>>Ramadan Questions and Answers by Sheikh Muqbil bin Hadee (rahimahullahu 
>>Ta'la)
>>
>>   Question 1: Is it obligatory that a person makes their intention to 
>>fast (at the beginning of everyday) of the month of Ramadan, or is it 
>>sufficient to have one intention for the full month, and when should one 
>>make their intention to fast?
>>
>>   Answer: The Prophet (sallahu alahee wa salem) said: "Verily all actions 
>>are by their intentions, and everyone will have what he/she intends". This 
>>is a proof of the obligation of having an intention in every action.  So 
>>what is apparent is that a person must intend to fast every individual 
>>day.  This does not mean that one says: I have intended to fast on such 
>>and such day in Ramadan. Rather, what is meant is that he holds the 
>>intention (inwardly).  So in fact, one getting up for suhoor (food eaten 
>>before the entering of fajr), this is considered an intention to fast, and 
>>one abstaining from food and drink, is also considered an intention to 
>>fast. As for the hadeeth: "Whoever sleeps without intending to fast, there 
>>is no fast for him", this is a weak hadeeth. It is from the category of 
>>muttarib (a hadeeth reported in many different ways, all having the same 
>>strength, so none of them can outweigh the other), even if some scholars 
>>consider it to be hasan (acceptable), what
>>  is correct is that it is a muttarib (weak) narration.
>>
>>   Question 2: Are there any specific words for intending to fast, and is 
>>it permissible to make the intention audibly, are there any specific 
>>supplications to be said when breaking ones fast, (if so) does one say 
>>these supplications audibly?
>>
>>   Answer: There are no specific words for intending to fast.  What is 
>>correct is that a person does not verbally intend any form of worship, 
>>even in the affair of Hajj. Those who have mentioned that a person makes 
>>his intention for Hajj audibly, have not brought a proof for this except 
>>what is mentioned from the individual (sahabee) that said: Oh Allah, I am 
>>answering your call on behalf of Shubrumah.  This statement: ..on behalf 
>>of Shubrumah.." can be understood that he is performing the Hajj for 
>>Shubrumah, and Hajj means to intend, and it can also mean that he is 
>>making the intention on behalf of Shubrumah, and in this case it is said 
>>what was mentioned to him by the Messenger -sallahu alaahe wa saleem-.As 
>>for supplications, from the people of knowledge are those that hold this 
>>narration to be authentic: "The thirst has passed, the veins are fed and 
>>the reward is established by the permission of Allah"  But what is 
>>apparent is that there is no specific authentic
>>  supplication.  Although there is an authentic narration: "Verily there 
>>is an answered supplication for the fasting person at the time of the 
>>breaking of his fast" (Based on this) one should supplicate to Allah 
>>seeking His forgiveness and asking from Him a cure, and other then that 
>>from your needs.
>>
>>   Question 3: If a person wakes up after fajr during the first days of 
>>Ramadan and eats, but he does not know that this day is Ramadan, then 
>>later he is informed, is it upon him to fast or not?
>>
>>   Answer: Yes, he must fast and he is not in blame because he thought 
>>that it was still night, so he should fast and his fasting is correct and 
>>accepted.
>>
>>   Question 4: If a person doubts the entering of Ramadan, can he fast the 
>>day before it?
>>
>>   Answer: In the Hanbalee school of thought you have some that hold this 
>>opinion, but what is correct is that he does not fast. This is due to what 
>>is authentically reported from the Messenger (sallahu alaahe wa saleem), 
>>he said: "Do not proceed Ramadan with the fasting of a day or two" and it 
>>is also reported on 'Ammar bin Yaseer that he said: "Whoever fasts the day 
>>of doubt (one day before Ramadan), then he has disobeyed Abu Qasim (The 
>>Messenger) sallahu alaahe wa saleem.  So what is correct is that one does 
>>not fast.  The Messenger -sallahu alaahe wa saleem- also said: "Fast upon 
>>seeing it (crescent of Ramadan), and break your fast upon seeing it 
>>(crescent of Shawal). If you are prevented from seeing it (clouds, fog, 
>>etc.), then complete thirty days of Shaban". So there is nothing (of 
>>doubt) after this clarification.
>>
>>   Question 5: If a person sleeps before the time of breaking the fast and 
>>does not wake until after fajr the next day, is it upon him to continue 
>>his fast or can he break it?
>>
>>   Answer: Upon him is to continue his fast.  This took place with Al 
>>Qaees bin Simrah (companion of the Messenger).  It used to be (in the 
>>beginning of Islam) that if a person slept at night before eating 
>>(breaking of fast), they were not allowed to eat until the following 
>>night.  (Al Qaees bin Simrah) used to work, (one day) he returned to his 
>>wife and asked if there was food present.  She responded in the negative 
>>and said; but I will go and get some for you.  Upon returning she found 
>>him sleeping, she said; you have lost out! Later the following day, after 
>>working for some time he passed out.  After this, the following verse was 
>>revealed by Allah: {It is permissible for you to approach your wives at 
>>night, they are a covering for you and you a covering for them.  Allah 
>>knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He forgave you and pardoned 
>>you. So now have (physical) relations with them and seek what Allah has 
>>ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white thread
>>  is distinct from the black thread} surah al baqarah:187
>>
>>   Question 6: If a person is eating sahoor and he hears the athan (call 
>>to prayer), is it upon him to remove what is in his mouth, or does he eat 
>>it?
>>
>>   Answer: He does not remove what is in his mouth, but he should not eat 
>>anything after that, except (he can) drink water.  This is due to what is 
>>reported in the Sunan of Abee Dawud on the authority of Abu Huraira 
>>-radiyallahu anhu- that the Messenger -salaahu alaahe wa saleem- said: "If 
>>the athan is called while one of you still has a drinking vessel in his 
>>hand, then let him take his need (from the vessel)." Therefore, there is 
>>no sin on the one that hears the athan and drinks, with the condition that 
>>the water is in his hand.
>>
>>   Question 7: Is there anything authentically reported informing of the 
>>merits of a person dying in this month, and this shows the piety of the 
>>deceased?
>>
>>   Answer: There is something reported, but it is not authentic
>>
>>   Question 8: What is the ruling on a pregnant female who breaks her fast 
>>in Ramadan in fear of her baby or a female who is breastfeeding and fears 
>>for her child?
>>
>>   Answer: The scholars disagree in this regard. From them are those who 
>>hold the opinion that she must make up the fast. Others hold that she must 
>>make up the fast and make an expiation. Others hold that she does not make 
>>up the fast, but instead she makes the expiation.  And others hold that 
>>neither making up the fast nor an expiation is upon her.  They (the last 
>>opinion) use as a proof the hadeeth of Anas bin Ka'b al Kalbee.  In this 
>>hadeeth Anas came (as a traveler) to the Messenger -sallahu alaahe wa 
>>saleem- and the Messenger ordered him to eat.  He replied: I am fasting. 
>>The Messenger then said: "Do you not know that Allah has dropped half the 
>>prayer for the traveler and He also dropped the fasting for the pregnant 
>>and breastfeeding female" They use this as a proof to say that she neither 
>>makes up the fast, nor does she pay an expiation.  But what is apparent 
>>and more correct in my opinion, is that she must make up the fast, without 
>>the expiation and there is no reward
>>  in an expiation (due to the fact that it's not obligatory). So it's upon 
>>her to only make up the fast due to the statement of Allah: {So whoever is 
>>ill or on a journey, then upon him is to make up other days} surah al 
>>baqarah:184
>>
>>   Question 9: What is the ruling on a female who receives her menses a 
>>few mintues before breaking her fast?
>>
>>   Answer: It is upon her to make up that day of fasting if the caller of 
>>the athan calls the athan at the correct time. But if the sun sets and she 
>>receives her menses thereafter, but if the caller of the athan does not 
>>call to prayer except in the manner of the She'at, after the sky has 
>>become dark, then her fast is accepted that day and she does not have to 
>>make it up.
>>
>>   Question 10: What is the ruling on a woman who breaks her fast during 
>>Ramadan due to child birth?
>>
>>   Answer: She makes up the fast
>>
>>   Question 11: What is the ruling of a woman who broke her fast a day or 
>>two before childbirth due to the appearance of a portion of blood?
>>
>>   Answer: If only a portion of blood appeared, then this is considered 
>>the blood of nifas (blood of childbirth), and she must make up the days.
>>
>>   Question 12: What is the ruling for a person who breaks his fast due to 
>>a continuous illness over a period of several years?
>>
>>   Answer: If the doctors have diagnosed that this illness will not be 
>>cured; and verily Allah is the one who cures, and it's possible someone is 
>>sick and the doctors conclude that this illness will not be cured, then 
>>the person becomes cured by Allah, the Highest and Exalted.  But if it is 
>>concluded that this illness will not be cured, then there is no problem 
>>for this person, they should feed a poor person a day based, on the 
>>statement of Allah: [and it is upon the one who can fast (with 
>>difficulty), to feed a poor person (each day)} surah al baqarah:184. Anas 
>>bin Malik, upon becoming old, used to feed a poor person everyday.
>>
>>   Question 13: What is the ruling on using the following things during 
>>the day in the month of Ramadan:
>>   - the siwak
>>   - tooth paste
>>
>>   Answer: As for using the siwak made from roots, then there is no 
>>problem is doing this, even if it is green.  As for tooth paste, I would 
>>advise that this is left off during the month of Ramadan.  I do not have a 
>>proof that informs that the usage of tooth paste breaks the fast, but (if 
>>one does decide to use it) he/she should be very careful that it does not 
>>enter the stomach.  The Messenger -salaahu alaahe wa saleem- said:
>>   "... and perform the istinshak (pulling the water into the nose during 
>>abulution) strongly, except if one is fasting"  This is because, if one is 
>>fasting, it is feared that the water will enter into the stomach.
>>
>>   Translator: There are over 30 more questions. InshAllah, we hope to be 
>>able to translate them within the next 5 days.  Also, the questions asked 
>>to the scholars this week will also be sent within the next 5 days 
>>inshAllah.
