Can children who have not reached puberty fast?

According to the canons of Islam, immature children are exempt from fasting during the month of Ramadan. However, parents can, from an educational point of view, involve their children in fasting. In this case, the child can fast for one day, several days, or in another form, at the discretion of the parents.

How to teach a child to fast?

Parents should introduce their children to prayer as early as possible and show by example the importance of fasting. When it is clear that the child is ready for this test, you can invite him to fast for part of the day, gradually increasing the time.

At what age should children fast during the month of Ramadan?

Fasting in the month of Ramadan is prescribed from the onset of puberty, that is, from about 14.5 years.

Sexual intimacy during the month of Ramadan

What should a person do if he had intentional sexual contact with his wife during the daytime prayer?

The fast of someone who has intentional sexual intercourse during the day during Ramadan is broken. This day of Ramadan fasting must be replaced by a continuous 2-month fast. And only if this is beyond the power of the believer, he must feed 60 poor people (hadith from Abu Hureyra (may Allah be pleased with him). Al Bukhari No. 6087,6164. Muslim No. 1111)

What should a person do if he had unintentional sexual contact with his wife during uraza during the day?

If sexual contact occurred out of forgetfulness (without the intention of breaking the fast), then in this case the eid is not considered spoiled. As soon as a believer remembers that he is fasting, he needs to interrupt sexual intercourse.

Should a man make up for a day of fasting if he was in a state of defilement due to intercourse (intimacy with his wife) or emission (discharge of sperm), but bathed only after morning prayer?

The post is considered valid.

Is it possible for spouses to have sexual intercourse after breaking the fast and praying?

“It is permissible for you to be intimate with your wives on the night of fasting, for they are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them” (Quran 2:187)

During my fast, I had a wet dream (ejaculation), does this spoil my fast?

In case of unintentional ejaculation, the fast is not broken. You need to do complete ablution (ghusul).

Does the state of defilement affect the validity of the fast - for example, at night there was intimacy between the spouses, but they did not have time to perform a complete ablution by the beginning of the fast, or a person ejaculated at night and did not have time to bathe?

The state of Janaba (defilement) does not affect the validity of the fast. If a person wakes up in a state of defilement, his fast is valid. In general, being in a state of ritual purity is not a condition for the validity of fasting.

It is known that if the obligatory fast was broken by sexual intercourse, a fine would be imposed. And if there were several sexual contacts, then there are also several fines?

The fine does not increase. Only one fine is imposed - compensation for fasting for two months in a row; If even one day is missed, you will have to start over.

Name: Sorry
Question text: Assalamu alaikum! During the month of Ramadan, I watched porn for 2 days in a row, and it ended with masturbation. I'm very sorry about what happened. All this because when I see women on the street without a hijab, it’s as if all my organs are on fire inside. In order to get tired and not think about THIS, I participate in taraveh prayers until late, read the Koran, fast and am diligent in a good cause. [astagfirilloh] when I fast, my desires double. 1. I am 25 years old, not married 2. I have never had sexual intercourse 3. I have never drank vodka, etc. 4. I have never smoked 5. I don’t remember when I lied 6. I will try to perform all the prayers on time 7. I love children very much 8. I respect my elders What should I do so that Allah does not punish me on the day of judgment? If kaffarat has become obligatory for me, how can I do it to what extent? I am a healthy man, I can fast or feed the poor. Only in this Ramadan did I become thin and a little weak. It is convenient for me to end the kaffarat with feeding the poor. I ask you to please advise me with dolel. [la hawla wala quwwata iliah bilyah]

Answer:

A respected brother must perform tawba for watching something unlawful during Ramadan and committing a bad act, what is sometimes called in Shariah “indulging with the hand,” that is, masturbation. We are very glad that the brother realized his guilt, his sin, that he wants to repent. Once again we would like to encourage our brother to perform sincere tawbah. Those two days during which he looked at the unlawful and forbidden things during Ramadan, I would advise him to hold fast during those days if he kept the fast and looked at them during Ramadan. daytime days, then this craze must be endured. I can’t say that it is wrong, but the Prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallama, has a hadith, which says that if a person fasts: he abstains from eating, from food, from drinking, from intimacy with his wife, and at the same time does not abstain from bad affairs, then Allah Almighty Subhanahu wa Ta'ala does not need this person to fast. Based on this hadith, I would like to urge my brother, these two days during which he kept the fast, but at the same time porn films, I would like to urge him to return these days for each day one day, if, I don’t know, based on from the question asked, whether on the second or third day he ended all this - masturbation, for this day he must again return one day. It is not considered as direct sexual intimacy, because there is no sexual intimacy itself, there is only something similar, but the genitals as such, I mean, the woman’s genitals, they are absent, so there is no talk of direct and immediate sexual contact here goes, but we are talking about the fact that there was a discharge of sperm from a man - mani, what we call according to Sharia. If mani is overthrown, then a person, if it is overthrown according to his desire, according to his whim or desire, then a person simply returns one day in one day. Kaffarah of 60 days is not necessary, not required, but tawbah is required, true tawbah is repentance, and the return of this one day is required.

For each of these days, I would advise you to take one more day, that is, to make up, like kada, kaza, we say, one day for each day, make up for one more day for each day. Depending on whether the masturbation took place on the second day or on the third day, it means that this day should be returned, during which the overthrow occurred. If this happened on the third day, then we tell my brother that he is holding it for two days and in order to protect himself from the fact that these two days were not accepted for him while he was watching prohibited films, if at the same time masturbation occurred on the third day, then one day he definitely performs like a kaza, there is no longer any doubt, because he had an overthrow - a mani of sperm, this happened on his initiative, at his own request. So he returns one day in one day. Those two days that he watched, he returns them simply in order to get out of a state of doubt - shubha, so that there is no doubt whether he took the fast in those days or not, unless of course he did it during the daytime . If he watched these films at night, then he simply took upon himself, accepted a very big sin, and for this sin he must really sincerely repent, give the Almighty his word that he will never return to this again.

During the month of Ramadan, during fasting hours (from dawn to sunset), it is strictly forbidden to have direct sexual intimacy with your wife. From the moment the sun sets until the time the morning prayer begins, spouses can have intimate relations without any restrictions. If sexual intercourse took place during fasting hours, then the fast will be broken. A person who violates it in this way is obliged to atone for his sin by two months /1/ of continuous fasting /2/. If, due to physical weakness, he is not able to fast for two months in a row, then he must feed sixty poor people /3/, allocating for each the amount that on average he (the one who broke the fast) spends on the daily food of an adult member of his family /4/. As for the question of who is entrusted with this form of atonement for sin - the husband or the wife, all theologians speak about the husband and many about the wife /5/. But Shafi'i theologians, for example, are more inclined to believe that this form of atonement does not concern the wife. She will need to restore only one day of broken fast /6/.

In the case where the spouses committed this out of forgetfulness or ignorance, atonement for the sin is not provided.

If such a (deliberate) violation of fasting has been repeated many times, then the violated sanctity of each of the days of obligatory fasting must be redeemed by the spouses by two months of continuous fasting /7/.

1. Does ejaculation (ejaculation) break the fast? 2. If, without having had sexual relations with your spouse, you still ejaculate, does this break the fast? Timur.

1. If this is a wet dream, then the fast is not broken /8/, but if it is sexual intercourse with a spouse, then there is a problem. In atonement, you will have to fast for two months in a row.
2. See the previous answer or subsequent ones.

Is it possible for spouses to have sex during the day during Ramadan? intimate relationships, if they do not fast some days for a good reason? Rustam.

If they do not fast, for example when they are travelers, then everything that is permitted becomes permitted in the usual manner.

Is the fast considered broken if there was oral sex with the husband during the day during the fast? D.

The fast has not been broken. It is violated only by direct sexual intercourse.

During Ramadan last year, I kissed and hugged my wife during daylight hours. There was no sexual intercourse, but I ejaculated. It turns out that my fast that day was broken? After the month of Ramadan ended, I made up for this day. Was it enough to make up for the broken day or should I fast for two months in a row to atone? A.

Most likely, no, it was not violated, since there was no sexual intercourse (only kisses and hugs), and therefore more like a wet dream, which does not break the fast. There is no direct argument regarding the case you described in the Sunnah. At the same time, there is a theological opinion that such ejaculation breaks fasting /9/. Just in case, you fasted for one day. This is definitely enough /10/.

I am looking for an answer to one question about marital intimacy during Lent. I read in the material “ Marital intimacy during fasting"that oral sex does not break the fast. I would like to clarify whether this also includes oral sex by the wife of her husband’s genital organ, if subsequent ejaculation occurs? This question worries me very much. Rasim.

Since as a result of the process you described (not just kisses and hugs, but something much more) ejaculation occurred, your fast was broken /11/. Replenish it one to one after completing the month of Ramadan. This will be enough /12/.

Does strong excitement spoil the fast? My wife and I got very carried away during the day, but did not get to the point of sexual intercourse. I would like to know whether the fast was broken or not?

The fast is not broken if there was no direct sexual intercourse.

Two years ago, during Lent, I had intimate sex with my girlfriend. What does this entail? Ruslan.

This does not break the fast.

If she was not your wife, then such a relationship is a sin, a serious sin, regardless of which month of the year it happened.

Is the fast broken if you kiss your wife on the lips during the daytime?

Please tell me, is it possible to hug and kiss your wife during the day, during fasting?

Is it possible to kiss during the month of Ramadan? After all, saliva is transmitted during a kiss .

While fasting, you can kiss your wife. The Prophet Muhammad himself (may the Almighty bless him and greet him) kissed his wife ‘Aisha in Ramadan during the daytime, which is reported from her words in several reliable hadiths /13/.

Let me remind you that fasting is abstaining from food, drink and sexual intercourse from dawn to sunset.

1. Is it possible to kiss your wife during the month of Ramadan while fasting? I'm surprised after reading your answer. I wanted to make sure again. 2. My friend is getting married. Is it possible to read nikah in the month of Ramadan during the day, during fasting?

1. Yes, you can, and you can kiss and hug. The permissibility of this is clearly stated in reliable hadiths /14/.
2. Yes, you can. Definitely.

Is the fast broken if you masturbate at night?

Not violated.
Read more about what you asked in my book “ Men and Islam».

Tell me, is it possible to masturbate during the daytime during the fast?

You can’t, it will break your fast /15/. Let me note that a wet dream (ejaculation in a dream) does not break the fast.

My wife is a Christian, but we got married according to Islamic canons. She respects my religion. I know that during fasting you can be intimate with your wife after sunset, but my wife is attracted to me in the morning, after sunrise. Will it be a violation of the fast if I provide her with “minimal intimate caresses” without engaging in sexual intercourse? Alexander.

Intimate caresses do not break the fast /17/, but strictly beware of close proximity (sexual intercourse)! /18/

/1/ He will be able to start it only after the end of the month of Ramadan and the holiday of breaking the fast (Eid al-Adha).
/2/ The form of atonement for deliberately broken fasts mentioned here applies only to the month of Ramadan. If the two-month fast is suddenly interrupted, you will have to start all over again. It is important to note that two months of continuous fasting should not fall on holidays (Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Fitr), when fasting is prohibited (haram). As for the menstrual cycle in women, these periods are not considered a violation of the continuity of the two-month fast. That is, during this period the woman interrupts the post-atonement, and upon completion, continues, taking into account those days that she has already fasted. If a person has made a mistake in counting the days, then he should not resume fasting from the very beginning.
/3/ Theologians of the Hanafi madhhab allowed the possibility of feeding one beggar for two months. Shafi'i theologians considered it appropriate to limit themselves to the text of the hadith, which talks about feeding “sixty poor people.”
/4/ The mentioned difficult form of atonement for sin is provided for by the canons only in the case of breaking the fast by deliberately engaging in sexual intercourse with a wife (husband). See, for example: ‘Ali Jum’a M. Fatawa ‘asriya [Modern fatwas]. In 2 volumes. Cairo: al-Salam, 2010. Vol. 2. P. 71. Some scholars spoke about a similar atonement in case of breaking the fast by deliberately eating and drinking water. However, this theological judgment does not have direct confirmation in the verses and reliable hadiths, and therefore remains a judgment with which one may not agree. See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-Islami wa adillatuh [Islamic law and its arguments]. In 11 volumes. Damascus: al-Fikr, 1997. Vol. 3. P. 1709. Here it is useful to recall the hadith: “If a believer who did not belong to any of the categories exempt from fasting did not fast on one of the days month of Ramadan, [then let him know that] he cannot make up for this day even with a whole century of fasting. [That is, every day of obligatory fasting is extremely important and valuable. If a person for whom fasting is obligatory ignores this, neglects this form of worship of the Creator, and misses a day, then not a single day of earthly life will be able to compensate for this loss. The scale is huge and unique. Of course, the believer makes up for what he missed in the future, but no other day of the year has any special significance for each day of the month of Ramadan].” Hadith from Abu Hurayrah; St. X. Ahmad, Abu Daud, Ibn Majah and others. See, for example: At-Tirmidhi M. Sunan at-Tirmidhi [Code of hadiths of Imam at-Tirmidhi]. Beirut: Ibn Hazm, 2002. P. 238, Hadith No. 722; Abu Dawud S.

In 2 volumes. Beirut: al-Kalam, 1996. T. 1. P. 308.
/5/ It is important to mention that along with these two months of fasting-atonement, one should make up for the broken day of fasting in the month of Ramadan with one day of fasting. That is, a total of two lunar months plus one day.
/6/ The same opinion is shared, for example, by the famous theologian of our time ‘Ali Jum’a, relying on an authentic hadith, which speaks of the husband and nothing is mentioned about the wife. See: 'Ali Jum'a M. Fatawa 'asriya. T. 1. P. 91.

Question: Is it possible for spouses to kiss on the lips during Muslim fasting? What kind of kiss can break the fast?

Answer: If the husband is confident in himself, sure that by kissing his wife he will not get aroused and will not break the fast (by sexual intercourse, ejaculation, etc.), then even in this case, kissing his wife during fasting is undesirable. If there is a possibility of arousal from a kiss or other caresses, then it is completely sinful to do this! If ejaculation occurs during a kiss,... Swallowing the spouse’s saliva also breaks the fast.

Question: If a couple made love at night during the month of Ramadan and forgot about time, and at this time the call to morning prayer sounded, what to do in this situation and is the fast considered broken? I also heard that men who break their fast due to having an intimate relationship need to fast continuously for two months in a row. Does my husband also need to fast for two months now?

Answer: If the azan (the time for morning prayer) finds the spouses having sexual intercourse, they must immediately interrupt the intercourse, then perform the obligatory ritual bathing and. If the spouses hesitate and do not interrupt sexual intercourse at the same moment as dawn comes, then their fast is considered broken. Despite this, they are both charged with the duty to avoid everything that is prohibited to the fasting person. Also, both spouses need to make up for this fast after the month of Ramadan.

On top of that, a fine () is imposed on the husband, which, according to canonical sources, consists of freeing a slave, and since in our time there are no slaves, this type of fine is generally excluded. In this case, he must fast for two lunar months in a row, without missing a day between fasts. For example, if during the observance of these penalty points there is a break for even one day, all the points should begin to be compensated again. If a person is unable to observe a continuous fast for two months due to weakness, illness, etc., he is obliged to feed 60 poor people, giving each of them one mudda (600 grams) of grain.

Question: Spouses observing fasting indulged in caresses without engaging in intimacy, but at the same time one of the spouses or both had an orgasm. Does this break the fast and what should they do in this situation?

Answer: An orgasm that occurs as a result of excitement from a spouse’s kiss, caresses, etc., breaks the fast. Anyone who has experienced an orgasm must take a bath and beware of everything that is prohibited for a fasting person before sunset. After Ramadan, it is necessary to compensate for broken fasts in a similar way.

Question: I heard that during the month of Ramadan, it is not advisable for spouses to make love frequently in the evenings. Is this true?

Answer: Yes, it's true. The undesirability is argued by the fact that frequent fasting weakens the body, which can subsequently aggravate the observance of fasting.

Question: I have genital candidiasis, known as thrush, and to avoid staining my underwear, I use tampons. Is it possible to use tampons during fasting or is it better to use pads?

Answer: You cannot use tampons during fasting, since the penetration of any object into the human cavity through natural openings, which include the genitals, breaks the fast. Pads, unlike tampons, do not break the fast.

Answered questions Muhammad-Amin Magomedrasulov

A woman must fast during the month of Ramadan, just like a man. Only she needs to be more careful about her language, not to gossip, not to use foul language. We must not forget that the month of Ramadan is a month of cleansing from sins. And the incontinence of our language can spoil our fast, says the head of the organizational department of the Caucasus Muslims Office, Haji Fuad Nurulla.

“Fasting is permitted not to be observed during pregnancy and lactation if fasting may harm the health of the mother or the health of the child. In such situations, it is necessary to consult a specialist,” the theologian told the Azerbaijani publication Trend Life. - If the fast caused harm to the health of the mother, then upon recovery she should not pay a fine of one mudd (650 grams) of wheat, but if she missed the fast due to the risk of harming the health of the child, then it is necessary to restore the missed days of fasting, and it is advisable before the onset next month Ramadan. If a fast was missed due to the risk of a child’s illness, then the woman must, along with compensation for the missed fast, pay one mudd for each missed day.”

According to Haji Fuad Nurullah, a woman in the month of Ramadan has a chance to receive a special reward from Allah Almighty and His mercy.

“Helping all members of her family wake up in time so that they have time to eat before morning prayer, preparing food for iftar for all household members, a woman receives the special mercy of the Almighty. According to legend, if a woman feeds a fasting person, she will receive the same reward as the fasting person will receive.”

With all the abundance of literature about Muslim fast, articles and books, some aspects of the characteristics of women's fasting remain open. To clarify them, Trend Life turned to the akhund of the “Teze Pir” mosque, Haji Faiz Nagizade.

- Is it possible for a fasting woman to wear makeup and scent herself with incense?

This is not prohibited, but it is better to refrain. In principle, a woman can always put on makeup, perfume and wear jewelry, but only for the sake of her husband, and not in order to attract the attention of other men. By the way, during fasting, a woman is exempt from fasting for some days due to natural circumstances (“critical days”), but must make up for these days after the holiday of Ramadan.

- Is it possible for a housewife or a cook to taste food when preparing food?

You can taste food, but do not swallow it, but spit it out. If food is swallowed out of forgetfulness or unconsciously, then the weapon is not considered interrupted.

Some married couples categorically refuse intimate relationships during the month of Ramadan. Is this correct?

Naturally, this time of fasting is unacceptable, but after breaking the fast in the evening before morning prayer, intimate relationships are permitted, but with the condition complete ablution until morning prayer."

Common mistakes women make while fasting

1. Some women do not adhere to the recommended actions and remembrances that should be said before and after the obligatory prayer, and limit themselves only to the obligatory prayers themselves, and sometimes read them hastily and without due reverence.

2. Some women break the fast as soon as they feel the menstrual blood coming out, but without seeing it, which is wrong.

3. Some women mistakenly think that it is forbidden to try food during fasting.

4. Some women believe that if they are cleared of bleeding after menstruation or childbirth, the fast does not count until they perform complete ablution.

5. Some women refrain from contact with their husbands at night under the pretext that sexual intercourse is completely prohibited during Ramadan, but this is not true: intimacy is allowed at night until dawn.

6. Some women often get angry, have a quick temper, scream at the slightest provocation, beat their children, scold and even curse them; if you ask them why they are so angry, they refer to fasting; but this is wrong, for fasting pacifies the soul and teaches patience.

7. Some women spend most of their time in the kitchen, often skipping prayer because of this.

8. Some women deliberately go shopping often, thus spending time after breaking the fast, shopping and attending parties held outside the home.

9. Some wives do not force their daughters to fast when they reach menstrual maturity; They spend the days of Ramadan without fasting under the pretext that they are still small and fasting may tire them.

10. Some women force children (boys and girls) who have reached the age of ten to give up fasting under the pretext that they need to take exams, etc.
