HASTENING TO BREAK THE FAST

Sahl ibn Sa’d reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “People will continue in goodness as long as they hasten to break their fast.” {Al-Bukhārī #1957}

Anas ibn Malik narrated: "The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ used to break his fast before praying ˹maghrib˺ with some fresh dates; but if there were no fresh dates, he had a few dry dates, and if there were no dry dates, he took some mouthfuls of water." {Abū Dāwūd #2356}

The scholars have mentioned some reasons why it is recommended to hasten to break the fast, including the following: 

1⃣. To be different from the Jews and Christians.

2⃣. To follow the Sunnah.

3⃣. It is kinder to the fasting person and gives him more strength for worship.

4⃣. To hasten to eat that which ALLĀH has permitted to him, for ALLĀH is generous and the one who is generous likes to see people enjoying his generosity. So HE likes HIS slaves to hasten to enjoy that which ALLĀH has permitted to them as soon as the sun sets.

5⃣0⃣ QUESTIONS REGARDING THE FAST OF RAMADĀN

THE LENGTH OF TIME BETWEEN PROHET 'ISA AND PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON THEM)

ALLĀH says;

يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ قَدْ جَاءكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ عَلَى فَتْرَةٍ مِّنَ الرُّسُلِ
O People of the Scripture! Now has come to you OUR Messenger making ˹things˺ clear unto you, after a break in ˹the series of˺ Messengers,

ALLĀH is addressing the People of the Book -- the Jews and the Christians, saying that HE has sent HIS Messenger Muhammad to them, the Final Prophet, after whom there will be no Prophet or Messenger. Rather, he is the Final Messenger who came after a long time passed between him and 'Isa, son of Maryam, peace be upon them.

There is a difference of opinion about the length of time between 'Isa and Muhammad.

Abu Uthman An-Nahdi and Qatadah were reported to have said that; 'this period was six hundred years.'

Al-Bukhari also recorded this opinion from Salman Al-Farisi.

Qatadah said that; 'this period was five hundred and sixty years',

Ma'mar said that: 'it is five hundred and forty years.'

Some said that this period is six hundred and twenty years.

There is no contradiction here if we consider the fact that those who said that this period was six hundred years were talking about solar years, while the second refers to lunar years, since there is a difference of about three years between every one hundred lunar and solar years. As in ALLĀH's statement,

وَلَبِثُوا فِي كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلَثَ مِايَةٍ سِنِينَ وَازْدَادُوا تِسْعًا
And they stayed in their Cave three hundred years, adding nine. (18:25)

meaning, nine more lunar years to substitute for the difference between lunar and solar years, thus agreeing with the three hundred years that the People of the Book knew about.

We should assert again that the time period we mentioned here was between 'Isa, the last Prophet to the Children of Israel, and Muhammad, the Last Prophet and Messenger among the children of Adam.

In the Sahih collected by Al-Bukhari, Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said,

"I, among all people, have the most right to the son of Maryam, for there was no Prophet between him and I."

This Hadith refutes the opinion of Al-Qudai and others, that there was a Prophet after 'Isa called Khalid bin Sinan.

ALLĀH sent Muhammad after a period of time during which there was no Prophet, clear path, or unchanged religions. Idol worshipping, fire worshipping and cross worshipping flourished during this time. Therefore, the bounty of sending Muhammad was the perfect bounty at a time when he was needed the most.

Evil had filled the earth by then, and tyranny and ignorance had touched all the servants, except a few of those who remained loyal to the true teachings of previous Prophets, such as some Jewish rabbis, Christian priests and Sabian monks.

ADMINISTERING AN INJECTION FOR THE INDIVIDUAL WHO IS FASTING.

Q7: Can injections be administered while fasting?

Correct Option: Yes, injections are allowed except injections that contains nourishment.

It is permissible for a fasting person to take medicine by injection, whether intramuscular (injected through the muscle) or intravenous (injected through the veins), during the day in Ramadān. However, it is not permissible for the fasting person to be given an injection for nourishment purposes during the day in Ramadān.

It says in Fatāwa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah li’l-Ifta’ (10/252): "It is permissible to receive medicine by injection into a muscle or vein, for one who is fasting, during the day in Ramadān. But it is not permissible for one who is fasting to receive an injection of nutrients during the day in Ramadān, because that comes under the same ruling as consuming food and drink, so using such injections is regarded as a trick to break the fast in Ramadān. If it is possible to give the intramuscular or intravenous injection during the night, that is better."

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymīn was asked about the ruling regarding the effect of medical injections on the fast during the daytime of Ramadān and he said:

"Medical injections are of two types. The purpose of one of them is nourishment and to sustain the body without the need of eating and drinking, because it has the same meaning. Therefore, this type breaks the fast, because of the texts of the Islamic law, if the meaning which they contain is present in any form, then this form is given the ruling of that text.

In reference to the second type, it is the injection that does not nourish. This means that it is not a substitute for eating and drinking. This type does not break the fast because the text does not relate to it in wording or meaning. For it is not food or drink, nor does it have the meaning of food or drink. The basic principle is that the fast is correct until it is confirmed that something corrupts it according to the evidence of the Islamic law." {Fatāwa Islāmiyah (3/268)}

ALLĀH knows best.

ACTS OF GENEROSITY TO CONSIDER DOING DURING RAMADĀN

To make the most of the blessings of generosity in Ramadān, consider these acts:

• Visit your neighbour – Offer assistance, particularly to those who are elderly, the needy and the sick. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Guiding a lost man through the land is your charity. Lending your eyesight to a man who cannot see well is your charity. Removing rocks, thorns, and bones from the road is your charity." {al-Tirmidhī #1956}

• Feed the poor – Donate to charities that distribute meals during Ramadān. ALLĀH says regarding the righteous: "...and they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive." {Al-Insān || Verse 6}

• Provide Iftar – As the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever feeds a person breaking his fast will earn the same reward as him, without anything being lessened from the reward of the fasting person." {At-Tirmidhi #807}

• Support orphans – The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” while holding two fingers together. {Al-Bukhārī #5659}

• Smile! – Even a smile is considered an act of generosity as the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned: "Smiling in the face of your brother is your charity." {al-Tirmidhī #1956}

In conclusion, we should not consider any act of charity to be meager, as what really matters is our sincerity in giving, not its quantity, ALLĀH said:

لَن یَنَالَ ٱللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَاۤؤُهَا وَلَـٰكِن یَنَالُهُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ مِنكُمۡ
Their meat will not reach ALLĀH, nor will their blood, but what reaches HIM is piety from you. {Al-Hajj || Verse 37}

Hasan al-Basri said, "The intention has a further reach than the deeds." {Kitab az-Zuhd of Imam Ahmad #1626}

May ALLĀH enable us to reach the blessed month of Ramadān and grant us the ability to maximize our rewards during it.

PARADISE SURROUNDED BY HARDSHIP, HELLFIRE BY DESIRES

Abu Hurayrah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"Hellfire is veiled by lusts, and Paradise is veiled by hardships." {Al-Bukhārī #6122}

COMMENTARY:
The path to Paradise is surrounded by things disliked by human, because the human soul is naturally inclined towards comfort and ease. Likewise is Hellfire; no one will enter it except those who tear the screen between them and the Fire; by committing sins and distancing themselves from the obedience to ALLĀH. Whoever tears the screen reaches what is behind it. The screen of Paradise is torn by venturing into difficulties; while the screen of the Hellfire is torn by satisfying lusts and desires.

Difficulties include striving to perform acts of worship regularly and patiently bearing any hardship that they involve. Difficulties also include suppressing anger, pardoning and forgiving others, forbearance, giving charity, doing good to those who do bad to you, restraining the self from following lusts, and so on. The self may dislike praying regularly because of what it involves of exerting effort and interrupting worldly affairs that the self indulges in. Similarly, it may dislike Jihad; it may dislike spending in charity because it is naturally disposed to love money. If the person controlled his lusts and went against what his soul desires; by obeying ALLĀH and avoiding what HE prohibited, this would draw him closer to Paradise and farther away from the Hellfire.

Apparently, the lusts that surround the Hellfire are the prohibited lusts, such as drinking alcohol, adultery and fornication, gazing at non-related women, backbiting, using musical instruments, and the like.

As for the permissible desires, they do not fall under the category of this Hadīth. However, indulging in them is disliked lest it would lead to committing a prohibited act or lest it hardens the heart or distracts it from worship and doing good deeds, or lures it into concern for acquiring the pleasures of this world.

HAVE YOU MADE UP YOUR MISSED FASTS?

Sometimes we cannot fast during Ramadān due to reasons like illness, travel, or menstruation. ALLĀH is Most Merciful and allows us to make up missed fasts outside of Ramadān.

Making up missed Ramadān days is obligatory but can be done anytime before the next Ramadān as ALLĀH says: "...but whoever is ill or on a journey, then ˹let them fast˺ an equal number of days ˹after Ramaḍān˺." (2:185)

It says in Al-Mawsu'ah Al-Fiqhiyyah (28/76): "Making up missed Ramadān fasts may be done at any time but the majority limited it to a specific time, which is before the next Ramadān comes, because 'Aishah (may ALLĀH be pleased with her) said: 'I would owe fasts from Ramadān and I would not be able to make them up until Sha'ban, because of attending to the needs of the Prophet (ﷺ).' Similarly the first prayer should not be delayed until the time of the next prayer."

May ALLĀH make it easy and accept from us.

THE IMPORTANCE OF FRIDAY

Aws ibn Aws (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The best of your days is Friday. On that day Adam (peace be upon him) was created; on that day he died; on that day the Trumpet will be blown and on that day all of creation will swoon. So send a great deal of blessings upon me, for your blessings will be shown to me.” {Abu Dāwūd #1047}

Abu Hurayrah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said: “The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On it Adam was created, on it he was admitted to Paradise and on it he was expelled therefrom.” {Muslim #1410}

This hadith includes some of the reasons why Friday is regarded as special.

Al-Nawawi (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said in his commentary on Sahih Muslim: “Al-Qadi ‘Iyad said: The apparent meaning is that these virtues do not mean that Friday is regarded as special because Adam was expelled on a Friday and the Hour will begin on a Friday. Rather it is meant to explain what momentous events took place and will take place on this day, so that people will make the most of this day to do righteous deeds, so as to attain the mercy of ALLĀH and ward off HIS punishment.  This is the view of al-Qadi.

Abu Bakr ibn al-‘Arabi said in his book al-Ahwadhi fi Sharh al-Tirmidhi: All of these events are good and add to the virtue of Friday. The expulsion of Adam from Paradise is the reason why his offspring and the messengers, the Prophets, the righteous and the awliya exist. He was not expelled from it as such, but rather it was for a purpose, then he will return to it. With regard to the Hour beginning on a Friday, the reason is so that the reward may be hastened for the Prophets, believers in truth, awliya and others, and their honour and high status may be made manifest. This hadith points to the virtues of Friday and its high status in relation to the other days.”

FASTING IN SHA'BĀN IS BETTER THAN FASTING IN THE SACRED MONTHS

Al-Hafiz Ibn Rajab (may ALLĀH have mercy upon him) said: "Fasting in Sha’bān is better than fasting in the Sacred Months, and the best of voluntary fasts are those that are ˹observed in the months˺ closest to Ramadān, before or after. The status of these fasts is like that of al-Sunan al-Rawātib which are done before and after Fardh (obligatory prayers) and which make up for any shortfall in the number of obligatory prayers. The same applies to fasts observed before and after Ramadān. Just as al-Sunan ar-Rawātib are better than other kinds of voluntary prayers, so fasts observed ˹in the months˺ before and after Ramadān are better than fasts at other times." {Lata'if al-Ma'arif}

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymin (may ALLĀH have mercy upon him) said: "That is so because it acts like al-Rawātib when done prior to the obligatory prayer." {Sharḥ Riyādhus-Saliḥīn Riyadhus-Saliheen}

VIRTUES OF THE MONTH OF SHA’BĀN

Sha'bān is the eighth Islamic month that comes between Rajab and Ramadān. Sha’bān is an introduction to the month of Ramadān and just like Ramadān – fasting and recitation of the Qur'ān has been prescribed within it to meet Ramadān by having ourselves prepared in obedience to the Most Merciful and it is also the month in which people's deeds are taken up to ALLĀH.

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to fast frequently during this month. The number of fasts he used to observe in this month was more than any other month except for the month of Ramadān.

In a narration by the mother of the believers, A'ishah (may ALLĀH be pleased with her), she said; "I never saw the Prophet (ﷺ) fasting in a month so profusely as he did in the month of Sha’bān. He used to fast in that month leaving only a few days, rather, he used to fast almost the whole of the month." {Bukhari #1833, Muslim #1956}

In another narration, Usama ibn Zaid (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reports that he asked the Prophet (ﷺ) "O Messenger of ALLĀH, I have seen you fasting in the month of Sha’bān so frequently that I have never seen you fasting in any other month." The Prophet (ﷺ) replied: "That (Sha’bān) is a month between Rajab and Ramadān which is neglected by many people. And It is the month in which people’s deeds are taken up to the Lord of the Worlds, and I would like my deeds to be taken up whilst I am fasting." {An-Nasā’i‌  #2357}

So it is clear from the above narrations that this is indeed a very special month and it is highly recommended to fast as much as possible.

It is also said that the month of Rajab is the month for planting seeds, the month of Sha’bān is the month in which you water the seeds, and the month of Ramadān is the month of harvest; wherein the seeds bear fruit. How can we expect the seeds to bear fruit in Ramadān if we do not plant any seeds in the previous months?

However, it should be noted that it is not obligatory to fast during this month. One should only fast during this month if one can do so without bringing any harm to oneself. If one fears that fasting during this month will cause him to lose his strength or freshness of mind for the month of Ramadān then one should refrain from doing so since the obligatory fasts of Ramadān are more important. But still, we should strive to fulfil this Prophetic Sunnah to the best of our abilities, which will, in shā ALLĀH, bring us closer to ALLĀH and prepare us both physically and mentally for the blessed month of Ramadān.

THE DISTINCT STATUS OF THE FASTING INDIVIDUAL AND THEIR FAST

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said:

"The scholars (may ALLĀH have mercy on them) stated that: fasting is the secret between the servant and his Lord. So ALLĀH has specified it from amongst all the other actions, for HE said:
 
"Fasting is for ME; and I shall grant reward for it." {Al-Bukhārī #7492, Muslim #2701}

So every action is for the person except for fasting – for it is for ALLĀH, and the scholars have interpreted this hadīth in that the righteous actions other than fasting can be taken from in the settlement of accounts in ˹the Hereafter˺ for the one who is oppressed – if it is the case that the worshipper had oppressed someone – with the exception of fasting. It cannot be taken from in the settlement of accounts because ALLĀH said:
 
"It is for ME and I shall grant reward for it."" {Al-Bukhārī #1761, Muslim #2701}

ALLĀH TREATS THE SERVANT AS THE SERVANT TREATS OTHERS

ALLĀH says: "Is there any reward for goodness except goodness?" {Ar-Rahman || Verse 60}

"The reward of an evil deed is an evil one like it." {Ash-Shūrā || Verse 40}


Abdullah ibn Amr (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "Whoever would love to be delivered from Hellfire and admitted into Paradise, let him meet his end with faith in ALLĀH and the Last Day, and let him treat people as he would love to be treated." {Muslim #1844}

Abu Huraira (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLĀH will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease one in difficulty, ALLĀH will make it easy for him in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLĀH will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. ALLĀH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother." {Muslim #2699}

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "Do not cause harm or return harm. Whoever harms others, ALLĀH will harm him. Whoever is harsh with others, ALLĀH will be harsh with him." {al-Sunan al-Kubrá lil-Bayhaqī #11384}

Abu Huraira (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A woman entered the Hellfire because of a cat or kitten she had imprisoned. She did not let it eat, nor release it to eat the vermin of the earth, until it died emaciated." {Muslim #2619}


Ibn al-Qayyim (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "For that reason, the recompense of a deed resembles its type of good and evil. Whoever covers the faults of a Muslim, ALLĀH covers his faults. Whoever eases one in difficulty, ALLĀH will make it easy for him in the world and the Hereafter. Whoever relives a believer of hardship in the world, ALLĀH will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever cancels a sale someone later regretted, ALLĀH will cancel his slips on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever seeks the faults of his brother, ALLĀH will seek his faults. Whoever harms a Muslim, ALLĀH will harm him. Whoever is harsh, ALLĀH is harsh with him. Whoever abandons a Muslim in a situation in which he needs support, ALLĀH will abandon him in a situation in which he needs support. Whoever is tolerant, ALLĀH is tolerant with him. The Most Merciful will show mercy to the merciful. Indeed, ALLĀH only has mercy on his merciful servants. Whoever spends in charity, HE will spend on him. Whoever is miserly, HE will be miserly against him. Whoever foregoes one his rights, ALLĀH will forgo one of HIS rights over him. Whoever overlooks people’s faults, ALLĀH will overlook his faults. Whoever searches for faults, ALLĀH will make his faults known. This is the law of ALLĀH, HIS decree, and HIS revelation. HIS reward and punishment are entirely based upon this principle." {Iʻlām al-Muwaqqiʻīn (1/150)}

The reward or punishment we receive from ALLĀH in this world and the Hereafter directly mirrors our conduct towards other people in this worldly life. If we are harsh, cruel, and arrogant, ALLĀH will punish us harshly to humble us. If we are kind, gentle, and humble, ALLĀH will reward us by granting us its equivalent or more in this world and exalting our status in Paradise.

THE PREGNANT WOMAN AND THE BREAST-FEEDING WOMAN'S FAST

Q5: Do pregnant or breastfeeding women have to fast during Ramadān?

Ans: Yes, it's obligatory except if they fear for their health or the fetus.

A pregnant Muslim woman must fast like any other individual, unless it poses a threat to her own health or that of her unborn child, in which case it is allowed for her to abstain from fasting.

Ibn Qudāmah (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "A pregnant woman can only break the fast if she fears for her health or that of the child (not all women react the same way to fasting, it depends on different factors). If this is proven by experience or by the advice of a trusted doctor, she is allowed not to fast and she will have to catch up after childbirth." {Al-Mughni}

Sheikh Ibn Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) was asked: What is due on the pregnant woman and the breast-feeding woman if they break their fasts during Ramadān, and what amount of rice suffices them for feeding poor people?

He said: "It is not permissible for the pregnant woman or the breast-feeding woman to break the fast during the daytime in Ramadān, except with an excuse. If they break their fast with an excuse, it is obligatory on them to make up for the fast, due to the ALLĀH’s Statement concerning the sick person:

فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِیضًا أَوۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرࣲ فَعِدَّةࣱ مِّنۡ أَیَّامٍ أُخَرَۚ
"So whoever among you is ill or on a journey, then ˹he may make up for his fast from˺ a number of other days." {Al-Baqarah || Verse 184}

And these two types of women (i.e., pregnant and breastfeeding) have the same meaning as the sick person.

If their excuse is fear for the child, then they must feed poor people for each day along with making up for the fasts. They may give wheat or rice or dried dates or other things from the food that people eat. Some of the scholars have said that nothing is due on them other than making up for the fasts regardless of the situation, because there is no evidence from the Book and the Sunnah that necessitates giving food (for this). And the basic principle is freedom of responsibility until evidence is established that proves doing. This is the position of Abu Hanifah and it is strong." {Fatāwa Islāmiyah || Page 300}

IF THE DEVILS ARE CHAINED UP, WHY DO WE SEE EVILS AND SINS HAPPENING IN RAMADĀN?

Abu Hurayrah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said: "When Ramadān begins, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are put in chains." {Al-Bukhārī #3277 and Muslim #1079}

"When the first night of Ramadān comes, the devils and mischievous jinn are chained up, and the gates of Hell are closed, and none of its gates are opened. The gates of Paradise are opened and none of its gates are closed…" {At-Tirmidhi #682 and Ibn Majah #1642}


Shaykh Taqiy ad-Din Ibrahim ibn Muflih (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "The devils are put in chains and shackled in Ramadān, according to the apparent meaning of the hadith. Or it may be that what is meant is the mischievous devils, as was stated by Abu Hatim and other scholars. That does not mean that no evil is committed at all; rather evil is reduced, because they are weakened. Imam Ahmad also interpreted this according to the apparent meaning. ‘Abdullah ibn al-Imam Ahmad said: 'I said to my father: We sometimes see the majnun (person who is possessed by jinn) having fits during the month of Ramadān.'

He said: 'This is what the hadith says, and there is no need to argue about it.'" {Masaib al-Insan min Makaid ash-Shaytan || Page 144}

Imam Abul-'Abbas al-Qurtubi (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "If it is said, we often see evils and sins happening in Ramadān; if the devils were chained up no evil would happen.

This may be answered from several angles:

1️⃣. They are only shackled and restrained from those who observe the fast, fulfilling the necessary conditions and adhering to the appropriate etiquette. As for those who do not observe the fast in the proper manner, the Shaytān is not restrained from them.

2️⃣. If we assume that they are chained up and kept away from every person who fasts, that does not necessarily mean that all the devils are chained up and no evil will happen, because there are other causes for the occurrence of evil, other than the devils, such as evil souls, bad customs and traditions, and the devils among mankind.

3️⃣. This is speaking of most of the devils and the mischievous ones among them; as for those who are not described as mischievous, they may not be chained up.

What is meant is that evil is reduced, and this does indeed happen during the month of Ramadān, because the incidence of evil and shameful deeds during this month is little compared to other months." {Al-Mufhim lima Ushkila min Talkhis Kitab Muslim, 3/136}

HELP BREAK FAST, EARN SAME REWARD AND THE BLESSINGS OF THE ANGELS

Zayd ibn Khalid reported:The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, “Whoever helps break the fast of a fasting person, he will have the same reward as him without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person.” {Al-Tirmidhi #807}

Al-Munāwi said: "This hadīth is general in meaning and applies to all who fast, whether they are rich or poor. It also includes relatives and others." {Fayd al-Qadīr, commentary on hadīth #8890}

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) came to the home of Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah, who presented him with bread and olive oil. The Prophet (ﷺ) ate them and he said, “The fasting have broken their fast with you, the righteous have eaten your food, and the angels send blessings upon you.” {Abu Dāwūd #3854}

Not everyone can host large iftar dinners or donate to masjids, but we can still earn rewards for providing iftar in small ways as the Prophet (ﷺ) enjoined charity "...even with half of a date."

BENEFIT 01: REGARDING THE FAST OF THE ONE WHO SIGHTS THE CRESCENT MOON ALONE

● Whoever Sees the Crescent Moon Alone(¹)

Whoever sees the crescent moon alone and his testimony is rejected, the scholars have three opinions regarding his fasting or breaking the fast based on his sighting:

The first opinion: He should fast if he sees the crescent of Ramadān and break the fast if he sees the crescent of Shawwal—secretly—so as not to oppose the community. This is the opinion of Al-Shafi’i, a narration from Ahmad, and the view of Ibn Hazm, based on the saying of ALLĀH: "So whoever among you witnesses the month, let him fast it." (²)

The second opinion: He should fast upon his sighting but should not break the fast (i.e., at the end of the month) except with the people. This is the view of Abu Hanifa, Mālik, and the well-known opinion from Ahmad.

The third opinion: He should not act upon his sighting; rather, he should fast with the people and break the fast with them. This is a narration from Ahmad and was chosen by Shaykh al-Islām, based on his saying ﷺ: "Your fasting is when you all fast, your breaking of the fast is when you all break it, and your Eid sacrifice is the day you offer it." (³) Its meaning is that fasting and breaking the fast should be with the congregation.

I (Abū Mālik) say: The strongest opinion appears to be that he should act upon his sighting for both fasting and breaking the fast—secretly—if it contradicts the people, provided that his fasting does not exceed thirty days. And ALLĀH knows best.

● من رأى الهلال وحده (١)

من رأى الهلال وحده فرُدَّ قولُه، فالعلماء في صومه أو فطره برؤيته ثلاثة أقوال:

الأول: أنه يصوم إذا رأى هلال رمضان، ويفطر الهلال شوال سرًّا لئلا يخالف الجماعية وهذا قول الشافعي ورواية عن أحمد ومذهب ابن حزم، لقوله تعالى: {فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّهۡرَ فَلۡيَصُمۡهُۖ}(٢).

الثاني: يصوم برؤيته، ولا يفطر إلا مع الناس، وهو مذهب أبي حنيفة ومالك والمشهور عن أحمد.

الثالث: لا يعمل برؤيته، فيصوم مع الناس ويفطر معهم، وهو رواية عن أحمد واختاره شيخ الإسلام، لقوله ﷺ: *"صومكم يوم تصومون، وفطركم يوم تفطرون وأضحاكم يوم تضحون"* (٣) ومعناه أن الصوم والفطر يكون مع الجماعة.

قلت: والأظهر أنه يعمل برؤيته فى الصيام والإفطار - سرًّا - إن خالف الناس، ما لم يزد صيامه على ثلاثين يوما، والله أعلم.

PREPARE FOR GENEROSITY!

Charity during the month of Ramadān brings unparalleled rewards. Consider ways you can benefit your community and the Muslim Ummah through charitable acts this Ramadān, and remember that even the smallest act of kindness is considered charity.

Ibn Abbās said: "The Prophet (ﷺ) was the most generous of all the people, and he used to become more generous in Ramadān when Jibrīl (peace be upon him) met him. Jibrīl used to meet him every night during Ramadān to revise the Qur'ān with him. ALLĀH'S Messenger (ﷺ) then used to be more generous than the fast wind." {Al-Bukhārī #6}

Al-Nawawi said: "This hadith teaches us several things, such as that it is recommended to be more generous in Ramadān." {Sharh Muslim (15/69)} 

Therefore, it is prescribed for Muslims to give a great deal of charity throughout the month of Ramadān because giving charity during the month of Ramadān is better than giving charity at other times.

ETIQUETTE OF DEALING WITH DREAMS

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported:

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "When one of you sees a dream that he likes, then it is from ALLĀH he should praise ALLĀH for it and relate it to (others).''

Another narration adds: Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "He should not report it except to those whom he loves. And if he sees one which he dislikes, then it is from the Satan. He should seek refuge in ALLĀH against its evil and should not mention it to anyone. Then it will not harm him.'' {Al-Bukhari and Muslim}

📖 Riyādhus-Saliḥīn: Book 5, Chapter 130, Hadith 841

Hafiz Salahudeen Yusuf said: "These are clear instructions from Messenger of ALLĀH about both good and bad dreams. A good dream means a good news sent by ALLĀH to a person who has seen it. It should be related only to those who are close to his heart and not to such people who may start nourishing malice against him like the brothers of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph). A bad dream should be attributed to Satan and not be described to others because it often causes one to be pessimistic and it may be taken as a bad omen, which is not allowed in Islam. Rather, a man should seek ALLĀH'S Refuge against its evil. And if he puts faith in ALLĀH, no harm will come to him." {Sharḥ Riyādhus-Saliḥīn}

GUIDANCE FROM THE HADITHS:

1⃣. A bad dream, in which a person sees unpleasant and disturbing things, comes from Satan. A good dream, on the other hand, is glad tidings to the believer, and it comes from ALLĀH Almighty.

2⃣ . A bad dream does not harm a person if he does certain things: spitting dryly three times to his left side, seeking refuge with ALLĀH three times from the evil of Satan and the evil of what he has seen in the dream, and turning to the other side. Moreover, if he feels active, he can get up, perform ablution, and pray. He should not relate the dream to anyone or try to interpret it. Whoever does these things will not be harmed by such dreams, ALLĀH Willing.

THE FAST OF THE TERMINALLY ILL PERSON

Q6: What is legislated for the sick person who has no hope of recovery and cannot fast during Ramadān?

Ans: He should feed one poor person for each day in Ramadān.

The sick person who has no hope of recovery and cannot fast during Ramadān has to feed one poor person for each day that he did not fast because ALLĀH says:

وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُۥ فِدۡيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسۡكِينٍۖ
For those who can only fast with extreme difficulty, compensation can be made by feeding a needy person ˹for every day not fasted˺. {Al-Baqarah || Verse 184}

Ibn 'Abbas (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) said: "This refers to the old man or old woman who cannot fast, so for each day they should feed one poor person." {Al-Bukhari #4505}.

The sick person who has no hope of recovery comes under the same ruling as the elderly.

Ibn Qudāmah (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "The sick person who has no hope of recovery should not fast, and for each day he should feed one poor person, because he is like one who is elderly." {Al-Mughni, 4/396}

Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) was asked: If a person recovers from a sickness that the doctors previously stated it was impossible to recover from, and that is after several days of Ramadān have passed, is he required to make up the previous days?

He replied: "If a person does not fast in Ramadān because of sickness for which there is no hope of recovery, either because this is the usual pattern with that sickness or because trustworthy doctors have stated that, then he has to feed one poor person for each day. If he does that, then ALLĀH decrees that he should be healed after that, he does not have to make up the fasts for which he fed the poor, because his duty was discharged when he fed poor persons instead of fasting.

If his duty has been discharged, then it is not followed by another obligation. This is like what the fuqaha' (may ALLĀH have mercy on them) mentioned about a man who is unable to perform the duty of Hajj because of a reason for which there is no hope that it will end, and someone does Hajj on his behalf, then he recovers after that: he does not have to do the obligatory Hajj again." {Majmu' Fatāwa al-Sheikh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn, 19/126}

And ALLĀH knows best.

RAMADĀN: AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE AHEAD IN RACE FOR JANNAH

Abu Huraira (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: There were two men from the tribe of Quda’ah who embraced Islam with the Prophet ﷺ One of them was martyred and the other lived for another year.

Talhah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) said, "I had a dream of Paradise and I saw the one who lived longer enter Paradise before the martyr. I was amazed by that so when I woke up, I mentioned it to the Prophet."

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Did he not fast the month of Ramadān after him? And he performed six thousand or so bowings in prayer throughout the year?" {Musnad Aḥmad #8399}

In a narration by Ibn Majah, the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ said: "The difference between them is greater than the difference between heaven and earth." {Sunan Ibn Majah #3925}

SPECIAL GATE IN PARADISE FOR THE OBSERVERS OF SAWM

Sahl bin Sa'd (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) narrated that Prophet (ﷺ) said: "In Jannah there is a gate which is called Ar-Raiyan through which only those who observe Sawm (fasting) will enter on the Day of Resurrection. None else will enter through it. It will be called out, "Where are those who observe fasting?'' So they will stand up and proceed towards it. When the last of them will have entered, the gate will be closed and then no one will enter through that gate.'' {Muslim}

📖 Riyādhus-Saliḥīn: Book 9, Chapter 217, Hadith 1217

Hafiz Salahudeen Yusuf commented: "This Hadith tells us about the special distinction of those who observe Sawm. "Only those who observe Sawm'' signify the faithful who not only observe Saum during the month of Ramadān but also frequently observe voluntary fasts over and above the obligatory ones, otherwise Sawm of Ramadān are compulsory for every Muslim. Similar is the case of the people of Salat, people of Sadaqah and people of Jihad, who have been mentioned in the preceding Ahadith otherwise all Muslims are on par so far as the Salat, Sadaqah, etc., are concerned."

📖 Sharḥ Riyādhus-Saliḥīn

GUIDANCE FROM THE HADITH:

1⃣. Out of mercy towards fasting people and in honor of them, ALLĀH Almighty has opened to them a gate through which only they will enter.

2⃣. Recompense for a deed is of the same kind of the deed. As fasting people observe their fast exclusively for the sake of ALLĀH Almighty, HE gives them an exclusive reward.

THE OBLIGATION TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE THAT LAA ILĀHA ILLALLĀH

ALLĀH says,

فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ
So know that Laa ilāha illallāh (there is no god worthy of worship except ALLĀH),

With regard to knowledge, it is essential to affirm it in the heart and understand properly what is required of knowledge, and the perfection thereof is to act in accordance with it.

This knowledge that ALLĀH enjoins - namely knowledge of the oneness of ALLĀH - is an individual obligation upon every human, and is not waived for anyone, no matter who he is. Rather each individual is obliged to know that, and the way to know that there is no god but He is by doing the following:

1⃣. The first and greatest way is reflecting upon HIS names and attributes, and HIS actions that highlight HIS perfection, greatness and majesty. That compels one to strive one’s utmost in devotion to HIM and in worshipping the Lord Who possesses perfect names and attributes and to Whom belong all praise, glory, majesty and beauty.

2⃣. Knowing that HE is the only Creator and controller. Thus one may know that HE is the only One Who is deserving of devotion.

3⃣. Knowing that HE alone bestows blessings both visible and hidden, spiritual and worldly. That makes one’s heart be attached to HIM, love HIM and be devoted to HIM alone, with no partner or associate.

4⃣. What we see and hear of the great reward for HIS close friends who affirm HIS oneness, of divine support and blessings in this world; and the punishment for HIS enemies who associate others with HIM. This makes one realise that HE alone is deserving of all worship.

5⃣. Understanding the nature of the idols and rivals that are worshipped alongside ALLĀH and taken as gods, for they are helpless in all aspects, inherently needy and have no power to benefit or harm themselves or their worshippers, or to cause death, give life or resurrect. They do not support those who worship them, and they do not benefit them in the slightest by bringing good or warding off evil. Knowing that leads to knowing that there is no god but ALLĀH, and that all gods besides HIM are false.

6⃣. The Books of ALLĀH are all agreed on that and they all stated it.

7⃣. The elite of creation, who are the most perfect of people in attitude, mature thinking, wisdom, sound judgement and knowledge - namely the Messengers, Prophets and devout scholars - have testified that ALLĀH is one.

8⃣. ALLĀH has established proofs in the universe and in people themselves that offer the greatest proof of HIS oneness and point towards that fact, because of what HE has instilled in them of precise creation and what they reflect of brilliant wisdom and amazing design.

These are the ways through which ALLĀH calls people to the message of laa ilāha illallāh, which HE highlights repeatedly in HIS Book. When a person ponders some of them, he will inevitably develop certain faith and knowledge of that. So how about if he studies all of them, and they all point to HIS oneness and agree on that? The proofs of divine oneness come from all directions, then faith and knowledge of that become deeply rooted in the heart, so that they are like firm mountains that cannot be shaken by doubts or illusions, and they only increase and grow the more one comes across false ideas and specious arguments. Moreover, there is the greatest evidence and the most important matter - which is pondering this mighty Qur’an and reflecting on its verses - because it is the main gateway to learning about divine oneness, and through it one may learn what it says in detail and in general terms, that one cannot learn from any other source.

Blessed is HE who sent down the Criterion upon HIS slave (Muhammad ﷺ) that he may be a warner to the 'Ālamīn (mankind and jinn).

HE to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Who has begotten no son (children or offspring) and for Whom there is no partner in the dominion. HE has created everything, and has measured it exactly according to its due measurements.

Yet they have taken besides HIM gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not ˹power to cause˺ death or life or resurrection.

BELIEF AND GOOD DEEDS ARE WHAT BRING NEARNESS TO ALLĀH

ALLĀH says,

وَمَا أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَادُكُم بِالَّتِي تُقَرِّبُكُمْ عِندَنَا زُلْفَى إِلَّا مَنۡ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا
It is not your wealth or children that bring you closer to US, but it is ˹by being˺ one who has believed and does righteous deeds.

It is not wealth and children that bring a person closer to ALLĀH; rather what brings one closer to HIM is belief in that which the Messengers brought and righteous deeds which are the outcome of faith. It is they who will have a multiple reward with ALLĀH, for each righteous deed brings a tenfold reward, up to seven hundred fold, up to many times more than that, which no one knows except ALLĀH.

وَهُمْ فِي الْغُرُفَاتِ امِنُونَ
and they will dwell secure in the high places in paradise

That is, in lofty places, where they will dwell, feeling secure and safe from any stresses or troubles that could spoil the pleasures and delights that they are enjoying. They will be safe from having to leave it or feeling any grief whilst they are there.

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said: "ALLĀH gives the world to those HE loves and to those HE does not love, but HE only gives faith to those HE loves." {Muʻjam Asa‌mi‌ #342}

Abu Huraira (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, "ALLĀH said: 'And MY servant does not draw near to ME with anything more loved to ME than the religious duties I have obligated upon him. And MY servant continues to draw near to me with nafil (supererogatory) deeds until I Love him...'" {Al-Bukhārī #6502}

📕 Ramadhaan Fataawa

👤 Compiled by Abu Muhammad Ashraf Ibn 'Abdul-Maqsood

Indeed the blessed month of Ramadān passes by just once a year. Its virtues are but plentiful, yet how many Muslims today appreciate this? Further, how many Muslims today are aware of the rulings pertaining to their fast during Ramadān? This important book is a much-needed compilation of fataawa relating to the fast of Ramadhaan and other than it. lt comprises 150 rulings passed by scholars of yester-year and those of today, such as: Shaykhul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah, Shaykh ‘Abdullah Abaa Butayn, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Ibraaheem Aal ash-Shaykh, Shaykh 'Abdur-Rahmān as-Sa'dī, Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn Baaz, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Sālih al-'Uthaymīn (may ALLĀH have mercy on them), and many more.
