If someone is fasting for his health sake
Fasting is one of the pillar of Islam.if someone believes it but avoids it or shuns fasting then he is disobedient to Allah ,he is not considered akaafir like for the one who does not pray.,this person is a kafir.
Allah ordained fasting in three stages, it was not ordained immediately:
1) the first was the fasting of Aashuraa in the month of Moharram.this is how fasting began,
2) then fasting was ordained as a voluntary act,sura Baqarah verse184.
Whoever wants to fast it is better for him.
3) the third stage Allah ordained fasting as an obligatory act in Surah Baqarah verse 185.
Allah is the most wise ,He ordained it gradually, in three stages!
Why did Allah ordain fasting?
1) to attain piety, Surah Baqarah verse 183
Allah addressing the believers that fasting ordained so that u become righteous attain piety.
2) to appreciate Allahs blessings, to appreciate the food,drink.( human nature to appreciate only when deprived)
3)Tto train us with patience and tolerance
4)in order rich ppl feed poorpp
5) blood veins will be constricted,the channels of sharan will be constricted .
6) clears the body from harmful wastes
7) you will have more time to worship Allah azzawajal.
Rulings concerning fasting:
1) prohibition of fasting one dayortwo days before Ramadan.prophet saws said that do not fast a day or two before Ramadan except for a person who is in the habit of fasting he is allowed to fast.for egs a person is used to fasting every Monday and now this Monday is one day before Ramadan,it is allowed.
Why is it not allowed to fast a day or two before Ramadan:
To prevent exaggeration ,( some ppl do it to be on the safe side as the authorities have not known about shaban days )
Also to avoid confusion about ramadan days.
This is prohibited and is disliked in Islam if ppl practice.if you do it then u will not be punished but if you did not do it then u will be rewarded.this is called makroohh.
Some ppl say don't fast after fifteenth shaabaan ,this is a weak Hadith.
If you have not made up fromlast years fast then you should fast as this is obligatory fast.
2) prohibition of fasting the 30th day of shaabaan, youm al Shaq,doubtful day:
If you did not see it as skies are not clear,then u cannot fast,this is haraam.if the skies were clear and u did not see the moon,u can fast but this is disliked.
From Hadith : the one who has fasted on the doubtful day of 30th shaabaan has disobeyed prophet saws.
3) commencing and terminating our fasting with the sighting of moon:
Do not fast until u see the new crescent moon and do not terminate till u see the crescent moon of shawwal.
Sighting the moon is after maghrib time,one Muslim witness is enough to start the month of fasting of ramadan.one Muslim witness is sufficient to announce the commencement of fasting.but according to another Hadith that two witness is sufficient to terminate the fasting.
This Hadith shows flexibility of Islam,ease of Islam.it is sunnah to see the new moon but we dont need many ppl as witnesses.
A question:
If a person travelled from India to Dubai and kept only twenty eight days, he will have to keep the remaining fast depending on Dubai days.
The opposite if person is traveling from Dubai to India,he can keep thirty one days and should break fast withh ppl of india.
Another situation you completed 30 days in Dubai ,and they announced eid next day, now you r traveling to India , u will not fast u will have I'd.
4))Intention of fasting, niyyah before fajar time:
Prophet saws said that No fasting is accepted if he has not made the intention in the heart before dawn.definition of fasting is from dawn till maghrib,u should have intention before the dawn.
If u r not sure that Tom will be Ramadan , then u should have a conditional intention if fasting that if it is Ramadan I will fast if not then I will not fast.
Also it is enough to have the intention to fast the entire month ,unless if you are traveling or are sick,then u need to renew ur intention once u resume fast after sickness,
5)) in case of observing avoluntary fast it is not a must to have intention from the fajar,it can be done anytime in the day.but in case of obligatory fast like aashuraah or day of arraafahh,six days of shawwall,or the white days of the months ,then u have to have the intention before fajar.
Evidence from Hazrat Aaishah RA said once prophet saws came and asked do u have anything to eat ,she said no ,so he said then I m fasting.this indicates the simplicity of their lives.
This indicates that voluntary fast can be assumed in the middle of the day, then you will have reward from the time of the intention.also the condition is that u should not have eaten or drunk anything from dawn.
Another time Hazrat Aaisha said that I have been gifted with haaissa, so prophet saws said that he has been fasting and so he would break his fast in the middle of the day.so voluntary fast can be broken in the middle of the day but only for a valid reason.prophet saws had to eat ,they did not have enough food.
Q&A
13,14,15th days are sunnah of fasting ,these are restricted voluntary fast.we should have the intention from the dawn of 13th to sunset.so we have to have it before the dawn to complete the three days.obligatory fast have to have intention before fajar, even the missed obligatory when u fast,then make the intention,very important.
