EPISODE 7 -  Description of the Fasting, Night Prayer and I’tikaaf of the Prophet (ﷺ)

Refraining from Those Things That Break a Person’s Fast

➖➖➖

It is obligatory to refrain from all things that nullify the fast from the start of Fajr until sunset, such as eating food, drinking 

(Tirmidhi, 788), and having sexual relations (Bukhari 1936; Muslim 1111).

According to the general agreement of the scholars, if a person eats or drinks or vomits (Dawood 2380; al-Tirmidhi 720) deliberately and knowingly then their fast is broken, even if they have consumed something small.

(see also Majaalis Shahr Ramadaan p/70)

Taking normal or nutritional injections has the same ruling as eating and drinking.

(See Fataawa Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem 4/189)

➖➖➖

Actions Which Are Permissible for the Fasting Person

➖➖➖

• Taste food without swallowing,

• Kissing one's wife (Bukhari 1927 and Muslim 1106),

• To use an oxygen mask for breathing,

• To use Kohl and

• Eye and ear drops.

However, it is not allowed to use nose drops, if the nose drop reaches the throat and then the stomach then the fast is broken, but if it doesn’t reach the stomach then the fast is valid, as the principle is that nothing should be consumed.

➖➖➖

-The Following Do Not Break the Fast

➖➖➖

• Vomiting unintentionally does not break the fast according to the most correct opinion,

• Hijamah (cupping),

• Blood transfer, but it is best to delay it and Hijamah until the night so that the body does not become weak,

• Nose bleeds,

• Bleeding wounds do not break the fast,

• Injecting in other than the vein does not break the fast.
