[] FAQ Fasting Sha’baan [3 Min]


QUESTIONS_______________________________________________________

[] Question about Shaban: When my father was alive, he entrusted me to give sadaqah (charity) according to my means on the 15th of Sha’baan every year, and likewise I have been doing this ever since. However, some people have admonished me for doing so saying it is not permissible. So is giving sadaqah on the night of the 15th of Sha’baan permissible according to the willment of my father or not? Kindly advise us and may Allaah reward you with good.

[] Answer: To specify the giving of sadaqah on the night of the 15th of Sha’baan every year is an innovation, and despite your father having entrusted you with that, it is not permissible. It is befitting you give this sadaqah without specifying the night of the 15th of Sha’baan, rather do so every year and in whichever month, but without particularising any one month (on a consistent basis). However, it is permissible to do so in the month of Ramadhaan (for the evidence which indicates so).

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

[♦]  Question Specifying the day of the 15th of Sha’baan:   We see some people specifying the 15th of Sha’baan with particular supplications and reciting the Qur.aan and performing naafilah prayers. So what is the correct position concerning this, and may Allaah reward you with good?

[♦] Answer:   That which is correct is that fasting the 15th of Sha’baan or specifying it with reciting (the Qur.aan) or making (particular) supplications has no basis. So the day of the 15th of Sha’baan is like any other 15th day of other months. So from that which is known is that it has been legislated for a person to fast the 13th, 14th and 15th of every month, however, Sha’baan is characterised unlike the other months in that (except for Ramadhaan) the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) used to fast more in Sha’baan than any other month . So he used to either fast all of Sha’baan or just a little. Therefore, as long as it does not cause difficulty for a person, it is befitting to increase in fasting during Sha’baan in adherence to the example of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam).

[♦] Question Standing the night of the 15th of Sha’baan  Is standing the night of the 15th of Sha’baan in prayer and fasting during it’s day legislated?

[♦] Answer:  Nothing firm and reliable has been established on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) that he stood in prayer in the night and fasted during the day of the 15th of Sha’baan. So the night of the 15th of Sha’baan is like any other night, and if someone is a regular worshipper during other nights, then he may stand the night in prayer on this night without assuming anything special (because of it being the night of the 15th of Sha’baan). This is because specifying a time for any act of worship requires a authentic proof, so if there is no authentic proof then the act is regarded as an innovation and all innovations are misguidance. Likewsie, regarding specifically fasting during the 15th day of Sha’baan, then no (authentic) proof has been established on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) to indicate the legislation of fasting on that particular day.

As for that which is mentioned from the ahaadeeth regarding this subject, then all of it is weak as the people of knowledge have indicated. However, whoever has the habit of fasting the 13th, 14th and 15th (of every month), then he can continue and fast during Sha’baan as he fasts during the other months, without assuming anything special about the 15th of Sha’baan. Also, the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) used to increase in fasting during this month (Sha’baan), however, he did not particularise the 15th day, rather proceeded as per norm.

RAMADHAN FOOD & HEALTH_____________________________________________________________ 

[♦] Lemons: Digestive Health During Ramadhan –  Lemons are so beneficial. They aid the digestive process by stimulating the release of gastric juices. Lemons also improve liver function and encourage bowel regularity.

However, Check with your doctor before making changes to your current food regime. And do not use lemon juice if you have advanced kidney disease or adrenal stress.As always, this is not meant as medical advice.

[] Recipe: Basaalmic Vinagrette —This salad dressing uses lemon juice which helps aid digestion. It’s inexpensive to make and adds a lot of flavor to salads.

  • 2 TBS lemon juice
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • Extra virgin olive oil to taste
  • Salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl and toss with salad greens.

Fasting Ramadhan #2: Rulings Related to Travel [37.5 Minutes]


[♦]  Fasting Ramadhan #3: Rulings Related to Sickness [25.5 Minutes]


QUESTIONS_______________________________________________________

[] Question:  Does a nosebleed break the fast?

[] Answer: A nosebleed does not break the fast, because it is not by the choice of the person who has it. —–Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-`Uthaymeen @  FatwaIslam

[♦]  Question:  What is the ruling on a fasting person using an inhaler for breathing problems, and does it break the fast?

[♦] Answer: This spray is vaporised and does not reach the stomach, so in that case, we say that there is no objection to using it when you are fasting, and it will not cause you to break your fast, because as we have said, none of its particles enter the stomach. Since it is something that is defused and vaporised, and it disappears, then none of it reaches the stomach, therefore it is permissible for you to use it when you are fasting and the fast is not invalidated by it. —– Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-`Uthaymeen @ FatwaIslam

[♦] Question:  What is the ruling on a blood test for a fasting person, does it break the fast?

[♦] Answer:  The fasting person does not invalidate his fast due to the removal of blood for the purpose of a blood test, because the doctor needs to take blood from the sick person in order to do tests on it, so this does not break the fast. It is only a small amount of blood which does not affect the body in the same way cupping does, so it does not break the fast. The fundamental principle is that the fast remains valid, and we cannot make it invalid without some legal evidence, and there is no evidence that a fasting person breaks his fast by such a small amount of blood.

But as for taking a lot of blood from a fasting person for the purpose of giving a transfusion to another person who is in need of it for example, if a large quantity of blood was taken which has the same effect on his body as cupping, then his fast will be broken thereby.

Based upon this, if the fast in an obligatory one, then it is not permissible for a person to donate this large amount of blood to anyone, unless this person to whom blood is donated is in danger and it is not possible for him to wait until after sunset. This would be if the doctors have determined that the blood of this fasting person will benefit him and remove the harm from the patient. In these circumstances, there is no objection to him donating his blood, breaking his fast, and eating and drinking, so that his strength will return to him. He must also make up for the day in which he broke his fast. And Allaah knows best. —–

QUESTIONS_______________________________________________________

[♦] Question: A girl reached the age of 12 or 13 years and the blessed month of Ramadhaan passed without her having fasted. Is there any sin upon her or her family? Is it upon her to fast and if she doesn’t then is she sinning?

[♦] Answer: The girl becomes Islaamically bound with (the following) conditions: Islaam, sanity and puberty. Puberty is attained either by menstruation, or the excrement of discharge as a result of sexual desire, or having a wet dream if she saw the discharge, or the growth of thick hair around the front private part, or reaching the age of 15 years. So if this girl fulfilled the conditions of being legally bound by Islaam, fasting is obligatory upon her and it is a must that she makes up the fasts she left off while being at that age. And if one of the conditions are not fulfilled then there is nothing required of her.

And with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

The Permanent Committee for Islaamic Research and Verdicts (AbdurRahman.org)

[♦] Question: Does fasting have any social benefits?
Does every day on which the fast is performed in Ramadan require an intention, or is it sufficient to make one intention for the whole month?

[♦] Answer: Yes, it has social benefits. From them is the feeling people have that they are one nation eating at one time and fasting at one time. The wealthy one is cognizant of Allaah’s blessings and is sympathetic to the poor. Fasting lessens shaytaan’s treachery to the son of Aadam. In fasting there is piety of Allaah, and piety of Allaah strengthens the bonds between the individuals of the community.

Does every day on which the fast is performed in Ramadan require an intention, or is it sufficient to make one intention for the whole month?

But you should not do it unless there is a need for it; and in this situation, if any of it enters the stomach without your intending it, then your fast in not invalidated. — Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-`Uthaymeen,  Fatwa Islam

Welcome to Ramadhan Planner 1434 a.h. {2013}!

As salaamu alaykum

Insha’Allah, we will have been allowed by Allah to enter another Ramadhan.

In order to have a peaceful cruise into and through that holy month, we need to take care of things so that we are not running around like a chicken with its head cut off! By Ramadan we will have most of our preparations finished, insha’Allah.

Our plan of action for the next 6 weeks will include:

  • Daily missions to do
  • Ramadhan Planning Notebook/Control Journal
  • Clean/Declutter the house
  • Daily routines
  • Stocking the freezer, pantry, linen closets, etc
  • Budgeting
  • Receiving guests
  • Selecting Eid outfits
  • Buying gifts
  • Making travel arrangements

Hopefully, this is going to be the year that you will not be feeling like Ramadan is too big a hassle.  You may actually enjoy yourself – and your family is going to love the blessed month of Ramadan insha’Allah.

Inshaa Allah your pre-planning and preparation will allow you and your family more time to focus on worshipping Allah subhana wa ta’aala: reading Qur’an, attending Taraweeh prayers, etc.  These acts should be enjoyed without feeling rushed and distracted, inshaa Allah.

Your Ramadan Planner/FlyLady Control Journal will contain daily Ramadan Cruising Missions to help you accomplish your BabySteps for preparing for this special occasion. FlyLady Ramadhan was put together by a wonderful sister put together. May Allah bless her with good for her efforts at getting us organized.

Does the FlyLady system does not work well? Then the Declutter Series may be just the thing.

Until Ramadhan, weekly posts to this blog uses FlyLady Ramadhan framework, but allows flexibility to ready the house the Declutter way.

You can do anything for 15 minutes; even get ready for a blessed month of worship!  Are you ready to FLY Islamically?
