Fasting

Sheikh.Both, my mother and mother in law are not able to fast.Can I give kaffara on behalf of both of them..It would be from my husband’s money that the kaffara would be given..If its permissible is it necessary to inform them about it..

Fasting

29 May

You must take their authorization first before doing this and also take your husband’s permission as the money is his.

sheikh i frequently suffer from headaches and rely on painkillers to help with the pain. Would it break my fast if i was to orally take paikillers with a little bit of water? if yes can i take it more than once during the course of the day?

Fasting

29 May

If you must take it, then do so and make up for that day later on as any pill that you may swallow or any sip of water would immediately break your fasting.

I still have some fasts from previous ramadans to make up, can i make them up after my shawwal fasts or will my shawwal for this year not count unless i make up all my missed fast from the past? Also am I allowed to make up my fasts in the winter when the days are shorter or is that seen as less rewarding because the days are shorter?

Fasting

29 May

Yes you may. Your shawwal fast is only connected to this Ramadan and not the previous ones.

sir, could you please explain why is iftaar party haram or an innovation or what things in iftaar party nulify the meaning of iftaar with friends or loved ones or guests?

Who said it was haram? If there is no mixing or music, this is permissible.

Does swallowing saliva on the lips break the fast?

Fasting

No, it doesn’t.

I would like to ask, today while preparing food, i tasted some of it. At that time i was aware that i was fasting but out of habit i tasted the meal being prepared. Does this instance fall under of the forgiven fast of those who forget or must i make up this day.

Fasting

28 May

Tasting the food while fasting is permissible providing that you don’t swallow it. If you swallowed it unintentionally, then your fast is still valid.

shaikh, does having a flu jab invalidate your fast? (mainly injected to keep away from cold and flu)

Fasting

28 May

If this is a normal injection that is not given through I.V, nor it enters to one’s stomach, this doesn’t affect your fasting.

Respected Sheikh, is it ok if we supplicate by raising hands at the time of iftaar?is it sunnah or innovation?

Fasting

28 May

This is permissible.

Is it allowed for a person having fasts during ramdhan to play games which have fights and action?

Fasting

28 May

If there is no haram such as music, nudity or unislamic content, this is permissible providing that one doesn’t spend much time in it! Ramadan is a season that a Muslim should utilise every moment in it.
