[slm] I have a question about intentional fast breaking. If you break your fast early because you are too hungry to carry on, then you must fast 2 consecutive months right? So are these two seperate months from Ramadan or does the remainder of Ramadan count for the start of the first month? Secondly, if you are fasting voluntarily, like today for instance, and you get really hungry and break your fast intentionally, does the same thing apply as for a Fard fast? 2 months fasting? Or is there some other ruling here? Is it enough to repent to Allah and seek forgiveness and strength to make it through the next fast or is there some special expetion to be done? Third, when you feel really ill, how ill do you have to feel to be allowed to break your fast? Dizziness? Tiredness? Moodiness - ie snapping at everyone? What's the criteria here? Fourth, when making up fasting days, how soon can you start after Ramadan and until when do they have to be made up? Jazak Allah in advance |

[slm] [quote] I have a question about intentional fast breaking. [/quote] I think I can help with this questions . [quote]If you break your fast early because you are too hungry to carry on, then you must fast 2 consecutive months right? So are these two seperate months from Ramadan or does the remainder of Ramadan count for the start of the first month? [/quote] It is recommnded to fast as soon as the ramadan is over unless for some health reasons that makes u postpond and any way you can fast at any month that you find is conveneint for you , but I repeat it is recommended as soon as possible if there is no any excuse to delay . [quote]Secondly, if you are fasting voluntarily, like today for instance, and you get really hungry and break your fast intentionally, does the same thing apply as for a Fard fast? 2 months fasting? Or is there some other ruling here? Is it enough to repent to Allah and seek forgiveness and strength to make it through the next fast or is there some special expetion to be done?[/quote] No you can break volunteer fasting and you don’t have to redo it and yes after you have repented inshallah the past mistakes are forgiven [quote]Third, when you feel really ill, how ill do you have to feel to be allowed to break your fast? Dizziness? Tiredness? Moodiness - ie snapping at everyone? What's the criteria here? [/quote] You should consult a doctor if fasting at that day is against your health and if the doctor advises you that is dangerous for your health you can break it , and this is legal excuse but u cant break it just bz you feel such weak ness but in case you are far from doctor and you honestly feel you are in danger you can break , and this is similar to the warrior and traveller excuses , [quote]Fourth, when making up fasting days, how soon can you start after Ramadan and until when do they have to be made up? [/quote] Right after ramadan the six days of shawal follows , this six days are not actually compulsary but hardly recommended so if you have the intention to fast these six days , then any other making up can be at any time after the end of these days but as soon as possible Inshallah we could share the ajer ( reward) of asking and the answering wa ALLAH AL MUWAFIGH |

[slm] Where's this two month idea coming from? From my understanding if you break fast intentionally with no good reason, there's a hadith that actually says even if you fasted 100,000 days or so you'll never be able to repay it. This is just showing the gravity of breaking fast with no good reason. As far as health, Allahu A'alam, we all know what being ill is, if you are really sick that's beyond being moody isn't it? I think you just gotta know your body, and what it can handle..but not to fast cuz you are hungry? that's the whole point of it yeah? It's to restrain oneself from desires and fight against pangs of hunger? The last thing is for voluntary fasting, its probably the best time to train oneself in the skill of holding oneself back. You don't have to pay it back if you break a voluntary fast....but it could be a good way to train yourself if you have problems fasting during Ramadhan. Especially now, in the month of Shaban, cuz you get extra reward for following an established sunnah of the Rasul [saw], and literally prepare for Ramadhan. An excuse is generally given to travellers, preganant women, sick, children, and eldery...but for an able bodied person, who is healthy generally, we can't make unnecessary excuses for ourselves (And Allah knows Best). Again, double check with an imam...the above is entirely what i know and what has been drilled to me growing up. Make lotsa duahs and don't even give yourself an option to break fast...cuz its really not. Sis in Struggle, :-) [wlm] |

[slm] I am also wondering with Sis Eleanor about what constitutes being "sick" and breaking ones fast? For example, if one feels extremely jittery, as though one will pass out, could one break the fast? If an individual broke the fast for feeling sick,would they have to fast for the 2months? If they feel sick such as that, wouldnt it be difficult for them to fast for further 2 months? Just some questions I was seeking some clarification on! Thanks! wassalam |

[/quote] NUR these 2 months are the religion regulation as penalty to who breaks the fast intentionaly and or doesnt fast and this is mentioned in the FIGH.i I dont think any body dares to break the fast on purpose whilst he/she knows continious months are waiting to repair that single day missed up ,so what actually happens is, that when there is no reasonable excuse ,this is how the person has to do as a penalty , so the intention of breaking comes suddenly but with no perimted excuse but the religion has a regulation to be applied on every kind of mistakes . and this is why . but any way ALLAH forgives any kind of sin except the SHIRK( not believing in him or worshiping another things as GOD) just once the heart decides to repent all the past sins are cleared off if we take it this way that any day we miss up cant be recovered even if we fast what ever times , this discourage the need to fast and repent and this is the dangerous point we need no to reach . what ever happens ,what ever we have done as soon as we strongly and honestly plan to straighten ourselves we are new born from that day on wa ALLAH AILAM ;-) |

AA I thought the two month penalty was only for breaking the fast by sex, not by eating or drinking. Allahu Alam. |
