Mustafa Khattab – Fiqh of Fasting

In the name of Allah, the most gracious,

most merciful,

I bear witness that there is not worthy

of our worship except Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

And I bear witness that Muhammad is

the seal of the prophets and the final

messenger to

So the month of Ramadan has arrived.

So take advantage of this

unique and special time to get close to

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and to get your

sins forgiven.

Whoever witnesses the month and does not get

his sins

or hears sins, forgive it. This person is

a loser.

So the prophet

says in the authentic hadith that whoever witnesses

the month of Ramadan and does not get

their sins forgiven, they are losers.

So this was then the hadith and al

al muf mufad by al Bukhay. The prophet

as narrated by Anas ibn

Malik climbed the member one name.

So he said, Ami, then Ami, then Ami

3 times. So the sahaba said, oh, prophet

of Allah, why did you say Ami 3

times?

So he said, Jibril, Gabriel, came to me

and said, whoever witnesses the month of Ramadan

is a loser, so say Ami, and I

said Ami.

Then, Jibreel Alaihi Salam says, whoever

witnesses his parents

or sees them and lives with them in

their old age and he doesn't serve them,

he is not good to them. So in

this case, they don't take him to Jannah,

then he is a loser. Say, Ameen, I

said, Ameen.

The Jibreel Alai Salaam says, whoever whoever

your name is mentioned in front of him

or her, and they don't,

send Allah's peace and blessings on you. They

are losers, so say, Amir. I said, Amir.

So

today, inshaAllah, we'll talk about some of the

basic rulings

related to the month of Ramadan. Some of

some people are not familiar with these rulings,

so I'm gonna mention them briefly, inshaAllah.

So some things some people do, and these

days will invalidate their fasting, and they have

to make another day after Ramadan.

So number 1, if someone

eats or drinks intentionally

during the day of Ramadan, they have to

wake up the day of Ramadan.

But

if

they eat or drink unintentionally and this happens

most of the time in the first couple

of days, people are not used to fasting,

so they eat and drink unintentionally.

So in this case, the person would have

to continue their fast. If they ate or

drink,

unintentionally,

their fasting is acceptable.

So if someone throws up intentionally, they would

have to wake up the day after Ramadan,

but they, they throw up unintentionally.

Their fasting is valid, and this is what

the prophet

says in

Number 3. If a sister starts her monthly

period during the day of Ramadan in any

time, she will have to

finish the fast, and she will have to

make up the day after Ramadan. And the

same is also true for a sister who

gives birth to a child during the day

of Ramadan. She will have to make up

the day after Ramadan.

If these sisters continue the fast, their fasting

is not valid, and they have to make

up the fast after Ramadan.

So number 3,

if someone has a relationship with his wife

during the day of Ramadan, they would have

to make up the day,

and they have also to fast 60 consecutive

days after the month of Ramadan. It's a

severe punishment.

And this was in the khanib and Bukhary

and Muslim. A man came to the prophet

said, oh prophet of Allah,

I destroyed myself.

So the prophet

said, how? He said, I had * with

my wife during the day of Abala.

So the prophet

said, can you free a slave to compensate

to make up for the sin you committed?

He said, I can't. I can't afford it.

Then the prophet said, can you fast for

60 consecutive days after Ramadan? He said, can

I can't? Look, I tried to fast Ramadan

30 days, and I couldn't hold myself.

What about 60 days? So the prophet said,

can you feed 60 poor people? He said,

I can't.

Then a plate of dates was brought to

the prophet

So the prophet, sasallam, gave it to him

and said, take it and give it as

a charity to someone. So the man said,

by the one who sent you in truth,

oh, prophet of Allah, as the poorest person

in the whole world. So the prophet smiled

and said, take it and eat it with

your wife.

If a pregnant lady or a lady who

who is nursing their baby in the month

of Ramadan,

if she can fast, fine. But if she

is not able to fast, then there are

3 options.

She can only feed poor people, one poor

person for every day she breaks in Ramadan,

or she can make up the days after

Ramadan, or she can feed and fast the

days. The 3 options are available. Any one

of them is okay.

So some of the things that happen in

the day of Ramadan, so they these things

don't invalidate the fasting. And one of them

is wet dreams during the day of Ramadan.

Say, for example, someone is asleep

and they have a wind dream, then this

person does not make up the day. The

fasting is is still valid.

Number 2, brushing your teeth in the day

of Ramadan

or using this wax does not invalidate the

fast. But, generally, it is better if the

person does not brush their teeth because the

prophet says, the smell of the mouth of

the person who is fasting is better in

the side of Allah than must.

But sometimes, the smell gets very bad,

and the mouth smells like a a dragon

mouth, and people just fall down when they

smell your mouth. Then in this case, no

problem if you brush your teeth or use

miswipe. No problem. And the prophet

sometimes use miswipe when he was fasting, so

it is accepted.

So number 3, using injections or shots, like

insulin for those who are diabetic,

the fasting is acceptable, and any other injection.

Also, the eardrops, the nose drops,

they don't,

invalidate the fasting. Using the puffer while you

are fasting does not invalidate the fasting.
