Fasting

Last year I did not fast during Ramadan as I was pregnant and I used to feel sick all the time, after that I was not able to fast because of breastfeeding. Am I supposed to keep the missed fast for those days or can I pay the fidyah or both?

I had read in a Hadith that aside from the seven things that invalidate the fasts, sins also can invalidate a fast, so does it mean both major and minor sins, or does it mean sins done consistently the whole day invalidate the fast?

Fasting, Supplications

ANSWER: This is not authentic. The Prophet (ﷺ) said when he broke his fast: ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ Zahabaz zama’u wabtallati urooq wa thabatal ajru in sha Allah Thirst has gone, the arteries are moist, and the reward is sure, if Allah wills. [Sunan Abi Dawud 2357]

Sheikh I just read a hadith where the prophet pbuh said: it may be that a fasting person gets nothing but hunger and it may be that a person who prays qiyam gets nothing but a sleepless night. is this relating to one’s intentions?

ANSWER: Your ghusul has nothing to do with your fasting! The prophet salla allahu alaihi wa sallam used to go to bed in the state of major ritual impurity and perform ghusul only after fajr athan while he was fasting.

Shiekh if I wake up past fajr can I still fast or is it I have to eat something before fajr and pray then fast counts or will it count even if I don’t wake up
