There are some certain things that we are
allowed to do, during the day of Ramadan,
and they don't invalid in the fast. And
because I hear the questions all the time,
so it's better to share the answer with
you.
Brushing your teeth is okay. The prophet used
the miswak several times when he was fasting.
So you can use a toothbrush or the
miswak while you are fasting.
It is recommended
not to brush your teeth or use the,
you know, to change the smell of your
mouth and all that because it's been in
the sight of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala than
the smell of musk and this is in
the hadith.
But if you get close to Asr or
after Asr and your mouth the
smell is very bad you start to smell
like a dragon right and people are falling
down when they smell you. In this case
you need to change this smell and nothing
is wrong but make sure that nothing goes
inside your throat, you don't swallow anything.
Also,
ear drops,
insulin shots,
and eye drops and so on and so
forth.
And also,
giving blood samples, donating blood, receiving blood, if
they fix your teeth, if they stop your
all these things, they don't invalidate your fasting,
but make sure that nothing goes through, the
throat.
Yes, when you are fasting, you can shave
your head, you can trim your fingernails,
they have nothing to do with fasting. Also,
if you get angry, it has nothing to
do with fasting. I get these questions all
the time. So as long as nothing goes
through your throat like food or drink and
as long as you don't have intermitilations
during the day your fasting should be valid
inshallah.
The last thing inshallah, this coming Friday we
will have our annual fundraiser
to support the masjid inshallah and the community
so make sure inshallah you bring some money
with you bring your checkbook make sure you
make a good donation inshallah the sisters and
the brothers and even your children if they
have some savings make sure inshallah they make
a contribution
to to keep the Masjid and the community
running. And as I said before, you can
contribute from your Zakat to help the Masjid
through the fundraiser.
And if you receive a, tax receipt from
the Masjid and you get some tax returns,
this is part of the reward in this
dunya because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gives you
the reward in dunya and Atha. The Atha
of the reward in dunya will give you
Barakah in your money and your salary. And
also if you get some tax returns, it's
also part of the
