Welcome to our journey through the nuances of

00:00:23--> 00:00:24

Ramadan

00:00:24--> 00:00:28

with fast and curious your Ramadan FAQs answered.

00:00:28--> 00:00:31

So Inshallah in today's episode, we are addressing

00:00:31--> 00:00:32

a question

00:00:33--> 00:00:35

as common as it is controversial.

00:00:35--> 00:00:39

The topic is kiss dry lips goodbye. Can

00:00:39--> 00:00:41

lip balm break your fast?

00:00:41--> 00:00:43

Now whether it be because of the harsh

00:00:43--> 00:00:45

dryness of a fasting day

00:00:45--> 00:00:48

or just the habit of keeping your lips

00:00:48--> 00:00:48

moisturized,

00:00:49--> 00:00:51

let's delve into the facts and find out

00:00:51--> 00:00:52

the truth.

00:00:53--> 00:00:55

To start things off, why is this question

00:00:55--> 00:00:58

so important? You see, during Ramadan, we abstain

00:00:58--> 00:01:01

from anything entering the body from dawn till

00:01:01--> 00:01:02

dusk.

00:01:02--> 00:01:05

But does applying something externally

00:01:06--> 00:01:08

like lip balm affect the validity of our

00:01:08--> 00:01:09

fast?

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

You see chapsticks

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

or lip balms, lip creams

00:01:13--> 00:01:15

are used primarily

00:01:15--> 00:01:16

for moisturizing

00:01:17--> 00:01:20

and healing chapped lips, a common concern during

00:01:20--> 00:01:23

fasting due to the reduced water intake.

00:01:23--> 00:01:25

So the main question arises

00:01:25--> 00:01:27

from whether this act of moisturizing

00:01:28--> 00:01:29

has any

00:01:30--> 00:01:30

internal

00:01:31--> 00:01:31

implications.

00:01:31--> 00:01:33

So what is the ruling?

00:01:33--> 00:01:34

The majority,

00:01:34--> 00:01:37

most of the modern day scholars agree that

00:01:37--> 00:01:39

using lip balm using ChapSticks

00:01:39--> 00:01:41

do not break your fast

00:01:42--> 00:01:44

as long as you are careful not to

00:01:44--> 00:01:45

ingest the substance

00:01:46--> 00:01:47

into you so long as you're careful not

00:01:47--> 00:01:50

to ingest it. Now what's the thinking process?

00:01:50--> 00:01:51

Fasting

00:01:51--> 00:01:54

focuses on what is ingested into the body

00:01:54--> 00:01:56

and lip balm applied externally

00:01:57--> 00:01:58

does not count as nourishment.

00:01:59--> 00:02:02

So how can you use lip balm why

00:02:02--> 00:02:04

easily during Ramadan?

00:02:04--> 00:02:06

My advice is to choose

00:02:07--> 00:02:07

unflavored

00:02:08--> 00:02:08

varieties

00:02:08--> 00:02:09

to reduce

00:02:09--> 00:02:12

the risk of ingestion through taste

00:02:13--> 00:02:14

and apply it sparingly,

00:02:15--> 00:02:16

a thin coating,

00:02:17--> 00:02:17

ensuring

00:02:18--> 00:02:21

that it is absorbed and not left excessive.

00:02:21--> 00:02:23

Don't apply a thick layer where it is

00:02:23--> 00:02:26

left excessive, which could lead to, you know,

00:02:26--> 00:02:27

accidental consumption.

00:02:28--> 00:02:29

Remember, my dear brothers and sisters, the essence

00:02:29--> 00:02:32

of Ramadan is not just in the letter

00:02:32--> 00:02:35

of its law, but in its spirit, seeking

00:02:35--> 00:02:36

closeness to Allah

00:02:37--> 00:02:40

through discipline, through worship, through and through compassion.

00:02:40--> 00:02:42

Taking care of your body,

00:02:42--> 00:02:43

including your lips,

00:02:44--> 00:02:48

aligns with the Islamic principle of preserving one's

00:02:48--> 00:02:50

health. So as we've seen today, the use

00:02:50--> 00:02:53

of flip balm during Ramadan when done with

00:02:53--> 00:02:54

care and intention,

00:02:56--> 00:02:58

does not break your fast.

00:02:59--> 00:03:02

Allah knows best. It is about maintaining your

00:03:02--> 00:03:03

physical well-being

00:03:03--> 00:03:06

while observing your spiritual duties.

00:03:06--> 00:03:09

So kiss those dry lips goodbye

00:03:09--> 00:03:12

and embrace the blessings of Ramadan with confidence

00:03:12--> 00:03:15

and peace of mind. Thank you for joining
