what is fasting and its rules in islam


Rules of Fasting in Islam in Ramadan

What is fasting?

"The word Ramadan comes from the Arabic root ar-ramaḍ, which means boiling heat or dryness. Fasting is fardh/Farz (obligatory) for adult Muslims, except those who are suffering from an illness, travelling, are elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic or going through menstrual bleeding."

The lovely month of Ramadan is about reparation and tough living. The idea fasting on Ramadan is to feel the craving of poor and carry on with an existence in standards and Ramadan is to recharge our imaan to prepare our souls for rest of the year to use those days to create good habits.

While fasting from dawn until sunset, Muslims refrain from consuming food, drinking liquids,
smoking, and engaging in sexual relations. Muslims are also instructed to desist from sinful behavior that may negate the reward of fasting, such as false speech (insulting, backbiting, cursing, lying, etc.) and fighting. 

Avoid the demonstrations that are considered sins or cheapen the significance of fasting. Food and drinks are served daily, before dawn and after sunset.
Spiritual rewards (thawab) for fasting are also believed to be multiplied within the month of Ramadan. Fasting for Muslims during Ramadan typically includes the increased offering of salat (prayers) and recitation of the Quran.
As said in the Quran, "O' you who think, fasting is recommended for you as it was allowed for those before you with the goal that you may accomplish nobility, God-dreading."

Rules For Fasting

He who vomits involuntarily is not required to fast later on; but the one who deliberately causes himself to vomit must fast later on. (Abu Dawud, Sawm: 32; Al Tirmidhi, Sawm: 25; Ibn Majah, Sawm 16)


Sexual Intercourse is restricted while fasting in Ramadan In terms of kaffara, you and your wife each owe one kaffara, which is fast for 60 consecutive days, without missing a single day. This must be done in a time without any of the days of EId/Tashriq (Shawwal 1, Dhul Hijja 10-13), since it is sinful to fast on any of those five days.

If one does not fast the 60 days consecutively, one would have to restart the 60 days.




Hadith of Jummah in islam year 2017

Some Importance Hadith about Jumu'ah in islam


Jumu'ah (in standard Arabic jum`ah; Arabic: صلاة الجمعة‎ ṣalāt al-jum`ah, "Friday prayer") is a congregational prayer (ṣalāt) that Muslims hold every Friday, just after noon in the place of Zuhr prayer. Muslims pray ordinarily five times each day according to the sun's sky path regardless of timezones.

In islam, this day is given the most importance than any other days of the week. Every Friday, Prayer of Jummah is offered and for this prayer special time is taken. Imams of all masjids deliver khutbah on a special topic every Friday.

From various hadith, it is proven that Prophet Muhammadused to celebrate this day and he declared jummah as weekly eid for muslims. He used to wear clean and new (washed) clothes, used to take bath, wear fragrance, wear surmah for this day specially.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad described the virtues of Jummah prayer in the following hadith with these words;


”When the Friday comes, at every door of the Masjid there stands Angels who write down (the names of) those who come First, then who comes next. When the Imam sits down, the records are closed and they come to listen to the reminder , i.e. the Khutba….”  Muslim 1984.

On one Friday, Beloved Prophet (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: "O Muslims! Allah Ta'ala has made this day a day of Eid . So have a bath on this day, whoever has perfume should apply it, and use the miswaak. " [Ibn Majah]

Prophet SalAllahu Alyehe Wasallam said, "People should abstain from leaving out Jumu'ah Salaah. If not, Allah Ta'ala will put a seal over their hearts whereby they will fall into severe negligence. " [Muslim]

Prophet SalAllahu Alyehe Wasallam said, "The person who misses out three Jumu'ah's without any valid reason, Allah Ta'ala puts a seal over his heart. " [Tirmidhi]

Prophet SalAllahu Alyehe Wasallam said, “By walking for the Jumu'ah salaat, one gets the reward of fasting for one year for every step that he takes.” [Tirmidhi]

Abu Huraira R.A. reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying, "There is a time on Friday at which no Muslim servant would pray and would ask Allah for a thing but He (Allah) would give it to him. Qutaiba pointed with the help of his hand that it (the time) is short." [Muslim]





Prophet SalAllahu Alyehe Wasallam said, "It is my earnest desire that I appoint someone as Imam in my place while I go and burn the homes of those who do not attend the Jumu'ah salaat. " [Muslim]




what is fidyah for ramadan in islam

Pay Fidyah For Who can't  Fast(Fatwa Of Fidya in English)

What is Fidyah?


"Fidyah (Arabic: الفدية‎‎) and Kaffara (Arabic: كفارة‎‎) are religious donations made in Islam when a fast (notably Ramadan) is broken or Inability to fast. The donations can be of food, or money, and it is used to feed those in need."

Kaffara (also romanized as Kaffarah) like Fidyah, is a religious donation of money or food made to help those in need. Kaffara is made when someone deliberately misses a fast day.

Fidyah is made when someone is ill or of extreme age (old or young) and cannot fast for the required amount of days. In Ramadan, the Fidyah can be made for any amount of days.


1. Allah Pak says “And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed 'al-miskin' (poor person) (for every day)....” (Surah Al-Baqarah: 184)


On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik radiyallahu 'anhu, it was when he was not able to fast for one specific year (for one month), he then made a flour dough and invited 30 poor people, he then made them full.


2. A pregnant or breastfeeding woman if she is worried of her and her children’s health.

The Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said, “Indeed Allah has erased any obligation to fast and half of salah for traveler and he has eliminated any obligation to fast for pregnant women and those who give breastfeed.”


There is also another narration from Ibn Abbas, that he saw one of his female slave who is pregnant or breastfeeding (while fasting), then he said, “You are one of those people who are not able to fast. Then you are obliged to pay fidyah  and not needed to make up the fasting.”



THE MEASUREMENT FOR FIDYAH




1. The Fidyah price can be calculated based on the local price of approx. 1.5 kg of whole wheat, rice, or whatever the staple crop is in the place the paying person resides, which they eat themselves.

2. Currently, the suggested cost for Fidyah in the U.S.A. based on the approximate price of 1.5 kg of whole wheat or rice is approx. $3.50for each day of missed fast, however donors can give more if they are able and more poor will benefit, insha'Allah.




Importance of ramzan in islam



 Importance of Ramzan month in Islam




Fasting is a practice observed in every religion in some way or the other. However, Ramzan, the period of fasting for Muslims, is the longest and it is said the that the Prophet himself interceded on behalf of humanity by asking God to reduce the mandatory six months of fasting to one month.


On a deeper level, the meaning of fasting during Ramzan goes beyond just physical deprivation. It is a manifestation of love for the Divine by giving love to other human beings. So if one fasts one must understand the pangs of hunger and thirst suffered by the poor and one must accordingly give generously out of one's wealth.


The   month of Ramadan is not only the month of fasting. It is also the month of the   Qur’an. The Qur’an is the Muslim Scripture. “Ramadan is the (month) in which   the Qur’an was sent down, as a guide to mankind, also Clear (Signs) for   guidance and the differentiation (between right and wrong)”


Allah has made Laylat al-Qadr (The Night of Decree/Power) in this month, which is better than a thousand months.


During Ramzan eating for oneself and to satisfy the senses is not recommended; instead one should break the fast and part take of Iftar with others, especially with those who cannot afford a meal. The spirit of fasting accommodates acts of charity and kindness to others.


The evening prayer, which is offered each night after the fast, is an indicator that the fast is for God and, therefore, communion with God is essential.


Scientifically speaking, fasting is considered good for health as it rids the body of toxins. But on a spiritual level, fasting means abstaining from indulgence in all kinds of desires and negative actions that removes the toxins of evil from the mirror of the soul so that it begins to reflect the love and mercy of Allah Pak.

The main   objective of fasting is to achieve piety and righteousness. This implies   becoming conscious of our Creator, increasing our responsiveness of His dignity,   exalting and glorifying His names and attributes, appreciating His greatness,   recalling His blessings upon us, and being grateful and thankful for His   guidance.


The   month of Ramadan is not only the month of fasting. It is also the month of the   Qur’an. The Qur’an is the Muslim Scripture. “Ramadan is the (month) in which   the Qur’an was sent down, as a guide to mankind, also Clear (Signs) for   guidance and the differentiation (between right and wrong)”
