Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Salam aleikum, everyone. In this
keynote, we're going to look at Ramadan prep. And we'll cover
pretty much all the bases that you really need to cover. Not
everything will be in the text, but I'm going to say certain
things as well. So that you'll really 95% of what you need. Will
insha Allah be covered. So let's get going. The first thing that we
want to talk about Ramadan, we're not just mechanically like moving
here, like just doing practices, we have, you know, a motivation.
And motivation is the most important thing. Ramadan does not
transform a person unless that person wants to be transformed, is
willing to be transformed, right? So that's what I say. But I'm
about well transform you unless you are already in the mindset of
transformation. You get in the mindset of transformation by
focusing on not just what to do, but what motivates you. What is
moving you in life and that's where there's, you know, the
difference between people want.
One person is striving in the deen and doing very well in the deen.
Other people are just sort of just lazy. Why is that? Because they
have no motive and they don't view Allah to Allah relative to their
motives that Allah Tada says, love me for the good things that I
bestowed upon you. So what is he done, he's tied our perception of
him with our motivations in life. It's not just afterlife, it's life
and afterlife. And I never separate between goals of life
versus goals of afterlife. Because if you go to Allah, for your goals
of this life, you will end up transforming. And you will get
your goals of this life and you will be transformed into somebody
who will get something spiritual as well. Allah will not leave you
to just you know, you came to him with defects, we all come to him
with defects, but we want something if we come to Him, He
will transform us. And we will get what we were motivated for. Now
what is the motivation? Allah says in the Quran, they call upon their
Lord out of fear and desire. That's what it is. All right, our
motivations are fear for our own well being desire for something
that makes us happy. I mean, what else do people desire other than
to feel good and be happy. And of course there is in Hadith, the
prophesy centum said, eventually a person loves Allah Tada, you see,
you focus on the giver, more than the gifts, but sometimes out of a
motivation. You need to stoke your motivation a little bit by
thinking about the gifts and good, but no normal human being goes to
Allah for a gift receives it,
and then doesn't change regarding the giver, you start to love the
giver, more than ever before. And that's why when we look at
motivation, we're really looking into ourselves, what is it that we
fear or desire? And by constantly bringing that up, you know, it's
okay, it to me, right? Or the two words that you know, the thought
is to bring up the image of this thing. And to Mo is to contemplate
it? How great is it how much I want it, how my life is going to
transform. But then the next step is, well, who has it? Allah has?
It's an Allah's hands config. Cool. All right, so now I've moved
now how do I interact with Allah interact with a lot by fulfilling
the acts of worship that he wants us to fulfill him by asking him,
but Ramadan is the feast of all this, because there are 60 times
throughout this month, where dua is guaranteed
the 30 times of the soul, given it's assuming they're 30 days of
the month, it could be 39 or 29, sorry, 30 or 29.
That every soul and right before every fast, our dua is accepted.
So if we want that, then we need to do the nights worship well, and
we need to fast well, so that the the to do is will be answered.
What is the wisdom of fasting?
Well, if you can go without food and water, he can go without
anything, including our sense. I mean, nobody has a sin that's more
important than food and water. Even a drug dealer, or drug
addict, I'm sorry, he's gonna care for water eventually, at some
point, what is going to be more valuable to him than his drugs?
Right? So but if you have controlled your stomach, you can
control anything, whether it's your mind, whether it's your ego,
what no matter what it is. So that's one of the wisdoms of
fasting in that if you can control your stomach, you can control your
ego, you can control yourself. And if you can control yourself, what
do we call that? We call that discipline? Discipline is
the ability to give yourself a command, and then to follow
through with it. That's how simple it is to give yourself in order to
do it. I'm going to wake up at this time and do XY and Z. I'm
going to go to work. I'm never going to be late for work and we
go go 10 minutes
Early every time it's ever late, I'm going to study in advance. I'm
gonna do this that. That's discipline. So, one of the wisdoms
of fasting is discipline.
Another wisdom of fasting
is that it gives us belief that we can overcome our sense, most
people actually don't have the belief that they could overcome
their demons, their addiction or sin is so in control of them. And
they've just, that's all they know, there is a life of addiction
or a life of being controlled by the substance or habit. Okay? And
they don't know any other life. While Ramadan comes to prove to
you know, you can do it, you went without food and water for 30 days
straight in the daytime. If you have that kind of discipline you
do so it's really about inculcating the belief based upon
demonstration, you have demonstrated the ability to avoid
a certain act or certain sin, alright. And as a result of that,
you should now have the self belief that overcoming an
addiction is, is something that you can do. And whenever you look
at people with addictions, and one of the first things is the self
belief, right? That this is doable, this is something that can
be done. Right, they then take it to they combine it by also we
combine it into Islam, I don't even know about you know, the AAA
methods, but, but I know that in Islam, we combined we do not
separate between the sense of self will and willpower, and that
everything is in Allah's hands. Right. So we our willpower is to
put ourselves in Allah's hands, and then believe and believe that
Allah Tada can change our situations. So demonstrating to
ourselves that we fasted is meant to prove to ourselves the
durability of getting rid of any other addiction or sin, which is
extremely important. If you want your life to be good. We need to
win those battles.
And put ourselves in Allah's hands so he can deliver us.
The reward of fasting is very unique, because fasting is a
negative action. It's something that you do not do, right, it's
not doing something unlike every other act like Salah is getting
up, it's making hedges movings, occa is paying, but soem is not
engaging in XY and Z acts, right? It's not eating, drinking and
having sexual *. So because it's something that is a
negative action where you can't measure a negative, right. And
that negative action produces a hunger, which is a type of pain,
hunger and pain cannot be measured as a result of that. Allah's fair,
so its reward likewise has no measure. That's the unique thing
about fasting. And that's why one of the times that the prophets I
sent him said that dua is answered is upon breaking your fast because
your DUA Salam cannot be measured. And as the results you know, what
is it that makes a person happy happiness really can be hard to
measure that too. So Allah rewards like with like that which cannot
be measured also with that, that cannot be measured.
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 a fast intentionally so you have to do
certain fasts or the kuffaar 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, you're modifying the ninth of the Hijjah This is the greatest
day of the year, of course, Laylat al Qadr. 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 Hajj. If
you're not on Hajj, 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 fast shoot 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
I look at the the gradation of the law coming in. Alright, 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 li MLBs 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. 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, dude, Ali salah.
The Forbidden fast is it forbidden? Is it ever forbidden to
pass? Yes, it is. It's actually forbidden to fast on the two days
of aid. Okay, the two aids, which are of course, the AIDS filter,
and Aidan Aha, the first of Chawan and the 10th of the hedgehog. Were
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 I've
looked at through acts of worship must be done with certainty, not
with doubt.
Recommended things may have doubted right. But obligatory acts
of worship can not be done with 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 and
Thursday, then you can fast no problem.
The preconditions of fasting are number one below that the person
is reached the age of maturity. And that's by puberty. And the
idea.
Second is clear that the person is capable. Now, let me backtrack to
blue. If a person has some kind of a sickness, and they don't reach
blue, like they have no signs of puberty on them, then the age for
that is
18.
Then Quadra is ability, meaning the absence of sickness, absence
of pregnancy, absence of breastfeeding, right absence of
like old age, which is weakness, right.
So that's, that's good. And then the third one is Hello, that
you're present. All right, namely, that you're not traveling.
There are essentially only two pillars to fasting. And they are
intention
and abstinence from what we call Mufti rots, you see the word
if.in. There, it moved it out is that which would break the fast.
So let's talk first about the intention, you we have to make the
intention that we are fasting the month of Ramadan, and that
intention done once is sufficient. And you do that at the beginning
of the month before the first day of fasting, so So who would have
the first day of fasting, okay, you make the intention for the
entire month. But if you travel, you would need to make the
intention and we're going to discuss this in this section on
travel, you need to make the intention that I'm going to be
fasting or I'm not going to be fasting on this day. And when you
come back you need to redo the intention that you will be fasting
from here on out.
And then absence sorry, abstinence did I say absence abstinence from
lifted rot, which means the that you are avoiding these things that
we're going to discuss that break the fast.
All right, these are the most rocks or the Nullifiers that which
nullifies your fast so let's take a look at these. The first one is
fluid that enters the throat or the stomach by any means.
If fluid enters your throat or your stomach, it could enter for
example, a droplet of vapor if you sniff it up, it could form a drop
in your throat and come down into your throat or if anything enters
your stomach. I don't know how a fluid would enter your stomach. I
don't think through an enema. an enema if you don't know what it
is. It's when people have
Constipation, they actually, you know, through their backside,
flush up water, no doubt, I highly doubt that that water reaches the
stomach. But in any hypothetical scenario, fluid entering the
throat or stomach by any means would break the fast,
solid,
something solid reaching the stomach through the throat would
break the fast sexual *, even if no climax. So what is the
definition of sexual *, the head of the male organ with
the penis, entering into the *, regardless
of climax or no climax, if that happens, then the person has
broken their fast
and intentional release of many or many, many is seeming and many is
pre seminal fluid. So if you intentionally take an action, such
as looking at something touching somebody, right, and you cause
your sexual fluids to come out.
But that's an act that you did intentionally, you broken your
fast.
Intentional vomiting breaks the fast,
intentional inhaling of vapor or steam. So that's really like
number one because you intentionally inhale that, okay,
you're gonna cause a droplet of fluid to enter your throat. And
then to go down, they did say that there is an exception. What is
exception, it's the exception being the shower, because it's
unavoidable, and nobody expects anyone to take baths in the month
of Ramadan is no time for that. So
even a bath, I mean, there's steam coming out. So that's
something that would break is an exception. There are other things.
For example, a man may kiss his wife, a wife may kiss your
husband, as long as it's not the kiss that would cause a release of
sexual fluids. Because a man, you know, could do that. And then he
caused Maeby precentral foods come out when he broke her fast.
Another question that comes up is what about an inhaler? Right, the
inhaler is something that there are two types for it. And the rule
of fasting is that it's the entrance of this vapor into the
throat, it doesn't matter whether it goes down the oxygen, like the
windpipe, or the actual throat, anything that goes to the back of
the mouth. That's the medulla or the
the, you know, the focal point, it doesn't matter which windpipe or
throat it goes down. So
the inhaler that is the irregular use inhaler will break the fast
the emergency inhaler some of these have had some leeway with
the
emergency inhaler, because it's something that is an emergency.
Other questions that came up on this is the vaccines that if you
if you take something in your muscle
or if you were have blood drawn, that in itself would not break the
fast. However, on that day, if you had done something that would
cause you to be dizzy or sick, if you voluntarily did it on that
day, you're liable to finish that day of fasting. Now you break your
fast, you fulfilled the fasting day, and you're sick now. Now you
you may break your fast tomorrow as a sick person.
But on the day that you take it, you have to fulfill your fast.
Another major thing is mouth cleansing agents. So do I brush my
teeth or not? Well, here's the word. Any mouth cleaning agent
that passes the nostrils and reaches just the beginning of the
throat you're liable. So if a person is going to do this,
they've got to do it so quickly and so superficially that there's
not a chance that the mouthwash or the mouth cleaning agent passes
the nostrils and reaches the beginning of the throat because
that's where you're liable and you will have been considered someone
who broke their fast alright, what if I accidentally ate well we're
going to cover that later but accidental eating it does not
break the fast but it requires a makeup so it is considered that
you do oh a makeup day if you accidentally eat or drink you do
oh a makeup day, but you're not sinful and you should continue
fasting that day.
And inshallah even like the you'll get the reward. But you do Oh, a
makeup day. It's almost like you sent your check your rental check
your rent to the landlord, but there was something wrong with the
check. So he sends it back. He doesn't find you or anything but
you got to send him the right check back.
Let's now look at the Sooners. Now the first son is one of the
greatest wonders and that is so and so who is something that the
prophets I send them established as a mercy for the believer. It
was really established by Allah in the Quran as a mercy to the
believers because
The original day of fasting was
from Asia, you had to stop eating all the way to the next maguet
Right? So you had to fast a lot more than what we fast then people
were fainting and then Allah came down with the dispensation that we
may eat all the way up till the first light and that's the
blessing of support now so who would be basically getting up 3040
minutes maybe an hour before fetch and you're having a pre Dawn meal
and it is also recommended that a person stop before about 15
minutes before fed so that they can do some prayer some a bad and
this is a lost son a really people eating right to the last minute.
This is not good. There's there's something called M sack which
means to withhold from eating. Alright, when do we withhold from
eating we withhold from eating, but like is it 1520 Is the profit
I said in a hadith, the time it would really take you to read 50
is of Quran which made me 1015 minutes right. So there for you
can take advantage of the DUA. Right, you want to spend this 30
amazing days of acceptance of dua. Now, if you're up at this hour,
which we call the 200. The Sahara the last PSA is the time the last
slice of night before the day, the first light. That time period is
so sacred year round for the acceptance of prayers. It's
multiplied now in the month of Ramadan.
Okay, so you can imagine so why waste that? eating so much and
then
risking maybe eating into the time for fetch, right? So that's a
problem. So you don't want to go there. So observe in sec, in in
your school.
Secondly, the Duat before breaking the fast, this is a gift another
sacred gift that Allah has given us. If I was to give you, you
know, gift card, Amazon gift card as a present, and I see you
sort of just like you forgot it at the masjid. Right? And I'm like,
Hey, bro, you forgot that gift I gave you is not really a big deal.
How offensive is that? Allah has given you a gift. He's, he's
accepting your prayers. That's the whole and then right before
breaking the fast. So respect this gift, take it seriously. And think
and contemplate well in advance. What is it that you're going to
say in those periods of time? When you have an audience in front of a
king, you're you rehearse you ask you ask the ministers What do I
say? What is he like? Right What words could I say that make him
happy make him pleased. So likewise, there are certain things
you prayer for your parents prayer for the week Muslims prayer for
religious guidance, Allah loves these things. Then when you have
asked those, you've like softens the matter of your path. Now you
can ask for what your your heart desires, okay? Because there's
what your mind knows is good, and what your heart wants, the two
things are different. Right? Your heart knows that we should be
asking for you know, do out for people who are more in need of us
and for our own religious guidance. Allah loves this and we
should make Allah and His messenger now our heart truly
desires something else. So we must put first what our mind knows is
right and then what our heart seeks and desires
total we there's a whole slide on that but today we his just any
amount of extra prayers after Isha counts as tolerated. That's the
summary of it and the prophesy centum said, Whoever prays Tada,
we, the entire month. His sins are forgiven.
Yeah, tick if there's also another slide on that at decaf is wealth
when you're fasting in Ramadan, or outside of Ramadan, you go to a
masjid, really for any period of the night, but preferably from
Maghrib on one day, before moving on one day, until Maghrib, the
next day, to do some attic, that's attic F and the best of attic F is
the last 10 Nights. Now I know that, you know we're recording
this in 2021. And there's the COVID situation so probably no
masajid will be open for attic F but nonetheless, in the future,
they will be in the law. And this is where we'll cover how to do
attic F in a later slide. But that's it. That's a summary of
what attic F is it's not resting at home, at nighttime, when most
people you know, eating sitting with their husband or wife. Okay,
and relaxing and recharging. But no attic F is now spending all
that night in the mosque. And even if you spend a little bit portion
of the night, as long as you you know, the last part of the night
until fetcher. You still have caught it. But nonetheless, the
common practice is
From negative one day until negative the next day, that's one
day. And the best of all, attic F is all the last 10 Nights.
Not delaying breaking the fast. So this is the one sooner that
everyone is very good at when Maghrib comes in, that we break
our fast. Now I'm going to tell you one thing though these apps
that we utilize, I am telling you and I have been told many, many,
many times, they're not always right. So I would wait five
minutes from when the app tells me that Maghrib is in. I always add
five minutes always tell my kids we're adding five minutes and
that way we're 100% Sure, because I think the Mr. The error is not
going to be more than five minutes, the percent error.
The margin of error.
Seeking Laila to calculate its recovery is an amazing night the
prophets I said have said the sign of Laylat or is that
the you wake up the next morning, and the sky is completely clear.
And the sun comes up without race. So when the sun rises, like a
complete circle, right, like a perfect circle, right? There are
no rays out when the sun rises, live, it's a cloud that is one of
the things that Allah has hid. And he's hid it in one of the nights
of Ramadan. And then he narrowed it down for us the last 10 Nights.
Now to down for us even more, the odd days of the last 10 nights or
the odd nights, I should say, of the last 10 and then some people
have really hoped that it's the 27th. So if we are going to take
advantage of it, we're really going to take advantage of all the
last 10 Nights, okay? Because sometimes our even day is another
City's odd day. Right? Because back in the olden days, you could
be in Damascus in the beginning of Ramadan. And you started on
Monday. Well, in the middle of Ramadan, you traveled, let's say
to Jerusalem, there were there weren't phones back in the day you
go to Jerusalem. Well, they started the fest on Tuesday. So
the odds nights are different for both groups. So for us, smarter,
take advantage Alta
giving life to the night of eat. So this is something that many
people don't realize that there are four sacred nights in which
dua is accepted. They are the middle of Shaban Mr. Shaban little
cousin and the two nights of her Eid these nights, some worship
between Phaedra and Aisha and dua before Fajr on these nights is
extremely special. You can't imagine how special they are.
Okay, the DUA in them is accepted. Right when we say accepted, we
mean accepted,
full confidence that Allah accepts those doors.
What's permitted in the month of Ramadan when I'm fasting, you can
use the miswak all day
you can rinse your mouth to cool off
you can break your fast for travel pregnancy illness, old age or
breastfeeding and the travel does not have to be unnecessary travel,
it could be a permitted travel. Let's say your
he works so hard. And you got three days off the only three days
all summer I'm going to be off. I'm taking my family out. All
right.
So for what it's for vacation, and so I take him out to like the
hills, we go some camping or something like that. It's the only
time all year it's fine. It's not something that's like laudable, to
do that in Ramadan, definitely not in the last 10 Nights. But if the
circumstance happens, Allah is merciful, it's permissible to do
that. Therefore, you may break your fast and you just make up
those days later.
Entering federal upon Ginebra what does this mean? That means a man
and his wife, they had * right. At nighttime, when it's
permissible for them to do so. Then they fell asleep. They didn't
take a shower. And they wake up and lo and behold, oh my god, it's
time for so they go straight to school.
Okay, and then they stop eating soda and then the event a federal
goes off, but they're upon Ginebra which means that they have not
taken their house and we explain all this in the playlist on how to
pray. So he asked, Is this okay? What happened is absolutely fine.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Alright, let's talk about traveling. We just mentioned that
the only you know precondition is that it must be for a permissible
purpose. Okay, well, not the only precondition but the nature of the
travel is permissible so you're going to travel across town or you
know neck next state over to Rob a Bank well you have to fast okay,
that's not a permissible traveling but permissible traveling, even if
it's something not laudable sets are not record not, you know,
appropriate, right. I'm not amused.
Say not permissible, it's not appropriate for him not
appropriate to go on vacation during Ramadan. But if that's the
only time that you could go on vacation, it'd be permissible,
right. So you may break your fast, but let's talk about how, okay,
firstly, the distance must be 36 miles or more from your home.
Secondly, to intend the travel and breaking the fast the night
before. So we're not in the middle of the day here and say, Hey, what
do you all think? Let's go down to, you know,
Delaware. I don't know why anyone would go to Delaware. But let's
say hypothetically, it's far more than 36 miles. So in the middle of
the day, we made the decision to go down to Delaware, we go to
Delaware years, you have to fast that day, it's you started the day
already. Once you start the day, you can't pull out the travel
card, you can pull out the sickness card, you can get sick in
the middle of the day, right. But you can't pull out the travel card
in the middle of the day. So if we're going to do this, what I'm
going to do is we're going to intend our travel today.
But we're gonna finish today's fast. And then we're going to
begin our journey before fetcher or the night before so let's say
McGraw Hill, we break our fast premounted him and then we start
traveling
right and then you're driving all day all night and into the next
day then you're good. So you intend to travel and break the
fast in the nighttime.
So once the day comes up, and you're fasting you can't pull out
the Travel Card.
Just keep that in mind
sickness
What a beautiful picture.
Sickness, pregnancy breastfeeding are all one.
Canada is owed for all
that it's just a makeup day. That's it. Now I have something
else to say though. That regular sickness such as a headache, you
cut your thumb and you got you have a fever is sickness. Anything
that we commonly would know is? I'm not well, right. I'm not
normal. I cannot do this. The bar Allah is very generous about this
bar. Okay, but we shouldn't take advantage of it. If you would ask
you know five Muslims who pray and fast Hey, what do you think of
this? Would you consider this a sickness and they would all agree
you know, that's anytime that there is like a doubt and or I
should say a judgment call. What the Muslims the general practicing
Muslims would agree upon is how we would go. So a minor headache
maybe not but a severe headache. Yes. Right. A serious headache.
Yes, we can break the fast for that.
But that is owed for all breastfeeding. If a woman is weak
and she needs to nourish herself. She's going to make up those days.
You might see on the internet rulings and fatawa that she
doesn't have to make up those days she can feed people no that's not
right.
If sickness is permanent Fidelia is owed for each day.
Now if the sickness is permanent though,
you do need a Muslim doctor to tell you that you can
be excused from fasting permanently and that's not so
difficult. So let's say it's something that unless it's
something that's known, it's very well known that it doesn't require
that resemble diabetics.
Your normal some doctor says you're a diabetic Well, it's well
known that I bet it's don't fast. Okay? If I'm not mistaken that's
that's what I know. That makes so fast. They permanently do not
fast. So that's well known but if it's something unique, a unique
case where the doctor says I really don't want you to fast
right and you feel Hey Doc, I feel great. They said No, trust me you
cannot fast so in that situation, you need the stamp of a Muslim
doctor why? Because this has to do with the afterlife anything to do
with the afterlife. You need a Muslim doctor to sign off on it
Fidelia what is failure failure is one meal to a poor Muslim.
Okay, and video you go to your local mosque you put an envelope
and you put it in the box that says video on it. You asked the
authorities there in that mosque How do you facilitate video every
message should facilitate video
and then you just put the envelope there they'll feed the they know
who to feed.
Gotta make up fasts we have to make up our fasting. If we
accidentally or by force eat or drink like what does that mean?
That means I was you know, at the in a situation they took me to the
hospital
I said no, no, no, I don't want to do this. They said, No, you're
taking this and they suffer, you know, some medicine in my throat
or, you know, something like that, where they forced me.
Sounds rare, but it may be it's possible. So accidental or forced
eating or drinking, sickness, travel, pregnancy, breastfeeding,
you make up the day, hide and the FES, which means menstruation and
postpartum bleeding,
fainting and temporary insanity. You break your fast, make up the
day later. Unintentional emission of sexual fluids, that means you
never intended to touch your wife, let's say, but it happened that
the way that you were sitting together
ended up some sexual fluids came out of you, you're forgiven for
that you but you do have to make up the day.
Accidental eating past fetch or breaking before backing up. So you
got your timing rock basically. Right, you accidentally misread
the calendar, for example, you read the previous Monday, let's
say it's Monday,
the 20th and you read the date for Monday, the 13th. So you actually
got the timing off, because it was just a pure accident. You have the
reward, you have everything in the DUA, but you'd still owe a day.
And you have to make up that day later.
Because that is simply making up the day, they do not have to be
consecutive, let's say a woman and menstruation she misses five days,
she does not have to make up five days altogether, she can make up
every Monday or every other day. However, in the chef a school,
they do require that so therefore to be on the safer side, it is
better, more reward if she makes up or he if he was traveling or
sick.
Five days altogether are the days that they owe all in one shot, but
if they don't, it's okay.
kufra what is co founder co founder is essentially the
penalty.
And what is the
when do I have to pay this penalty when I make the intention to break
the fast? So let's say I'm fasting.
And what do I need to break my fast? The intent? Intention is
sufficient to break the fast. Okay, that's all I need intense.
So if I intend to break the fast homeless, I'm not fasting anymore.
Okay. Let's say you're not fasting.
Intentional eating, drinking, emission, sexual emission or
*?
Far off interpretations. Okay, like an interpretation that's
absurd or ridiculous. Someone eats in the middle of Ramadan. It says,
What are you doing? I said, I'm doing what Allah said. Allah says
no, couldn't eat and drink but do not but not to access. Of course,
that's a ridiculous and absurd tafseer or interpretation of that
verse. Because that verses general, the command to fast is
specific. And the specific always overrides the general. Right? What
do you put, when you have pots in your cabinet, you put the big pot
on the small pot, or the small pot inside the big pot? No, that big,
the small pot always goes on top of the big pot. So therefore, the
specific verses always override the general verses. So eat and
drink but not to excess is a general commit. Now it comes in
the middle of Ramadan. So I'm obeying Allah, Allah says he
didn't drink but not to excess. So that's a what we call will diets
were far off interpretation. This person needs
to to make up they're fast. And they have a penalty. The CO Farah
which we're going to explain right now, another far off
interpretation. And I actually saw this and I found it so absurd. I
couldn't believe it was what I was seeing.
It is said that if there's food in your mouth, and you're and the
event goes off, you may swallow it.
Allah does not expect us to spit the food out of our mouth when the
end of February last year in soda, right? There's food in your mouth
that then goes off, you don't spit it out, you've never seen a Muslim
do that. Right? You swallow it.
That has been extrapolated now to you can finish whatever's in your
hand to you can finish whatever's in your plate. Not that's
absolutely far off interpretation. There's no such ruling like that
there is only the ruling that Allah does not expect you to split
anything out, you may swallow what's in your mouth, and you have
not broken your fast. But finishing what's in your hand. Now
it's extended to what's in your plate. I mean, that's very far off
and that will require the cavada because no Muslim with any common
sense will accept that.
Muslims who are hungry they're looking for an excuse. Maybe they
accepted that but you know we That's a cool fun. So what is a
kofod require three things number one, Toba. You have to make
repentance number two you have to make up the day and
Number three, the choice of the following either either feeding 64
Muslims, or fasting two consecutive months, either or you
get the choice. Of course, mostly, we would probably feed 64 muscles,
which is a lot of money because that's
$10 times 660 at $600 per day. Okay, so that's a hefty penalty.
It's not a light penalty. It's like getting a really bad traffic
ticket. Like really bad like three tickets and one
is a cut to fit.
This is the obligation made by the prophets of Allah when he was this
proves that the Prophet peace be upon him does have legal
authority, he may make halal and haram and he did. zucchetti feta
is an obligation that is not in the Quran is solely by the
prophets of Allah when you send them
it's obligatory for every Muslim that has their provisions for the
day.
It's paid by the head of household for his family and those living
with him.
So basically, you know, Man of the House will pay it for on behalf of
his wife and his kids and his mother if she lives with them. And
you know, like a nice if she lives with them, etc. It's one saw,
which is an amount which amounts to kilograms of the staple food
but reality nobody is going around giving people barley and wheat
anymore. You go to someone say, Here's your zuka, and you give him
a bag of bark didn't even know what it is, do I feed this to my
horse? What do I do with this? So we do pay it in cash to the masjid
in the masajid, which is the plural of masjid, who will then
pay it to poor Muslims?
It must be paid before the prayer you have to remember this it has
to be prayed before the prayer.
Yeah, tick F is one of the best things you ever do in your life.
If you ever get a chance to do it, you had to GAAP requires intention
and attic F ultimately is staying in the mosque of guy for a period
of time, a commitment to stay in the mosque for a period of time it
requires intention. It can be any time of the year.
Most recommended in the last 10 nights of Ramadan. It's
recommended to stay from before Melbourne up until after midnight
of the next day. But that you know that's like one full 24 hour cycle
but anytime of the night as long as you catch the feather that is
can be deemed to GIF and it requires fasting. So you have to
fast when you do add to GIF
and it must be in a masjid
because later kodra such an amazing night a lot of people sort
of get overwhelmed. They're wondering oh, what should I say?
Say that Isha Raja lawanna most beloved wife of the prophets of
Allah, he was setting them. She after Santa Khadija, of course.
She asked the messenger What should I say on this night of
little cuddle? And he replied, You should say hola, hola. In Nica I
for one karimun to Hibou la for five one, which means, Oh Allah,
you are forgiving and generous. You love to forgive. So forgive us
and our full it's a word that has a little bit more meaning than
just forgiveness because we have the word of Gulfood. for
forgiveness, we have other words for forgiveness, but I fu it means
that he forgives. He also protects you from falling in the future. So
it's past and future. And that's why it's really superior. It's
such a superior prayer, because it involves forgiveness of our past
and protection towards our future.
