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. >> >> Questions taken from Sheikh Muqbil's books at the following link: >> http://www.sahab.net/forums/showthread.php?t=338841 >> >> Mustafa George >> Ruwais, United Arab Emirates >> >> >>--------------------------------- >>Why keep checking for Mail?
