Rulings on the expiation paid for not fasting
My grandfather is sick. I give on his behalf ten Dirhams per day from his own money as an expiation for not fasting. I do this sometimes after the Iftaar (sunset meal that concludes the fast), sometimes in the morning, and other times before the Iftaar. Does this free him from liability? Is it enough? What intention should I have when I give this.. More

Unintentional swallowing of water during Ramadan
I visited the dentist during the daytime one day in Ramadhaan. He started to clean my teeth using a tool that was pumping a great amount of water inside my mouth. I tried as much as I could to avoid swallowing water so as not to invalidate my fasting. At the end of the process, however, I swallowed some water unintentionally. What is the Sharee‘ah.. More

Breaking fasting due to pregnancy
I read in a contemporary book of Fiqh (jurisprudence) that if the pregnant woman breaks her fasting during Ramadhan, according to the sounder opinion, she will be required only to make expiation. Hence, my wife would break fasting when she was pregnant and expiate only. This was repeated for many years. Recently, however, I came to know that this opinion.. More

Waking up Junub (post sex impurity) after dawn
My husband and I often have sexual intercourse late at night, and in most cases, I fail in observing the Fajr prayer. Does this make us sinful, knowing that this is the only time we can have sexual intercourse as we have to wait until our child sleeps?
Now, we are in Ramadhaan, if I woke up Junub (a state of Janaabah - post sex impurity), can.. More

Secretions from the genital organ do not invalidate the fast
I have been suffering from vaginal itching since last Ramadhaan, and it causes some secretions to be discharged. Due to this, I used to rub my vulva in Ramadhaan, and this was usually accompanied by a feeling of pleasure and secretions. I do not know whether these secretions included vaginal fluid or not, because I have been suffering from vaginal itching.. More

The fast of the cerebral palsy patient
My daughter suffers from congenital cerebral palsy. She hears, but cannot speak; she also cannot move or sit because of the damaged parts of her brain.
It is possible to say that she is mentally retarded. Although she is now more than twelve years old, her cognitive abilities are very weak. I do not know how to tell her about the existence of Allaah.. More

Feeling pleasure during the Istinjaa’ (cleansing the private part)
Does my feeling of pleasure during the Istinjaa’ (cleaning one’s private part after answering the call of nature) invalidate my fast?
If I exaggerate in making Istinjaa’ because I enjoy it, would my fasting be invalid?
Am I required to make up for the days of fasting when I did so?.. More

Her father died without making up for his missed days of fasting
A few days ago, I saw in a dream that the Day of Judgment had come and my family members including me were sitting inside our house. Each one of us started saying that the Day of Judgment had come and we started stating our sins or debts. However, my father was saying, “I missed two days of Ramadhaan.” I was saying, “I made a vow, but did not.. More

Breaking the fast during Ramadan for the tennis player
I will be playing tennis matches during the first week of Ramadhaan at noon when the temperature reaches 30 degrees. It will be very difficult for me to fast under such circumstances. Am I right if I break the fast and feed a poor person for each missed day of fasting?.. More

Should liver patients who take medicine every 12 hours fast or not?
I am a doctor, and I follow up on patients with liver transplantations. Such patients become physically capable of fasting six months after the operation.
However, the problem is that they must take immunosuppressive capsules every 12 hours orally, which means that they will break the fast despite their physical ability.
The patients want to.. More
