Fasting

There is a fatwa which says in Northern Europe when the fasts are extremely long you can base your fasting on Mecca so your fast will never be longer than 12 – 16 hours. It is attributed to Mohammad Abduh and Tantawi and Ali Gomaa. I feel that this opinin is wrong ? Does it hold any weight at all ?

No weight none whatsoever as long as there is day and night there.

Please let me know if we are doing this good. Our son of 13 with intellectual disability is now fasting for elhemdulilah days. It starts to get really difficult for him but we tell him not to eat. Can we do this with him. He is not like another normal thinking kid.

If your son is mentally challenged and he has the brain of a child, he is not obliged to fast like adults but you may encourage him without forcing him!

masjids in my city, Maghrib is scheduled for 5.34pm. Around 5.35pm I thought heard adzan from afar, but not 100% sure. Probably from a distant masjid. There are 3-4 masjids nearby, but even until 5.47pm there is no sound from them. I checked many clocks and schedules. So I just broke my fast. Is it justified, what I did? PS: now is 5.53pm, I checked and still no adzan from near

If the sun had set, your action was correct. You have to make sure that your watch is not out of order as it is impossible that all masjid said don’t call for the athan!

How to take ritual bath while fasting because I fear when that I take ritual bath especially when sniffing up water in nose and rinsing mouth and I feel water went inside my throat or may be it is whispers. If water goes inside ear canal does it break fast?

Ghusl is allowed during fasting. It is similar to wudhu! You should take care not to swallow any water. Water in the ears doesn’t break the fast

As long as you didn’t skip any day of Ramadan and you have fasted 29 days or more, no need for you to make up for anything,

A person starts his fast in Pakistan on the 19th of June 2015 and then after couple of days arrives in Dubai where the first day of Ramadan was the 18th of June 2015, and he intends to stay in Dubai for more than 2 months. Question is , will he need to fast an extra day as he started his fast a day after Dubai or not?

If they celebrated Eid in Dubai and this individual’s fasting was 28 days, he had to make up for one day. But if he fasted in Ramadan 29 days, he doesn’t have any days to make up for!

If a person wearing attar/perfume gets some of the taste of the purfume and ofcourse it mixes with the saliva and swallows it, does this nullify the fast?
