have been a shadow and Mohammed and also de la him and Ruth, Dr.
Lyle, I mean,
		

			we begin the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the grantor of mercy, all praise and glory be to
Allah, Lord of the world certainly allows deserving of the best of thanks and those beautiful
praises and testify that no one is worthy of our worship. But Allah and Allah alone without any
partners, the true supreme King, and the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was indeed His
Prophet and his service and His Messenger, when we sent as a mercy to the worlds. Okay, so we're
actually redoing yesterday's video, because I didn't like the way I may have confused you guys. So
let's talk about this subject again, who are those exempt from fasting? And how do they compensate
		

			for that? How do they make up for that? We said that those liable to fast or every sane, adult,
resident capable Muslim. And we spoke in the first video two nights ago about the resident, what
that means if you're traveling, the type of travel, that you'd be allowed to shorten your prayer in,
even if you're not exhausted, you're still allowed to break your fast. Even if it's not burdensome
on you, you're still allowed to whether it's preferable to fast or preferable to break your fast is
a debate among the scholars, but the permissibility, the exemption is there for those who choose to
take it. So though, that's the person that's traveling, we've already covered it. So they the
		

			resident or is the one that is not exempted in that regard, when we said those that are capable, who
are those that are capable,
		

			whoever is not incapable. Those that aren't incapable are a few. First of all, because there are a
unique category, those legally incapable of fasting, the woman that is menstruating or the woman
that is postpartum
		

			those are legally incapable, meaning Allah has made it illegal, unlawful on them to fast and they
must make up the days meaning a law out of his mercy has obligated them to break their fast and to
make it up.
		

			at another time when they are not going through these periods. It is important to always say that
sometimes our sisters because they know their calendar, their cyclic calendar,
		

			well, or they're that regular in their cycles, that as soon as they feel the onset, they say oh,
today is the day and therefore I have started my menses. menses is not demarcated by the cramps
beginning with a date arriving it is by the appearance of blood once the blood appears at some point
throughout the day, then automatically that day, if it is not measurable, yet, you will break your
fast and make it up at another time, while not worrying about your reward for having fasted that
many hours that day, of course. Okay, moving on. Now, those that are incapable are basically those
that are physically incapable, like the broad terminology for it is the sick the material.
		

			But those are of various types. So there are people that are sick.
		

			And by sick, or the one definition that would apply to all of them is that they would be adversely
affected in a significant way. If they fast, it would harm them physically,
		

			or harm the baby they're carrying or nursing, or it could delay their their recovery from their
illness because they're not taking their medication, or they're weakening their body excessively, or
in a significant fashion, the person who was sick in a way that could be further aggravated or
further harmed by fasting, they're automatically allowed to break their fast the sick person. And
then the sick people, if they are able to
		

			make up the day, at another time, because they finish their courses medication or they're better
now, or it is something chronic, they'll have it their whole life, but maybe the days in the winter
would be shorter, so they can make up those days. If they're able to make up the days they should
make up the days. If they're not able to make up the days then
		

			they will have to pay or feed a feed do videos basically in the tone mentor, tone this person No, it
is like an expiation
		

			a ransom for your fast if you will, that's the literal translation but that's what it is in exchange
for your fast and we'll explain what the exchange is at the end of the lecture inshallah. So those
that are able to make up their fast can should make up their fast so that applies to the person that
is going through a curable disease or disease that would still allow them to make it up at a later
time because there's they're significantly better or the day is shorter so they won't be adversely
affected. If they can make it up. They make it up that applies to the sick person from you know,
typical illnesses that applies to the elderly person. Sometimes a person will be read
		

			an age where they become so weak that they cannot fast the longer days, but they can fast the
shorter days like the winter days. In that case, they would make it up that way. But if they can't
make it up that way, they would just
		

			if even the shorter days aren't short enough, they will just once again offer the idea for each day,
they would break their fast
		

			nsmb Malik by the way the Companion of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he got old, he
would not be able to fast or break or makeup is fast because everything was too long of a day for
him, what he would do is on the last day of Ramadan, he would invite 30 needy people and feed them a
hot meal. And that would make up for his 30 days. Anyway, so that is the sickness that is curable or
it may be alleviated to a point where it would be easy for them to make up the fast those are the
people that need to
		

			make up the fast and then there's the the the the women that are pregnant and nursing, if you're
pregnant, or you're in nursing and you're going to be adversely affected by fasting, like you're
going to dehydrated the doctor or reliable doctor and preferably a Muslim doctor because sometimes
the the non Muslim can be culturally shocked by the fact that you fast, and they may like
		

			exaggerate a little bit to the severity of it. But if you know from prior experience, or you have a
reliable doctor, preferably a Muslim doctor telling you you shouldn't be fasting, it'd be too long
to dehydrated or it could harm your fetus, or after you've given birth you it can harm your newborn,
or you will not be producing enough milk you know that from yourself for your child. In all those
cases when you or your child will be adversely affected by their fasting you're allowed to break
your fast as well. You're just like the sick person who needs to make it up at a later time once
your body is ready
		

			to allow you to fast without backlash on your on your child. That's basically it. So those are the
ones that are exempt from fasting,
		

			the menstrual and postpartum, the sick person from curable and incurable diseases. We'll talk about
the video in a second, the elderly person who's considered perpetually ill or mentally incapable
physically, and then the woman that is pregnant or nursing and fears for herself or her child. Okay,
so the fifth year, how is the fifth year done, which is the ransom for those that need to break
their fast. If you are a sick person, or an elderly person that do not expect to get better or
stronger to the point where you can make up the days and for every day, you're going to offer
		

			a failure a failure. Just simply put, don't hold me to the legal measuring stick on this one sorry,
which is basically 500
		

			grams
		

			of staple foods like wheat and oats and barley and things like this would be permissible.
		

			According to some scholars, but just take the safer opinion, the Hanafi opinion one slot which is
basically a kilogram of staple food.
		

			For whatever kind, some scholars differentiate between the kind of food half a kilogram for this or
kilogram of that one kilogram of food, or like nsmt lavonne did its equivalent in a hot meal. For
simplicity, there are like good charity websites that have like in the in the drop down tab 50 F or
fasting multiplied by 29 days or from O'Donnells 30 days. And that's it, you can make your life
easier and follow that protocol. So that's if you're not able to make the fast up, there's one last
thing to be said, which is the person who is a pregnant or nursing mother, and she felt the need or
was told you cannot do this to yourself by a reliable physician, you must break your fast
		

			she's gonna make up just like the sick person. And as we said, This is according to all form of the
hip two out of the form of a hip may in some situations, like if she fears for her child, but
herself, also pay the idea on behalf of in addition to making up the days so she would pay the
video, if she fears for her child not for herself. That's the position handling method.
		

			And so that would be the safer position to take.
		

			That's the
		

			first thing I wanted to say about nursing and pregnant The next thing I can't speak about too many
hypothetical but the next and last thing about nursing and pregnant that there is an opinion from
Abdullah of neuro monopolize, and I bet some of you love on him and they'll be pleased with them.
That mentions that a woman does not have who is breaking her past due to pregnancy or nursing can
just consider herself like the elderly. Don't even expect to
		

			make it up later or try to make it up later. Just pay the idea. And that's it.
		

			This is contrary to the opinion of the four major schools of Islamic law. But if it becomes an
excessive hardship these are legitimate companions, huge companions, multiple companions of the
province also left who had this view. So for
		

			Perhaps this view can be adopted as many scholars do nowadays as a concession. In other words, if
she's been piling on days because she could have a baby, so it's like three years one year pregnancy
and two years nursing and then another child comes, what happens after 345? Kids, she could have 15
years of Ramadan to make up between the nursing and the pregnancy exemptions. How do you do that?
		

			So in that case, when it piles on to be too much for her, she can just consider herself
		

			the sick person who is not able to make it fast due to the number of the fats now, even if she's
perfectly healthy after that, in that case, you would just pay the video for that number of days and
that would be the end of it. There are questions coming up as expected, we will inshallah address
them. On Sunday, as we said, we'll dedicate a day a week to the 50 the legal questions,
psychologically and everybody I hope that was clearer than yesterday will allow us to kind of Vienna
Muhammad, Allah Allah. He was
