00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			In the name of Allah, the most gracious,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			most merciful,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			I bear witness that there is not worthy
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			of our worship except Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			And I bear witness that Muhammad is
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			the seal of the prophets and the final
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:00
			messenger to
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			So the month of Ramadan has arrived.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			So take advantage of this
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			unique and special time to get close to
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and to get your
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			sins forgiven.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			Whoever witnesses the month and does not get
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			his sins
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			or hears sins, forgive it. This person is
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			a loser.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			So the prophet
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			says in the authentic hadith that whoever witnesses
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			the month of Ramadan and does not get
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			their sins forgiven, they are losers.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			So this was then the hadith and al
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			al muf mufad by al Bukhay. The prophet
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			as narrated by Anas ibn
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			Malik climbed the member one name.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			So he said, Ami, then Ami, then Ami
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			3 times. So the sahaba said, oh, prophet
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			of Allah, why did you say Ami 3
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			times?
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			So he said, Jibril, Gabriel, came to me
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			and said, whoever witnesses the month of Ramadan
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			is a loser, so say Ami, and I
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			said Ami.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			Then, Jibreel Alaihi Salam says, whoever
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			witnesses his parents
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			or sees them and lives with them in
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			their old age and he doesn't serve them,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			he is not good to them. So in
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			this case, they don't take him to Jannah,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			then he is a loser. Say, Ameen, I
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			said, Ameen.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			The Jibreel Alai Salaam says, whoever whoever
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			your name is mentioned in front of him
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			or her, and they don't,
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			send Allah's peace and blessings on you. They
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			are losers, so say, Amir. I said, Amir.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			So
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			today, inshaAllah, we'll talk about some of the
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			basic rulings
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			related to the month of Ramadan. Some of
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			some people are not familiar with these rulings,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			so I'm gonna mention them briefly, inshaAllah.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			So some things some people do, and these
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			days will invalidate their fasting, and they have
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			to make another day after Ramadan.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			So number 1, if someone
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			eats or drinks intentionally
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			during the day of Ramadan, they have to
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			wake up the day of Ramadan.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:11
			But
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:12
			if
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			they eat or drink unintentionally and this happens
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			most of the time in the first couple
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			of days, people are not used to fasting,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			so they eat and drink unintentionally.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			So in this case, the person would have
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			to continue their fast. If they ate or
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			drink,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:28
			unintentionally,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			their fasting is acceptable.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			So if someone throws up intentionally, they would
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			have to wake up the day after Ramadan,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			but they, they throw up unintentionally.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			Their fasting is valid, and this is what
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			the prophet
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			says in
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			Number 3. If a sister starts her monthly
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			period during the day of Ramadan in any
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			time, she will have to
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			finish the fast, and she will have to
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			make up the day after Ramadan. And the
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			same is also true for a sister who
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			gives birth to a child during the day
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			of Ramadan. She will have to make up
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			the day after Ramadan.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			If these sisters continue the fast, their fasting
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			is not valid, and they have to make
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			up the fast after Ramadan.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			So number 3,
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			if someone has a relationship with his wife
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			during the day of Ramadan, they would have
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			to make up the day,
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			and they have also to fast 60 consecutive
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			days after the month of Ramadan. It's a
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			severe punishment.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			And this was in the khanib and Bukhary
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			and Muslim. A man came to the prophet
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			said, oh prophet of Allah,
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			I destroyed myself.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			So the prophet
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			said, how? He said, I had * with
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			my wife during the day of Abala.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			So the prophet
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			said, can you free a slave to compensate
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			to make up for the sin you committed?
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			He said, I can't. I can't afford it.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			Then the prophet said, can you fast for
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			60 consecutive days after Ramadan? He said, can
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			I can't? Look, I tried to fast Ramadan
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			30 days, and I couldn't hold myself.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			What about 60 days? So the prophet said,
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			can you feed 60 poor people? He said,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:27
			I can't.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			Then a plate of dates was brought to
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			the prophet
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			So the prophet, sasallam, gave it to him
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			and said, take it and give it as
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			a charity to someone. So the man said,
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			by the one who sent you in truth,
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			oh, prophet of Allah, as the poorest person
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			in the whole world. So the prophet smiled
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			and said, take it and eat it with
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			your wife.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			If a pregnant lady or a lady who
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			who is nursing their baby in the month
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			of Ramadan,
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34
			if she can fast, fine. But if she
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			is not able to fast, then there are
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			3 options.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			She can only feed poor people, one poor
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			person for every day she breaks in Ramadan,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			or she can make up the days after
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			Ramadan, or she can feed and fast the
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			days. The 3 options are available. Any one
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			of them is okay.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			So some of the things that happen in
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28
			the day of Ramadan, so they these things
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31
			don't invalidate the fasting. And one of them
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			is wet dreams during the day of Ramadan.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			Say, for example, someone is asleep
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			and they have a wind dream, then this
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			person does not make up the day. The
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			fasting is is still valid.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			Number 2, brushing your teeth in the day
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:01
			of Ramadan
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			or using this wax does not invalidate the
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			fast. But, generally, it is better if the
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			person does not brush their teeth because the
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			prophet says, the smell of the mouth of
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			the person who is fasting is better in
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			the side of Allah than must.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			But sometimes, the smell gets very bad,
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			and the mouth smells like a a dragon
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			mouth, and people just fall down when they
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			smell your mouth. Then in this case, no
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			problem if you brush your teeth or use
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			miswipe. No problem. And the prophet
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			sometimes use miswipe when he was fasting, so
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			it is accepted.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:49
			So number 3, using injections or shots, like
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			insulin for those who are diabetic,
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			the fasting is acceptable, and any other injection.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			Also, the eardrops, the nose drops,
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			they don't,
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			invalidate the fasting. Using the puffer while you
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			are fasting does not invalidate the fasting.
