Shadee Elmasry – 4 Types of Fast

			Now let's educate ourselves on the
types of fasting. Of course, the
		

			first one we'll begin with is the
obligatory fast so the obligatory
		

			fast is Ramadan, of course, but
it's also called up which is
		

			makeup. Ko Farah, which is the
fast that may be a punishment that
		

			you broke fast intentionally so
you have to do certain fasts or
		

			they can have certain oaths that
may have been done and broken. And
		

			then there's never never is an act
where you, you promise to draw
		

			near to Allah with an act of
worship. And so, if you do that,
		

			then that becomes an obligation.
		

			Let's look at the the next
category we have is the
		

			recommended fasts. Okay,
recommended fasts are a couple
		

			verses yo modify the ninth of the
hedger, this is the greatest day
		

			of the year, of course, little
cousin, the night of power is the
		

			greatest night of the year, the
greatest day of the year is called
		

			The Day of Arafah, where the hedge
is taking place, and is the high
		

			point of the pilgrimage. So fat we
who do not go on the hatch. If
		

			you're not on hatch, you fast that
day. Then there's the day of
		

			Ashura, which is the ninth which
is the 10th of Muharram. But then
		

			we also fast a day before and
after as a recommendation it's
		

			recommended to faster or shorter.
Now our shooter was the first
		

			obligatory fast Ramadan wasn't,
was recommended fast, and then
		

			they were swapped, right the
ruling on them changed. So Allah
		

			Tala did not just come down with
Ramadan, 30 days fast right away.
		

			He made it recommended first,
right let's look at the the
		

			gradation of the law coming in.
Right. So he made it recommended
		

			first, so some people fasting some
not. So it was in the air, then
		

			when it became an obligation
became easy.
		

			And then you have the weekly
fasts, which are the white days.
		

			What does that mean? It's when the
Moon is at its fullest. So there
		

			are three days every lunar month
where the moon is 100% full, then
		

			maybe like 95%, full on both
sides, right? The day before the
		

			full moon the day after the full
moon we call those la MLB or the
		

			white days. So it's recommended
fast those three days in the
		

			middle of every month. That's the
best of the habitual fasts. Why is
		

			it the best because it's the one
that you can be consistent with,
		

			even in old age of very
		

			ambitious fast is Monday and
Thursday, every week, twice a
		

			week. And then every other day is
the most when the Prophet said no
		

			more than that, because that's a
lot of fasting. And a lot of
		

			people have trouble keeping that
in old age. But that was the
		

			fasting of the great Prophet
Dawood alayhis. Salam,
		

			the forbidden fast, is it
forbidden? Is it ever forbidden to
		

			ask? Yes, it is. It's actually
forbidden to fast on the two days
		

			of eight. Okay, the two aids,
which are of course, the AIDS
		

			filter, and Adel Aha, the first of
show well, and the 10th of the
		

			hidden. We're not allowed to fast
on aid. And then there's Yeoman
		

			Zschech, which is the day of
doubt, and that's not forbidden is
		

			discouraged. So what does that
mean? That means we went to see
		

			the moon for just to discover the
		

			entrance of Ramadan. We didn't see
it. So maybe, you know, it's just
		

			hidden behind a cloud? I don't
know. We didn't see it. So let me
		

			just fast anyway. We say no, we
don't fast that because obligatory
		

			acts of worship must be done with
certainty, not with doubt.
		

			Recommended things may have
doubted right. But obligatory acts
		

			of worship cannot be done with a
doubt. So it's discouraged to fast
		

			that day. If the intent is to
facet as Ramadan. Right. So that's
		

			discouraged for you to do but if
it's if it's
		

			like let's say it's a Monday and
you always fast Monday, Thursday,
		

			then you can fast no problem.
