Ramadan walks the planet

An authentic hadith says: “There are three practices, the use of which will give a person the strength to fast (he will eventually have enough strength and energy to fast): 1) eat, and then drink; 2) eat early in the morning; 3) sleep during the day" (Hadith from Anas; Collection of sacred hadiths of al-Barraz).

What foods and dishes are the most optimal for iftar from the point of view of Islam and medicine?

It is advisable to start iftar immediately after sunset and before the evening Maghreb prayer. In a hadith from Sahl ibn Sad (may Allah be pleased with him) it is said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “People will not cease to be in prosperity as long as they rush to break the fast” (al-Bukhari, 1957, Muslim, 1092).

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When one of you breaks his fast, let him break his fast with dates, and if he does not find dates, let him break his fast with water, for it truly cleanses.”(Abu Dawud, 2355, at-Tirmidhi, 658, Ibn Majah, 1699).

This hadith concerns only the very process of breaking the fast, that is, the minimum food that should be eaten before the evening prayer, and only after the prayer should be taken for a real meal. From the point of view of medicine, this is the most optimal process for exiting the state of fasting. The fact is that the feeling of satiety is “late” and appears 20 minutes later than a person will actually be full.

Dates eaten after adhan immediately saturate the blood with glucose. This leads to the fact that the center of hunger and satiety in the brain begins to react. He makes sure that food is coming in, and accordingly slows down so that it does not come in excess. For all this, the brain needs about 20 minutes, which Muslims just spend not on food, but on performing ablution and obligatory prayer. When drinking water, everything is even easier - the brain reacts to heaviness in the stomach and also slows down appetite.

Of course, not only these products can be used for breaking the fast. You can also put fruits, pastries, dried fruits on the table ... but the main thing is not to overdo it. There shouldn't be too much food. The main meal, which is often understood as iftar, will come a little later - after the evening prayer.

During the main meal (after the evening prayer), you need to limit fried and flour. It is better not to eat fatty foods. A vegetable dish, meat and vegetable or fish dish will be optimal. Useful salads from fresh vegetables, dishes from cereals. Sweets are possible, but in small quantities.

For iftar, Uzbek pilaf (only with a minimum fat content), Italian lasagne (spaghetti), chicken stew with vegetables ... and much more are perfect. It is quite possible to arrange a traditional dinner with three to five courses. Stewed meat with a side dish of steamed vegetables, khinkal, traditional for the Caucasus (it is better if corn flour or whole wheat is used) with fresh vegetable salad, baked fish with corn pancakes, cheese soup with vegetables and kebab from lean beef. There are many options, and everyone, of course, likes something different.

From drinks, fresh juices are suitable (if store-bought, it is better to dilute them a little with water, since their acidity is quite high), fruit drinks, compotes, kissels. Plain plain water is great too. Tea (preferably green or hibiscus) or a little not very strong coffee with a small amount of sweets at the end of the meal. It would be optimal to drink a little water (about half a glass) even before the evening prayer.

It is better to exclude the so-called "fast food" from your diet during fasting (or even better - to exclude them from your life altogether). These include various types of noodles (with food additives), cereals and soups in bags, sausages ... The fact is that this category of products contains incomplete carbohydrates and proteins (sublimated), which are very quickly absorbed by the body - they saturate a person, but do not give no long term perspective. The feeling of hunger will come literally in 1-2 hours and will be much stronger than before using this product. In addition, they all contain a large amount of salt, spices and extractives, which also helps to whet the appetite after a short time, as well as the development of thirst. In addition, this category of products increases the load on the liver and kidneys, which is extremely unfavorable for a fasting person (all organs already work in overtime).

Ramadan is a chance to take advantage of all the benefits of fasting, switch to a healthy diet and learn the culinary traditions of different countries and peoples.

Happy Ramadan!

Audio version of this article:

Eating should be stopped before it starts to get light, before the first obvious signs of approaching dawn:

“... Eat, drink until you begin to distinguish the white thread from the black one [until the dividing line between the coming day and the outgoing night appears on the horizon] at dawn. And then fast until the night [before sunset, refraining from eating, drinking and intimate relationships with your spouse (husband)] ... "().

If there is no mosque in a particular city and a person cannot find a local timetable for fasting, then for greater certainty it is better to complete Suhoor no later than an hour and a half before sunrise. Sunrise times can be found on any tear-off calendar.

The importance of the morning meal is evidenced, for example, by the following words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “Eat food before dawn [on fasting days]! Verily, in suhoor - God's grace (barakat)! . It is also said in a reliable hadith: “There are three practices, the use of which will give a person the strength to fast (he will eventually have the strength and energy to fast): (1) eat, and then drink [that is, do not drink much while eating, do not dilute the gastric juice, but drink after the feeling of thirst appears, 40-60 minutes after eating] , (2) eat [not only in the evening, breaking the fast, but also] in the early morning [before the azan for the morning prayer], (3) take an afternoon nap (nap) [approximately 20–40 minutes or more between 1 pm and 4 pm]” .

If a person who intended to fast does not eat before dawn, then this does not affect the validity of his fast, but he will lose some of the sawab (reward), because he will not perform one of the actions included in the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad.

Iftar (evening meal) it is advisable to start immediately after sunset. Postponing it to a later time is undesirable.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “My ummah will be prosperous until it starts postponing the conversation to a later time and performing suhoor from the night [and not in the morning, specifically getting up before the morning prayer time] » .

It is advisable to start breaking the fast with water and an odd number of fresh or dried dates. If there are no dates, then you can start iftar with something sweet or drink water. According to a reliable hadith, the prophet Muhammad, before performing the evening prayer, began breaking the fast with fresh or dried dates, and if there were none, then with plain water.

During the conversation, it is advisable for a believer to turn to God with any prayer or request, and he can ask the Creator in any language. An authentic hadith speaks of three prayers-du‘a (supplications), which the Lord certainly accepts. One of them is prayer during breaking the fast, when a person completes the day of fasting.

Please tell me how to start a meal in the holy month of Ramadan? Indira.

Water, dates, fruits.

The imam of the mosque in which I perform a collective prayer said that eating should be stopped after the call for morning prayer, and the rest of the food that is in the mouth at the time of the call should be spit out and rinsed out. In the place where I live, calls can be heard simultaneously from several mosques, with a time interval of 1 to 5 minutes. How important is it to stop eating from the moment I heard the first call? And if such omissions were made, is it necessary to make up for the post? Gadzhi.

You don't need to complete the post. In any case, the calculation is approximate, and the verse says in this regard:

“... Eat, drink until you begin to distinguish a white thread from a black one [until the dividing line between the coming day and the outgoing night appears on the horizon] at dawn. And then fast until night [before sunset, refraining from eating, drinking and intimate relationships with your spouse (husband)] ”(see).

On fasting days, stop eating at the start of the adhan from any local mosque, including those where 1-5 minutes later.

My friend during fasting ate from the evening and did not get up for suhoor. Is his post correct from the point of view of the canons? After all, as far as I know, you need to wake up before sunrise, say the intention and eat. Vildan.

Morning meal is desirable. Intention is, first of all, intentionality with the heart, a mental attitude, and it can be realized in the evening.

Until what time can you eat in the morning? The schedule includes Fajr and Shuruk. What to focus on? Arina.

It is necessary to stop eating about an hour and a half before dawn. You are guided by the time of Fajr, that is, by the beginning of the morning prayer time.

During Ramadan, it so happened that either I didn’t hear the alarm, or it didn’t work, I overslept Suhoor. But when I woke up for work, I spoke my intention. Tell me, does a fast observed in this way count? Arslan.

In the evening you were going to get up in the morning and fast, which means you had a heart intention. Having this is enough. Verbal intention is only an addition to the intention of the heart, in thoughts.

Why does the fast start before the morning azan? If you eat after imsak and before adhan, is fasting valid? If not, why not? Lobster.

The fast is valid, and the time reserve (prescribed in some schedules) is for safety net, but there is no canonical need for it.

Why do all sites write the time “imsak”, and it is always different, although everyone refers to the hadith that even during the adhan for the morning prayer, the Prophet allowed to chew? Gulnara.

Imsak is a desirable border, in some cases very desirable. It is better to stop fasting an hour and twenty minutes or an hour and a half before sunrise, indicated in ordinary tear-off calendars. The border that cannot be crossed is the azan for the morning prayer, the time of which is indicated in any local prayer schedule.

I am 16 years old. This is the first time I am holding an eye and I still don’t know much, although every day I find something new for myself about Islam. This morning I slept longer than usual, woke up at 7 in the morning, did not utter my intention, I was tormented by remorse. And I also had a dream that I was fasting and took food ahead of time. Maybe these are some signs? For the whole day I can not come to my senses, my heart is somehow hard. Did I break my post?

The fast was not broken, because you intended to fast on this day, and you knew about it from the evening. It is only desirable to pronounce intention. Whether it's hard at heart or easy depends to a large extent on you yourself: it's not what happens that matters, but how we feel about it. The believer is positive, enthusiastic, energizes others, optimistic, and never loses hope in God's mercy and forgiveness.

I got into an argument with a friend. He takes suhoor after the morning prayer and says that it is permissible. I asked him to provide evidence, but I did not hear anything intelligible from him. Explain, if you don't mind, is it possible to eat after the time of the morning prayer? And if so, until what period? Muhammad.

There is no such opinion and never has been in Muslim theology. If a person intends to fast, then the deadline for eating is the azan for the morning Fajr prayer.

I hold a sacred post. When the time for the fourth prayer comes, I first drink water, eat, and then go to pray... I am very ashamed that I do not pray at first, but hunger takes over. Am I committing a big sin? Louise.

There is no sin if the prayer time is not up. And it comes out with the onset of the time of the fifth prayer.

Is fasting valid if I have eaten within 10 minutes of the adhan for the morning prayer? Magomed.

You will have to make up for it with one day of fasting after the month of Ramadan.

We read a prayer before they start breaking the fast, although it says on your website that it is read after iftar. How to be? farangis.

If you mean prayer-prayer, then the first thing you should do is drink water, then pray and after that sit down to eat. If you are talking about a prayer-du‘a, then it can be read at any time and in any language.

More about the absence of the canonical need to stop eating in advance (imsak) before the azan for the morning prayer, which is practiced in places today,

Hadith from Anas, Abu Hurairah and others; St. X. Ahmad, al-Bukhari, Muslim, an-Nasa'i, at-Tirmizi and others. S. 197, hadith no. 3291, "sahih"; al-Qardawi Yu. Al-muntaka min kitab "at-targhib wat-tarhib" lil-munziri. T. 1. S. 312, hadith No. 557; al-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-islami wa adillatuh. In 8 vols. T. 2. S. 631.

The meaning is that, in accordance with the Sunnah, a person during, for example, an evening conversation, first of all drinks water and can eat a few dates. Then he performs the evening prayer-prayer and after that he eats. The first drink of water after a day of fasting flushes out the gastrointestinal tract. By the way, it is very useful to drink warm water with honey diluted in it on an empty stomach. In the hadith, it is recommended that food (consumed after the evening prayer) is not particularly diluted with water. Simultaneous heavy drinking and food consumption leads to difficulty in digestion (the concentration of gastric juice decreases), indigestion, and sometimes heartburn. During the fasting period, this entails inconvenience due to the fact that the evening meal does not have time to be digested, and after that the person either does not eat in the early morning, because he does not feel hungry, or eats, but it turns out “food for food”, which in more to a greater extent complicates the process of digestion of food and does not bring the expected benefits.

The reader is invited to translate a series of answers to questions about iftar from the Sheikh's website Muhammad Salih al-Munajid islam-qa.com.

It is sunnah not to delay breaking the fast

Question #13999:

I would like to know if breaking the fast (iftar) is mandatory. If a Muslim goes to the mosque during the evening prayer, then what should he do during iftar, first eat and then join the collective prayer, or first pray, and then eat?

Answer:

All praise belongs to Allah!

It is advisable to break the fast as soon as the time of fasting ends. Various hadiths point to this. Transmitted from words Sahl b. Sa'da that the Messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him! - said: "People will be in prosperity as long as they hurry to break the fast" ( Al Bukhari(1821) and Muslim (1838)).

After fasting, a person should first of all immediately eat a few pieces of food that will satisfy his hunger, and then proceed to prayer. After completing the prayer, if he wants, he can again continue eating until he is full.

So did the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. They convey that Anas b. Malik said: “The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him! - before he performed the prayer, he broke the fast with fresh dates. If there were none, then he would break his fast with dry dates. If there were none, then he broke his fast with a few sips of water. This hadith gives at-Tirmizi(as-saum / 632), and al-Albani called it reliable in "sahih Abi Daoud» (560).

In the comments on this hadeeth, al-Mubarakfuri writes: "This hadeeth is a full and sufficient indication of the desirability of breaking the fast immediately after fasting."

Breaking the fast with food provided to those who possess an unlawful state

Question #37711:

Is it permissible to accept an invitation to iftar from a person whose most of the property consists of forbidden goods?

Answer:

All praise belongs to Allah!

If the majority of a person's property consists of forbidden things, then it is permissible to accept his invitation.

Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him! - accepted an invitation to the table from the Jews, despite the fact that Allah described them as engaged in usury and misappropriation of people's property. Some of the Salaf said about such things: "the benefit from him will go to you, and the sin from him will go to them."

At the same time, you are also allowed to refuse such a person to accept an invitation, in order to thereby express your reproach to him and keep him from earning a fortune in an unlawful way. It is better to do so, if it can really have an effect on leaving the sin into which he has fallen.

And Allah knows best!

Hukm of Breaking the Fast in the Society of Adherents of Innovations

Question #37742:

Does sin fall on the one who did not perform the Taraweeh prayer throughout the month of Ramadan? I work for a company where sometimes I have to stay late for work so that I have to break my fast at work. And I seem to be the only Sunni in this firm. All the rest are Shiites and Ismailis. Can I break the fast with them?

Answer:

All praise belongs to Allah!

If a Muslim does not perform the Tarawih prayer, then the sin does not fall on him for this. Regardless of whether for a good reason he did not do it, or without a good reason, since it is not mandatory. Its fulfillment is an imperative sunnah (sunnah muakkada). The Prophet himself - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him! - constantly did it and encouraged Muslims to do it. He said: “Whoever stands [night prayers] in Ramadan sincerely and with faith, all his previous sins will be forgiven!” (Al-Bukhari (37) and Muslim (760)).

A Muslim, of course, should not neglect this prayer. If he does not have the opportunity to perform it behind the imam in the mosque, then he can perform it at home. If he cannot perform eleven rak'ats, then he can perform as much as he will not be a burden to him, even if only two rak'ats, and then he will perform the vitr prayer. And Allah knows best!

As for breaking the fast with the Shiites and Ismailis, then if you think that breaking the fast in their circle can help incline their hearts to call them to observe the Sunnah and abandon those innovations that they make, then from the point of view of Sharia, this will be lawful.

If you see that there will be no benefit in sharing iftar with them, then it is better not to break your fast with them and avoid them, expressing a negative attitude towards their innovations, and being careful that you will have to face their fabrications (shubukhats) when you will not have knowledge that would reveal to you their falsity and inconsistency, by virtue of which you can subject yourself to temptation in Religion. And Allah knows best!

Where is it better to break the fast, in the mosque or at home?

Question #38264:

Which is better, to have iftar in the mosque after prayer, or to pray first, then go home and eat with the family?

Answer:

All praise belongs to Allah!

If the questioner, speaking about iftar, meant what the fasting person eats to distinguish the time of fasting from the time when it is allowed to eat, such as eating a few dates, drinking water, etc., then such an iftar should be done immediately after fasting, in in accordance with the words of the Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him! - "People will be in prosperity as long as they hurry to break the fast" (Al-Bukhari (1957) and Muslim (1098). See: question no. 13999).

If he meant what people usually eat after prayer, that is, those dishes that they specially prepared for iftar (wajabat ul-iftar), then, as I know, there are no specific regulations in the Sunnah on this matter. Here the person himself must decide how best to act, taking into account various needs.

Breaking the fast in the mosque in the circle of the jamaat is useful in that it gathers Muslims, brings their hearts closer, puts them on a par with each other, introduces them, helps to revive the spirit of mutual assistance, etc. Breaking the fast at home in the circle of household members is useful in that it brings the family together, allows you to discuss its problems, helps strengthen family ties, helps to educate children in a culture of communication and a culture of eating, etc.

The head of the family is obliged to reasonably weigh all these benefits and determine on which days he will break his fast in the family circle, and on which days he will do it in the mosque, taking into account that the duty of caring for the family and children, teaching children Religion and its ethical norms is more important and significant than the simple desirability of meeting friends in the mosque, despite the fact that there is an opportunity to see them during taraweeh prayers, and at meetings where they acquire knowledge, and in other similar cases.

And Allah knows best!

Remembrance of Allah while breaking the fast.

Question #93066:

How is the appeal to Allah with prayers found in hadiths that are called unreliable, such as: (1) When breaking the fast: “Allahumma la-ka sum-tu wa 'ala rizki-ka aftar-tu / O Allah, for Your sake I fasted , and I break the fast with the inheritance provided by You! ; (2) “Ashhadu al-la ilaha illa Llah, astagfiru-Llah, as'alu-ka-l-janna, wa a'uzu bi-ka mina-n-nar / I testify that there is no other deity but Allah, I ask Forgiveness from Allah, I ask You for Paradise and I seek protection from You from the Fire! Is there such a thing in the Shariah, can they be read, not allowed, condemned, not reliable, or haram?

Answer:

All praise belongs to Allah!

First:

The words of supplication you mentioned during iftar are given in a weak hadith, which was narrated by Abu Daoud(2358). In it, according to Mu'adha b. Zahra, it is reported that when the Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him! - broke the fast, said: “Allahumma la-ka sum-tu wa ‘ala rizki-ka aftar-tu / O Allah, for Your sake I fasted, and I break the fast with the inheritance provided by You!”.

There is no need for these words, since there is something that was also reported by Abu Dawud (2357) from the words Ibn ‘Umar May Allah be pleased with him and his father! - who said: “When breaking the fast, the Messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him! - said: “Zahaba-z-zamau wa-btallyati-l-‘uruku, wa sabata-l-ajru in sha’a-Llah / The thirst is gone, the veins are filled with moisture and the reward is already waiting, if Allah pleases!” .

This hadeeth was named authentic by al-Albani in Sahih Abi Dawud.

Second:

It is advisable for a fasting person to turn to Allah with prayers, both during fasting and when breaking the fast. Ahmad(8030) narrated from words Abu Hureyra- may Allah be pleased with him! - who said: “I said: “O Messenger of Allah, verily, when we see you, our hearts soften and we become people [aiming] for the eternal world, but when we leave you, this world again deceives us, and we become passionate about their wives and children.” The Prophet replied: “If you always remained in the same state in which you are in my presence, then the angels would shake hands with you and visit you in your homes, and if you did not sin, then Allah would replace you another people who would commit sins in order to forgive them.” Then we said: “O Messenger of Allah, tell us about Paradise, what are the buildings in it?” He replied: “Bricks of gold and silver, mortar from a strong-smelling bowl, crushed stone from pearls and yahonta, dust from saffron. Whoever enters it will be prosperous, will not be subjected to anything bad, will live forever and will never die. His clothes won't wear out and he won't stop being young. The prayer of three people is not rejected: a just ruler who fasts while his fast lasts, and an oppressed one. This prayer is carried in the clouds and the gates of heaven open before it, and the Lord is Almighty and Great! - says: “With My Power I will help you, even if only from this moment!”.

Hadith authentic, as established Shu'ayb al-Arnaut in "tahkyk ul-musnad".

The version of at-Tirmidhi (2525) says: "... fasting, at the moment of breaking the fast."

This version was recognized as authentic by al-Albani in Sahih at-Tirmidhi.

You should ask Allah for Paradise, ask Him for refuge from the Fire, ask Him for the forgiveness of sins, and appeal to him with any other prayers legalized by the Sharia. As for the prayer: “Ashhadu al-la ilaha illa Allah, astagfiru-Llah, as'alu-ka-l-janna, wa a'uzu bi-ka min-n-nar / I testify that there is no other deity but Allah, I ask Allah for forgiveness, I ask You for Paradise and I seek protection from You from the Fire! ”, - then we did not meet her.

And Allah knows best!

Time to pray to Allah during Iftar

Question #14103:

The fasting person receives an answer to the prayer with which he addresses during iftar. And at what exact moment should you cry out with a prayer: before you start breaking the fast, in the process of breaking the fast, or after breaking the fast? Are there any special prayers transmitted from the Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him! - or which you can advise to read at this time?

Answer:

All praise belongs to Allah!

This question was put to the Sheikh Muhammad b. ‘Uthaymeen- may Allah have mercy on him! and he replied:

“One should turn to Allah with a prayer before iftar, during sunset, since at this moment humility, humility and the state of fasting are united in a person. All these are the reasons for receiving an answer to a prayer. After breaking the fast, the soul receives rest, delight, and sometimes even carelessness comprehends it.

However, transmitted from the Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him! - a prayer, even if it is authentically transmitted, took place after breaking the fast, and this is “Zahaba-z-zamau wa-btallyati-l-'uruku, wa sabata-l-adzhru in sha'a-Llah / Thirst is gone, the veins are filled with moisture and the reward is already waiting, if Allah wills!

Narrated by Abu Dawud and al-Albani recognized the message as good in Sahih Sunan Abi Dawud (2066).

It is pronounced only after iftar. Also, from some companions, his words are transmitted: “Allahumma la-ka sum-tu wa ‘ala rizki-ka aftartu / O Allah, for Your sake I fasted and with what You endowed me, I break my fast!”.

You can turn to Allah with such requests that you think are more suitable.

(“Lika’u-sh-shahri”, No. 8, Sheikh Muhammad b. Salih al-‘Uthaymeen).

When does an airplane pilot break his fast?

Question #37670:

When should an airplane pilot break his fast?

Answer:

All praise belongs to Allah!

“If, while on the ground, he breaks his fast after sunset, and then takes off in an airplane and sees the sun again, then he will not be obliged to refrain from breaking the fast, since he fully completed the observance of the fast that day and there is no need for him to to repeat the performance of that rite of worship which he had already completed. If he takes off before the sun sets, and wants to complete the fast of this day, despite the fact that he is a traveler, then he will have to break his fast only when the sun sets in relation to the place in the air where he is. At the same time, the pilot is not allowed to deliberately lower the aircraft to a height where the sun is not visible in order to complete the post, since this is a trick. However, if he descends for technical reasons of flight and at the same time the solar disk disappears, then he should break his fast.

(From the oral fatwas of the Sheikh Ibn Baza. See booklet: Seventy Highlights About Fasting.)

Permanent Council speaks:

“If the fasting person is on an airplane and finds out by means of a watch and a telephone that iftar time has come in the nearest part of the earth, but due to the aircraft being in the air he will still see the sun, then he will not have the right to complete the fast, for Allah Almighty speaks: "... and then fast until night"(Holy Quran 2: 187) - and since he sees the sun, it is not considered that night has come for him.

If he is on the ground and breaks his fast when the day is over with him, and after that the plane in which he is located rises into the air and he sees the sun again, then in this case he continues to remain non-fasting, since he must act according to to the position that exists in that part of the earth in which he was until the end of the day until he flew out ”(end of quote).

In another fatwa, the Permanent Council says: “If during the daytime of Ramadan a person is in flight and desires to continue fasting until the end of the day, then he will not be allowed to break his fast except after sunset” (“Majmu' fatawa al-Lajnati-d -Daima", 10 / 136 - 137).

Question No. 66605: What should the muazzin do first: break the fast or proclaim the adhan?

When does the muezzin break the fast: before adhan or after?

All praise belongs to Allah!

According to the basic rule, a fasting person should break his fast after the sun sets and night falls, in accordance with the words of the Almighty: “Eat and drink until you can distinguish the white thread of dawn from black, and then fast until night” (Holy Quran, 2: 187).

At-Tabari said: “As for the words: “... and then fast until night,” then the Almighty gives them a delimitation of the time of fasting, that is, indicates that its time ends with the onset of night. Similarly, He points out that the limit of the time of breaking the fast and the time in which it is allowed to eat, drink and have sexual intercourse is the moment the day begins and the night begins to fade. With the same words, He indicates that fasting is not observed at night, and that on fasting days one cannot break the fast in the daytime ”(end of quote).

"Tafsir al-Tabari", 3/532.

It is advisable for a fasting person to start breaking the fast immediately. Narrated from Sahl b. Sa'da - may Allah be pleased with him! - that the Messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him! - said: "People will be in goodness as long as they quickly begin to break the fast."

Al-Bukhari (1856) and Muslim (1098).

Ibn ‘Abdul-Barr - may Allah have mercy on him! - said: “It is sunnah to break the fast and delay the suhoor. Breaking the fast should be started immediately after it becomes known exactly about sunset. No one is allowed to break his fast at the moment when he has doubts about whether the sun has set or not, since the performance of the duty is not started except when there is confidence in its occurrence, and they do not stop performing it except when there is confidence in its occurrence. completion" (end of quote).

"at-Tamhid", 21/97, 98.

An-Nawawi - may Allah have mercy on him! - said: “This hadeeth encourages us to start breaking the fast immediately, immediately after it is definitely established that the sun has set. He says that the position of the Muslim community will be stable, and the Muslims themselves will be prosperous as long as they stably observe this sunnah ”(end of quote).

Sharh Muslim, 7/208.

As for the muazzin, if there are those who are waiting for him to start proclaiming the azan in order to start breaking the fast based on his azan, then he should immediately start proclaiming the azan so as not to cause people to be late in breaking the fast and thereby violate the sunnah . However, there is nothing wrong if, before starting to proclaim the adhan, he resorts to a light conversation, in the form of a sip of water, for example, which will not entail postponing the adhan.

If no one waits until he begins to proclaim the adhan, as in the case when he proclaims it for himself (if he is alone in the desert, for example), or when he proclaims the adhan for a group of people next to him (a group of travelers, for example), there is nothing wrong with breaking the fast before the adhan is called, because his companions will break the fast with him, even if he does not proclaim the adhan, and will not wait until he begins to proclaim it.

And Allah knows best!

Conversation among non-Muslims

Question #38125:

Is it possible to eat iftar together with non-Muslims, with Hindus and Christians, for example?

Answer:

All praise belongs to Allah!

Eating iftar with non-Muslims is permitted if there is a Sharia benefit in doing so, such as calling them to the Religion of Truth, or inclining their hearts to Islam, or anything similar that can be expected from their participation in eating iftar from those tables, which Muslims cover for a common iftar, as is done in some countries.

As for simply maintaining sociability with them and enjoying their company, this is a dangerous business, for one of the most important provisions of the foundations of the Religion and the duties of believers is adherence to the principle of "friendship and non-participation" (al-wala'u wa-l-bara'u ). This principle is indicated by a number of verses from the Book of Allah, and a number of hadiths from the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Of them:

The words of the Almighty: “You will not find people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, who would be friends with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if for them these opponents are fathers, sons, brothers or relatives. Allah established faith in their hearts and strengthened them with a spirit (light) from Himself. He will lead them into the Gardens of Paradise where rivers flow. They will stay in them forever. Allah is pleased with them [for their obedience to Him], and they are pleased with Him [for the way He rewarded them]. They are the party of Allah (following His orders and avoiding His prohibitions). Verily, the party of Allah is prosperous” (Quran, 58: 22);

The words of the Almighty: “O you who believe, do not take unbelievers as your helpers and friends instead of believers. Do you really want Allah to present against you a clear argument [revealing your hypocrisy]” (Quran, 4: 144);

The words of the Almighty: “O you who believe, do not take Jews and Christians as your friends and helpers. They are friends and helpers for each other. And whoever among you takes them as his friends and helpers, he is one of them. Verily, Allah does not guide a people who commit iniquity [by taking the disbelievers as friends]” (Quran, 5:51).

The words of the Almighty: “O you who believe, do not take as your close friends (such friends who can inquire about your secrets) those who are not from you (Jews, Christians and hypocrites). They do not miss the opportunity to harm you and rejoice in your difficulties. Animosity [towards you] has already appeared on their lips, but in their hearts lies even more [enmity]. We have explained to you the signs [regarding their enmity], if only you realize [this and do not maintain relations of friendship and mutual assistance with the infidels] ”(Quran, 3: 118).

Based on the foregoing, the answer to the question of the admissibility of sharing iftar with the unbelievers depends on the purpose for which this is done.

Can a doctor performing surgery delay iftar?

Question #49716:

My relative is a doctor. He wanted to ask if he is performing surgery, can he postpone iftar?

Answer:

All praise belongs to Allah!

First:

It is sunnah to start breaking the fast as soon as the sun sets. This is reported in the hadith of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Al-Bukhari (1975) and Muslim (1098) narrate from Sahl b. Sa'da that the Messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him! - said: "People will be in prosperity as long as they hurry to break the fast."

An-Nawawi writes: “This hadith encourages us to hurry up with breaking the fast as soon as the sun sets. Its meaning is that the position of the Muslim community will be stable, and the Muslims themselves will be in prosperity as long as they observe this sunnah. If they start postponing breaking the fast, it will be a sign of their crisis.”

Hafiz said: "According to Mukhallab, this act makes it possible to exclude the possibility of adding part of the night time to the daytime, and is also a manifestation of the greatest indulgence towards the fasting person and in the best way gives him strength for worship. Scientists unanimously agree that the moment of breaking the fast is the establishment of sunset by direct observation of it, or from information received from two reliable people. Also, according to a more reliable opinion, the testimony of one reliable person will be sufficient ”(end of quote).

“ash-sharhu-l-mumti’” (6/268) also speaks of another wisdom of timely breaking the fast: “... this is a hasty striving for what Allah has made permissible. Allah is holy and great! – Generous, and Generous loves when people use His Generosity. He loves it when His servants, as soon as the sun sets, rush in haste to what He has permitted them ”(end of quote).

Ibn Daqiq al-‘Id said that this hadeeth contains an answer to the Shiites who delay breaking the fast until the stars appear.

Second:

It is sunnah to break the fast with fresh dates. If they are not, then dry dates. If there are no dry dates, then water. If the fasting person does not find water, then he can break his fast with any food or drink that he has. If he does not have anything at all, then he breaks the fast through intention, that is, he expresses the intention to break the fast and thereby shows haste in breaking the fast and acts in accordance with the Sunnah.

Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymeen writes in "ash-sharkh-l-mumti" (6/269): "If a fasting person does not find any water, no other drink, no food, then he simply expresses the intention to break the fast, and it will be for him sufficient."

Therefore, if this doctor cannot break his fast with fresh or dry dates, then he breaks his fast with water. If he is unable to do this due to being busy with a surgical operation, then it will be sufficient for him to express his intention for iftar, and thus the sunnah will be observed by him.

And Allah knows best!

Question from China about iftar time

Question #93148:

I am a student studying in China. The city in which I am located is surrounded by mountains from the west. The Muslim community living here breaks their fast based on the time indicated in the schedule taken from the Internet. As for me, I look at the solar disk. As soon as he goes behind the mountains, I break my fast and perform the evening prayer (Maghrib) in order to observe the Sunnah of immediately breaking the fast and immediately performing the evening prayer, and also to be different from the Jews. Am I doing the right thing? Do I have to burden myself with climbing to a very high place, equal in height to mountains, in order to observe the solar disk?

Answer:

All praise belongs to Allah!

It is allowed to rely on the calculations of the time of prayers, if nothing confirms that there are errors in these calculations. Although errors in these calculations are often found. Not in all, of course, but it often happens that they incorrectly indicate the time of morning prayer (fajr), and in some - the time of night prayer (‘isha). As for the evening prayer (Maghrib), errors regarding its time are insignificant, and for the majority of people it is not difficult to confirm whether the time indicated in the schedule is correct, or to identify an error in it by self-observation of the sun.

In any case, the sunset, after which the fasting person is allowed to break his fast and the time for evening prayer comes, is considered to have taken place when the solar disk actually disappears behind the horizon, and not when it disappears behind a mountain or building.

From the companions - may Allah be pleased with him! - it is transmitted that they called the time of sunset the hiding of the sun under the veil (of the night). The phrases they used were different, someone said: “the sun has set” (“gabati-sh-shamsu”), others said: “hid behind a veil” (“tawarat bi-l-hijab”), still others said: “ the sun has set” (“vajabati-sh-shamsu”). All these phrases have one meaning - the setting of the entire solar disk beyond the horizon (gyyabu-l-kuliyu li-kursi-sh-shamsi).

You don't have to climb a mountain or any hill. You must account for the call based on where you are. Relative to this place, the sun should go below the horizon, but just setting it behind the mountain is not a sunset.

Since because of the mountains you do not have the opportunity to see the sun at sunset, you can determine the time of sunset by the sign mentioned by the Messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him! – and this is the approach of darkness from the East.

Al-Bukhari (1954) and Muslim (1100) reported from the words ‘Umar b. al-Khattaba- may Allah be pleased with him! - about how the Messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him! - said: "If the night comes from this side (from the east), the day moves away to that side (towards the west), and the sun sets, then the fasting person breaks his fast."

An-Nawawi said: “Regarding these words of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him! – scientists say: “Each of these three signs presupposes the others and is accompanied by them. The Prophet mentioned them together so that a person who is in a gorge or in a similar place and does not have the opportunity to watch the sunset, based on the approach of darkness and the removal of light ”- and Allah knows best!” (end of quote).

If you cannot do this, then there will be nothing wrong with being guided by the schedule of prayers, since at least what they give you is a solid assumption (galyabatu-z-zann) about the onset of prayer time, unless, of course, nothing it has not been established that this timetable is erroneous.

And Allah knows best!

If the muazzins proclaim adhan at different times, then which one of them should be relied upon when breaking the fast?

Question #93577:

If the adhan from one mosque is distributed at a different time than in another mosque, while both of these mosques are located in the same area not far from each other, then which of them will be able to determine the start of iftar?

Answer:

All praise belongs to Allah!

When deciding on the onset of the time of breaking the fast, one should rely on the sunset. Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him! - said: "If the night comes from this side, the day goes to that side, and the sun sets, then the fasting person breaks his fast."

Al-Bukhari (1954) and Muslim (1100).

Today, most mu'azzins rely on prayer schedules. There is nothing wrong. It's just that some of the mu'azzins are indifferent to the accuracy of the time on their watches.

Therefore, if the mu'azzins announce the azan in different ways, then you should either wait until the azan begins to be announced by the one who is more scrupulous about the time than the rest, so that he starts to announce the azan immediately, as soon as the time due for him comes, neither earlier nor later, and rely on his azan, and not on someone else, or you can rely on the schedule yourself, first making sure that your hours are accurate, even if the muazzin does not announce the azan at the time specified in your schedule.

And Allah knows best!

Does the excess (israf) in iftar meals reduce the reward of fasting?

Question #106459:

Does excessive fasting reduce the reward of fasting?

Answer:

All praise belongs to Allah!

“This does not reduce the reward for the post. Even committing sinful acts after fasting does not reduce the reward for it. However, this falls under the words of the Almighty: "Eat and drink, but do not overdo it; verily, He does not like those who are overbearing."(Quran, 7:31).

Israf (wastefulness) is itself forbidden, and iktisad (economical) puts life in order.

If they have a surplus, then let them give it as sadaqa (donations). It will be better that way” (end of quote). (Dear Sheikh Muhammad b. ‘Uthaymeen “Fatawa-l-Islamiyya”, 2 / 118).

During the holy month of the Muslim calendar, which is called Ramadan in Arabic, or Ramadan in Turkish, Muslims are required to observe a strict fast - limit yourself to drinking, eating and intimacy.

Following the rules of Ramadan, mature people give up their passions. This is how they get rid of negativity.

The post ends with the great holiday of Uraza-Bayram.

Features and Traditions of Ramadan Fasting - What Are Iftar and Suhoor?

fasting believers test the strength of the human spirit. Compliance with the rules of Ramadan makes a person comprehend his way of life, helps to determine the main values in life.

During Ramadan, a Muslim must restrict yourself not only in food, but also carnal satisfaction of their needs, as well as other addictions - for example, smoking. He must learn control yourself, your emotions.

Observing simple fasting rules, every believing Muslim should feel poor and starving, since the available benefits are often perceived as ordinary.

It is forbidden to swear in Ramadan. There is an opportunity to help the needy, the sick and the poor. Muslims believe that prayers and monthly abstinence will enrich everyone who follows the tenets of Islam.

There are two main prescriptions for fasting:

Follow the rules of fasting sincerely from dawn to dusk
Completely refrain from your passions and needs

And here are a few conditions for what a fasting person should be:

Over 18 years old
Muslim
not insane
Healthy physically

There are those for whom fasting is contraindicated, and they have the right not to observe it. These are minor children, the elderly and pregnant women, as well as those women who are menstruating or going through the time of postpartum cleansing.

Fasting Ramadan has several traditions

We list the most important:

Suhoor

Throughout Ramadan Muslims eat early in the morning, even before dawn. They believe that Allah will greatly reward such an action.

During the traditional suhoor don't overeat but you should eat enough food. Suhoor gives strength for the whole day. It helps Muslims to stay sane and not be angry, as hunger often causes anger.

If a believer does not perform suhoor, then his day of fasting remains in force, but he does not receive any reward.

Iftar

Iftar is evening meal, which is also performed during fasting. You need to start breaking the fast immediately after sunset, that is after the last day(or the fourth, penultimate prayer on that day). After Iftar follows Isha - night prayer of Muslims(the last of the five obligatory daily prayers).

What you can not eat in the post of Ramadan - all the rules and prohibitions

What to eat during Suhoor:

Doctors recommend eating complex carbohydrates in the morning - cereal dishes, sprouted grain bread, vegetable salad. Complex carbohydrates will provide the body with energy, despite the fact that they are digested for a long time.
Dried fruits - dates, nuts - almonds and fruits - are also suitable.

What not to eat during Suhoor

Avoid protein foods. It takes a long time to digest, but loads the liver, which works without interruption during fasting.
Should not be consumed
You can not eat fried, smoked, fatty foods in the morning. They put extra stress on the liver and kidneys.
Refrain from eating fish during Suhoor. After it you want to drink

What not to eat in the evening after adhan

Fatty and fried foods. It will harm health - cause heartburn, deposit extra pounds.
Eliminate from food fast food- various cereals in bags or noodles. You won’t get enough of them and literally in an hour or two you will want to have a meal again. In addition, such products will cause appetite even more, as they contain salt and other spices.
You can't eat sausage and sausages. It is better to exclude them from your diet during the fast of Ramadan. Sausages affect the kidneys and liver, satisfy hunger for only a few hours, and are also able to develop thirst.

Despite prohibitions and strict rules, there are benefits from fasting.:

Rejection of carnal passions
A person must understand that he is not a slave of his body. Fasting is a serious reason to give up intimacy. Only by refraining from sinful things can a person preserve his purity of soul.
Self improvement
By observing fasting, the believer is more attentive to himself. He gives birth to new character traits, such as humility, tolerance, obedience. Feeling poverty and deprivation, he becomes more resilient, gets rid of fear, more and more begins to believe and learn what was previously hidden.
Gratitude
Having gone through the refusal of food, a Muslim becomes closer to his Creator. He realizes that the innumerable blessings that Allah sends are given to man for a reason. The believer gains a sense of gratitude for the gifts sent.
An Opportunity to Experience Mercy
Fasting reminds people of the poor, and also calls to be merciful and help those in need. Having gone through this test, the believer remembers kindness and humanity, as well as the fact that everyone is equal before God.
frugality
Fasting teaches people to be economical, limit themselves and curb their desires.
Strengthens health
The benefit to the physical state of human health is manifested in the fact that the digestive system is resting. In a month, the intestines are completely cleansed of toxins, toxins and harmful substances.

Suhoor and iftar (morning and evening meals)

Eating should be stopped before it starts to get light, before the first obvious signs of approaching dawn:

Iftar (evening meal) it is advisable to start immediately after sunset. Postponing it to a later time is undesirable.

Please tell me how to start a meal in the holy month of Ramadan? Indira.

Water, dates, fruits.

The imam of the mosque in which I perform a collective prayer said that eating should be stopped after the call for morning prayer, and the rest of the food that is in the mouth at the time of the call should be spit out and rinsed out. In the place where I live, calls can be heard simultaneously from several mosques, with a time interval of 1 to 5 minutes. How important is it to stop eating from the moment I heard the first call? And if such omissions were made, is it necessary to make up for the post? Gadzhi.

You don't need to complete the post. The calculation is approximate in any case, and the verse says in this regard: “... Eat, drink until you begin to distinguish the white thread from the black one [until the dividing line between the coming day and the outgoing night appears on the horizon] at dawn. And then fast until night [until sunset, abstaining from eating, drinking and intimate relationships with your spouse]” (see Holy Quran, 2:187).

On fasting days, stop eating at the start of the adhan from any local mosque, including those where 1-5 minutes later.

My friend during fasting ate from the evening and did not get up for suhoor. Is his post correct from the point of view of the canons? After all, as far as I know, you need to wake up before sunrise, say the intention and eat. Vildan.

Morning meal is desirable. Intention is, first of all, intentionality with the heart, a mental attitude, and it can be realized in the evening.

Until what time can you eat in the morning? The schedule includes Fajr and Shuruk. What to focus on? Arina.

It is necessary to stop eating about an hour and a half before dawn. You are guided by the time of Fajr, that is, by the beginning of the morning prayer time.

During Ramadan, it so happened that either I didn’t hear the alarm, or it didn’t work, I overslept Suhoor. But when I woke up for work, I spoke my intention. Tell me, does a fast observed in this way count? Arslan.

Why does the fast start before the morning azan? If you eat after imsak and before adhan, is fasting valid? If not, why not? Lobster.

The fast is valid, and the time reserve (prescribed in some schedules) is for safety net, but there is no canonical need for it.

Why do all sites write the time “imsak”, and it is always different, although everyone refers to the hadith that even during the adhan for the morning prayer, the Prophet allowed to chew? Gulnara.

I am 16 years old. This is the first time I am holding an eye and I still don’t know much, although every day I find something new for myself about Islam. This morning I slept longer than usual, woke up at 7 in the morning, did not utter my intention, I was tormented by remorse. And I also had a dream that I was fasting and took food ahead of time. Maybe these are some signs? For the whole day I can not come to my senses, my heart is somehow hard. Did I break my post?

I got into an argument with a friend. He takes suhoor after the morning prayer and says that it is permissible. I asked him to provide evidence, but I did not hear anything intelligible from him. Explain, if you don't mind, is it possible to eat after the time of the morning prayer? And if so, until what period? Muhammad.

There is no such opinion and never has been in Muslim theology. If a person intends to fast, then the deadline for eating is the azan for the morning Fajr prayer.

I hold a sacred post. When the time for the fourth prayer comes, I first drink water, eat, and then go to pray... I am very ashamed that I do not pray at first, but hunger takes over. Am I committing a big sin? Louise.

There is no sin if the prayer time is not up. And it comes out with the onset of the time of the fifth prayer.

Is fasting valid if I have eaten within 10 minutes of the adhan for the morning prayer? Magomed.

You will have to make up for it with one day of fasting after the month of Ramadan.

We read a prayer before they start breaking the fast, although it says on your website that it is read after iftar. How to be? farangis.
