Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu This is baseless. However, it is wrong to insert the finger there.

Assalamualaikum I am having a 3 and half months old baby and I am feeding him least 3 times per day and rest is the bottle feed. I wanted to know is fasting mandatory for me? Any how I observed the fast on first day of Ramadan. I alone have to take care of my baby as no one else is supportive enough at my place. Please guide me with the right path. JazakaAllah

Wa alaikum salam, You have to fast unless you fear for your health or the health of the child due to breastfeeding. If there is no fear or extreme fatigue, you must fast.

Assalamualaikum Sheikh. I wanted to know if I could give money to an online charity who are raising money to feed ifthar to the poor. As my money will go towards food will this be acceptable as kaffarat yameen if I pay for 10 meals for 10 people? Bearing in mind I have no poor muslims where I live (London) who are in need of food

Wa alaikum salam wa rahmatullaahi, It seems that this is not sufficient as iftar is not usually a full meal. Besides, rich and well off people may join and eat from it and this means that the kaffarah was not done properly.

Wa alaikum salam wa rahmatullaahi, If you can find a suitable alternative, quit it. If you can’t, try to work the night shift. If this is not possible, you must fast until you feel that you are about to faint or need to break it to save your life or to stay away from danger, then you may break […]
