Mohammad Elshinawy – Fasting Rule Book – Who Must Fast

			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah
moraine. We begin the name of Allah hold praise and glory to Allah and his finest peace and
blessings be upon His messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and his family and his
companions and all those who tried his path. I pray that Allah azza wa jal is helping us and you get
up and get energized and and feeling more and more driven for the coming month of Ramadan and allow
us to see it and not take anything for granted and prepare of intentions that which will compensate
for or outdo our actions in Charlotte this month. I hope you're sitting with your family talking
		

			about scheduling, talking to your children about goals,
		

			being practical and realistic at the same time. And so we're going to continue with the legality of
it to make sure we are covering our bases and our fasts are valid and proper and correct inshallah.
		

			So, to begin just with the Baraka of an ayah, as we have customarily done since we began with these
recordings, Allah subhanho wa Taala spoke about Ramadan and he said dementia,
		

			dementia he Domingo Musharraf Alia sompo whomever view is present meaning residents not traveling
for this month of Ramadan then they should fast it will mean Cana in Cambodia to an hour less effort
inside the terminal heart and whomever of you is sick or traveling then a set number of days meaning
an equal number of days in their place. We will expound on that and speak about all the other
details that came from the Quran from the Sunnah of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		

			So who is obligated to fast and who is exempt from fasting, so those are obligated to fast the month
of Ramadan among Muslims is going to be every sane, adult, capable,
		

			resident. Resident is easy. If you're traveling, you're allowed to break your fast and your fast is
valid, according to all of the scholars
		

			and they differ on whether it's preferable to break your fast while traveling to take a less
concession because Allah loves that people use his concessions or
		

			is the opposite is it preferable to fast the month of Ramadan, so they only differ on prefer
ability, and I'm gonna knock him a whole lot. He has a beautiful statement about this, by the way,
when he said have little humor, a subtle humor the best of those two whether I break my fast as a
traveler or I don't break my fast as a traveler, meaning just the traveler a traveler that's allowed
to shorten his prayers basically not a traveler who's going through hardship because of his travel
it could be as comfortable as you as you can imagine, as imaginable. But he says the more preferred
of them the two choices with the two fast while traveling I'm about to break my fast while traveling
		

			with my mobile phone.
		

			He has a subtle humor is the easier of the two what's easier on you? He said why is it because you
know the ayat of the Quran?
		

			Or perhaps his logic was at the height of the Quran after they mentioned these exemptions they say
you read a lot of legal modules. Allah wishes ease for you that was the whole point of this. And so
it's easier for us to travel is so comfortable to fast on what about the disease about him Allah
will tell you just fast because you might be harder after Ramadan knowing that no one else is
fasting or for some other reason. It's just easier to do it then do it even if you're traveling
you're allowed to fest according to the vast majority pretty much the agreement of the scholars
		

			and if you choose to break your fast then that is certainly valid by agreement of every one of the
scholars so the residents have to fess though this is all discussion on the traveler allowed to
allow to but what is preferable they debate on
		

			and some say circumstantial is not one hard and fast rule. Then we said what capable those who are
not capable I'll defer to tomorrow night's discussion in sha Allah to speak about those that are
exempted due to inability to fast we'll talk about that tomorrow inshallah we said what?
		

			We said every sane.
		

			Adult, why do we say sane adult those two qualifiers because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said to us in the height of it that we thought about the LaWanda was narrated by Ahmed, without
column one falletta pen has been lifted from three people or three types of people three categories.
He said the sleeping person
		

			until he awakens, or she awakens, because obviously you're asleep. So you're outside of your
capacity. So how could you be responsible for something that you really didn't know that you were
doing? So if you, you know,
		

			you divorce someone while you're sleeping, but you're actually sleeping, it wouldn't count. If you
robbed the bank and came back home after putting the money under the mattress while sleepwalking.
It's technically not how, but Allah knows if you were sleeping or not, then you'd still have to
return the money.
		

			I'm joking here, not about that part. But really a person who was sleeping is not addressed by the
rules of the Shetty as you know,
		

			but the next soon the Hadith or what apply to fasting here, he said sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or
slubby you had to tell him and the child until they Yeah, tell him Yeah, tell him basically means
they become pubescent. You know, even Exelon the word Ramsey referring to it like what dreams also
		

			in in Arabic. And so basically a person when they become of age,
		

			become an adult, the signs of puberty signs show up on them.
		

			Before that they are not liable for for anything in this area. And the third one, he said, When
would you know not to fear and the insane person, the one who is outside of their mental capacity
until they regain their sanity? Because if they don't comprehend that Allah is expecting a certain
something of them, then how could they be responsible for meeting that expectation?
		

			But let me at least say one thing before we close about the child.
		

			When when the Hadith says the pen has been lifted, this is dependent bad deeds, this is the pen of
accountability being liable.
		

			Not the pen of deeds, what do I mean? Can it good? Can a child before puberty gain good deeds? Yes,
by the karma of Allah he can. And that is why for example, you find it when a woman presented a
child to the prophet SAW selama on the Hajj journey and said he had the Hajj, can this one perform
Hajj? Meaning would he get any reward for this? He said, Now I'm more lucky. Yes, and for you as a
reward, and with regards to
		

			fasting in particular. And so I have Bacardi also a Ruby I've been tomorrow with are the lavonne I
mentioned at the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam instructed them to fast, they've Ashura and
they said since that day cannot and assume we would fast one or so women have been Anna, and we
would make our children fast. Of course, you use your judgment, you don't, you know, do it before
it's time. But I just want to say you would be very surprised how early a child can find the
capacity to this when they're being encouraged, I know, children in kindergarten who volunteer
because of the positive reinforcement of their parents and part of the encouragement of their
		

			parents,
		

			half of the date, and then by first grade, by the lots of children led by first grade, they fast the
entire day until another these days that we're talking about the days was not that it was eight
o'clock. Absolutely. And so don't underestimate the potential of your child. In fact, this would be
very
		

			merciful of us as parents, to not expect our children to change gears all of a sudden, at 13, or at
14 or 15. You know, at that corner, that turn of puberty, to just start fasting, if you if you can
do whatever obey the law, and I said the unsalted would do, we would make our children fast, she
says, and then if one of them would cry, could not smile a little bit, and then we would give them a
toy made out of wool, like a teddy bear, if you will, with probably a more primitive one. She said
we would just give them a toy made out of wool, until it was time to break the fast distract them
and so encourage them to fast as much as they can.
		

			So it's not an obligation on them, but they would be rewarded. Absolutely. If they know what they're
doing. They'll be rewarded and also employ distraction try to help them get past
		

			their frustration with the demands of the fast and use it sparingly and praise and smother with
praise and encourage me allows Elijah to build out of our children and yours. devout servants to him
that seek by their lives nothing more than they seek His pleasure in seeing his face just like a lot
later on tomorrow. We'll talk about some of the exemptions and also make up for them. Those who
break their festival, Milan said I want a good October
