Fasting

Suppose I broke an oath, but I am too shy to tell my parents to feed or cloth 10 poor persons on my behalf. In this case can I resort to fasting to fulfill the expiation?

As long as you don’t have money, you can fast.

I live in sweden and ramadhan coming in july this year. Here in sweden duration of fasting reaches nearly 22 hours. and the timings of sahri and iftari just gets an hour difference.I also work here and my job timings are usually at night .in which it gets really difficult to manage both iftari and sahri timings because, it just has an hour difference . So,I want to know what shall I do in these circumstances ..

You can fast on one meal only if you are too full. You can make your predawn meal only water and some dates.

I woke up at suhoor, as I wanted to make up for my fard fast. When I was eating I heard athan. I continued eating till I finished food in the bowl even two minutes after the athan.I noticed the time for iqamah, the gap between athan and qamah was 25 mins. So I guess the athan was before the actual dawn. I was aware that we can continue drinking but I was not sure about eating. But it was pitch dark outside, so i thought it was ok. Was my act right?

Remake this day as you should have stopped the minute you heard the Athan.

You should make up these days when you are able .

My grandmother has to make up 600 fasts because she did not make up the fasts she missed when she was young. So my question is I know its fidya is to feed one poor person for 1 fast.One day include 3 times food or just give it 1 time? She has to give from their own money or my dad can give on behalf of her as she has some gold & my dad also gives money to her? My grandfather is not alive.

She has to feed one poor person a meal for everyday missed. She can pay it herself or approves anyone else who is volunteering.

We know that it is highly desirable to hasten the burial. I also read that Allah will forgive the sins of the dead if more person pray salat at janaza.so how long can we delay the burial for more person to come?can we delay it for 1 day?

The Sunnah is to prepare the corps as soon as possible. Delaying him for a whole day is too long and shouldn’t be done unless there is a legitimate reason, such as one of his sons is flying over and would need half a day or a day to reach there and there is no […]

Are we suppose to fast if our periods continues for 15 days or more than that?

13 Feb

If this is usual and it comes for 15 days every month, this is menstruation and a woman shouldn’t pray or fast. But if this exceeds this and it never stops or rarely, this is not menstruation and it is Istihada which doesn’t prevent a woman from praying or fasting. Here is a similar question […]

You should continue your studies and fast while doing so to curb the temptation of the opposite sex.
