Fasting Ramadan is a Must
• Allah made it obligatory
upon every Muslim to fast
the month of Ramadan .
Allah ,ta^ala ,said in the
Qur’an :

َ ِ ‫علَي ُك َُم‬
َُ ‫الصيَا‬ ََ ‫يَا أَيُّ َها الَّ ِذ‬
ََ ‫ين آ َمنُواَ َُك ِت‬
َ ‫ب‬
Ya ayyuha-lladhina amanu
kutiba ^alaykumus-siyam.

• Ayah 183 of Suratul-

Baqarah means: {He( Allah )
made fasting obligatory
upon you.}

Ramadan – month of happiness
• Fasting the month of Ramadan
was made obligatory during the
month of Sha^ban in the second
year after the immigration.

• Fasting the month of Ramadan is

a great obligation and among the
most important matters of Islam.

• The Muslims look forward to this

month because it is the month of
goodness, obedience, and
blessings for rich and poor.

• The reward multiplies. It is also

the best month of the year, and in
it is the best night of the year,
that is, the Night of Qadr.

The Month of al-Qur’an

Fasting - from dawn to dusk
• Fasting is abstaining from
anything that invalidates the
fast during the day, along
with having made the
intention during the night.

• It is an obligation upon
every pubescent, sane, and
able Muslim to fast.

• However, it is not valid from

the menstruating and
postpartum-bleeding
women.

www.alsunna.org
Sighting the Moon (Hilal)

• Fasting Ramadan becomes

obligatory by one of two
things:

1. Finishing thirty (30) days

of the month of Sha^ban.

2. Seeing the crescent of

Ramadan on the thirtieth
night of Sha^ban
Sighting the Moon (Hilal) َ‫صو ُموا ِل ُرؤيَ ِت ِه‬
ُ

• The Prophet (‫ )عليه الصالة والسالم‬said:

َ‫غ َّم‬ َِ ‫صو ُموا ِل ُرؤيَتِ َِه َوأَف‬

ُ َ‫ط ُروا ِل ُرؤيَتِ َِه َفَإِن‬ ُ
.َ‫ين يَوما‬ ََ ِ‫لَث‬ ََ َ‫علَي ُكمَ فَأَك ِملُوا ِع َدََّة َ شَعب‬
َ َ ‫ان ث‬ َ

Sumu liru’yatihi wa aftiru liru’yatih(i).

Fa’in ghumma ^alaykum, fa’akmilu
^iddata Sha^bana thalathina yawma.

• This Means: "Fast upon seeing the

crescent and break your fast upon
seeing it. If you could not see the
crescent because it was cloudy, then
finish the whole thirty days of
Sha^ban." (Related by al-Bukhariyy and Muslim.)
Sighting the Moon (Hilal) َ‫َوأَف ِط ُروا ِل ُرؤَيَ ِت ِه‬

• The one who sees the crescent

has to fast.

• Moreover, the one who does not

see it, but is informed by a
upright, trustworthy, free
Muslim who does not lie is also
obligated to fast.
– If the moon is not sighted, then
we complete sha^ban as 30 days.

• The Fasting (Syam) has two

integrals (Rukns)

www.alsunna.org
Two Integrals of Fasting
• Fasting has two integrals:

1. The intention in the heart every

day. One intends in his heart, for
example: "I intend to fast
tomorrow to fulfill the obligation
of fasting Ramadan this year,
faithfully and seeking the reward
from Allah.”
• The time of the intention is from
sunset until the Fajr prayer
begins.

2. To abstain from anything that

invalidates fasting, from the
appearance of the true dawn to
the sunset.
The invalidators of the fasting
• The invalidators of the fast are
many. Among them:

• 1. Eating, even if as little as a

sesame seed and drinking, even
if one drop of water or medicine,
while remembering that one is
fasting.

• 2. Droplets in the nose or ear

invalidate the fasting if the
medicine reaches the cavity of
the body. Likewise, the enema,
and penile and vaginal douche.
• The eye drop, on the other hand,
does not invalidate the fast.
Similarly, hypodermic, intramuscular,
and intravenous injections do not
invalidate fasting.

www.alsunna.org
The invalidators of the fasting
• 3. Losing consciousness for
the whole day from Fajr to
sunset. Also, losing sanity for one
moment.
• 4- Intentional Vomiting:
Placing one's finger or what is
similar down one’s throat to
cause oneself to vomit invalidates
the fast.
– If one involuntarily vomits and
does not swallow any of it, then
one’s fasting is not invalidated.
• 5- Apostasy (Kufur) of any
type: beliefs, actions, or sayings.
Making up missed days - Qada’
• Whoever invalidates his fast by
eating, drinking, or intentional
vomiting is sinful.

• He is also obligated to make up

the invalidated days immediately
after Ramadan and the ^Id day.

• However, he is not obligated to

pay money to the poor Muslims as
expiation.
– Note: It is unlawful (haram) to fast the
two days of ^Idul-Fitr and ^Idul-Ad-
ha, and the three days after ^Idul Ad-
ha, known as the days of Tashriq.

َ ‫ت َو‬ ََ َ‫اللَّ ُه ََّم ل‬

• The Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa

sallam when he broke his fast
used to say:

ُ ‫ك أَ ْفطَ ْر‬
‫ت‬ َ ِ‫علَى ِر ْزق‬

ُ ‫م‬ ُ ‫ك‬
ْ ‫ص‬ َّ ‫اللَّ ُه‬

• Which means: “O Allah, I

fasted seeking your reward,
and by your sustenance I
break my fast.”

will.” (Related by Abu Dawud.)
