Rinsing out the mouth and nose while fasting
BY ABU ABDILLAH
Question:
If the fasting person rinses his mouth or nose out, and some water reaches his stomach, does this break his fast?
Answer:
If the fasting person rinses out his mouth or nose, and some water enters into his stomach then it does not break his fast. This is because he did not mean for it to happen. Allah said in the Quran {There is no sin upon you for what you have done in error, but rather that which your heart has intended} (33:5).

The Virtues of Fasting ‘Ashura (10th of Muharram)
Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him said:
“For fasting the day of ‘Ashura, I hope that Allah will accept it as expiation for the year that went before.” [Reported by Muslim, 1976]
Ibn ‘Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said:
“I never saw the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, so keen to fast any day and give it priority over any other than this day, the day of ‘Ashura, and this month, meaning Ramadhan.” [Reported by al-Bukhari, 1867]

Best Investment Ever
“The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allâh, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allâh gives manifold increase to whom He pleases. And Allâh is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knower.” (Al-Baqarah 2:261)

FASTING THE DAY OF ’ARAFAH:
The ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah is the day of ’Arafah, since it is on this day that the pilgrims gather at the mountain plain of ’Arafah, praying and supplicating to their Lord.
It is mustahabb (highly recommended) for those who are not pilgrims to fast on this day, since the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) was asked about fasting on the day of ’Arafah, so he said,
“It expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year.” [4]

The Virtues of the Night of Al-Qadr
Source:Ahaadeeth As-Siyaam (pg. 141-143)
Translator:Al-Manhaj.Com Staff
Abu Hurairah (raa) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (saws) said: "Whoever performs the night prayer on the night of Al-Qadr with Eemaan (firm belief) and seeking reward will have all his past sins forgiven." [1]
This hadeeth is evidence for the virtue of the night of Al-Qadr as well as performing qiyaam (night prayer) during it. And it indicates that it is a grand night, which Allaah has honored and made better than a thousand months, with regard to its blessing and the blessings found in the righteous deeds that are performed in it. Thus it is better than the worship of a thousand months and that is equivalent to eighty-three years and four months. Due to this, whoever performs qiyaam (night prayer) with true faith and while seeking reward in it, will be forgiven his past sins. There were certain verses revealed concerning this virtue:

Kissing, fondling and sexual activities in Ramaḍān
The permissibility of kissing and fondling (in Ramaḍān) for the one who can control himself and restrain himself from falling into that which is prohibited; and that is sexual intercourse.
And that which is intended by the word Al-Mubāsharah is the placing of one’s skin over another without a barrier and it can be utilised to mean sexual intercourse as in the statement of Allaah:
And this (latter) meaning is not intended here.
On the authority of ‘Āishah (may Allāh be pleased with her) that she said:
“The Messenger of Allaah (sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) used kiss me whilst I was fasting.” [Collected by Aḥmad, Abū Dāwūd, and it is in Silsilatu al-āḥādīth aṣ- ṣaḥīḥah(219)]
In another wording in a ḥadīth of hers she said:
The Messenger of Allaah (sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) wanted to kiss me so I said, “Verily I am fasting.” So he said, “And I am fasting.” Then he kissed me. [Collected by Aḥmad and others, see Silsilatu al-āḥādīth aṣ- ṣaḥīḥah (1/430)]
The great scholar, the scholar of ḥadīth Al-Albāni stated, ‘And in the ḥadīth is a proof for the permissibility for the fasting person to kiss his wife during Ramaḍān. And the scholars have differed concerning this into more than four sayings. The most preferred of them is the permissibility; however the condition of the one who is kissing is taken into consideration so that if he is a young man who fears for himself that he will take part in sexual intercourse which will spoil his fast, then he should refrain from that. And it is to this As-Sayyidah‘Āishah alluded to in the ḥadīth which will follow later which is reported from her:
“And which one of you can withhold from fulfilling your needs irb)”
Rather it is clearly reported from her, Aṭ-Ṭaḥāwi (1/346) collected it by way of Ḥurayth bin ‘Amar from Ash-Sh‘abi, from Masrūq, from her that she said:
“At times the Messenger of Allaah kissed me and fondled me whilst he was fasting, as for you then there is no harm for the one who is old in age and weak.”
And what supports this is his (sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) saying:
“Leave off that which is doubtful for that which is not doubtful”
Ramadan Kareem
Sheik Uthaymeen: said:
The ruling concerning this is, this phrase "Ramadan Kareem" is not correct, and the only phrase that should be said is "Ramadan Mubarak" or what resembles that. Because Ramadan is not the one that gives such that it can be called generous (Kareem), rather it is only ALLAH the Exalted that put virtue in it and made it a virtuous month and made the time period for performing (the fasting) a pillar from Islam.
Duaa for laylatul qadr ...
It is the last ten nights of ramadhaan- Allaahu Akbar! May Allaah accept all our `ibaadah and grant us tawfeeq Ameen!
Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: I asked the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam: ‘O Messenger of Allah, if I know what night is the night of Qadr, what should I say during it?’ He said: ‘Say: O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.’ “(Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and Tirmidhi).
اللْهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
The transliteration of this Dua is “Allahumma innaka `afuwwun tuhibbul `afwa fa`fu `annee”

Health Tips For Ramadan
Consume Slow Digesting Foods
In view of the long hours of fasting, we should consume slow digesting foods including fibre containing-foods rather than fast-digesting foods. Slow digesting foods last up to 8 hours, while fast-digesting foods last for only 3 to 4 hours.
Slow-digesting foods are foods that contain grains and seeds like barley, wheat, oats, millet, semolina, beans, lentils, wholemeal flour, unpolished rice, etc. (called complex carbohydrates). Fast-burning foods are foods that contain sugar, white flour, etc. (called refined carbohydrates).
Fibre-containing foods are bran-containing foods, whole wheat, grains and seeds, vegetables like green beans, peas, sem (papry), marrow, mealies, spinach, and other herbs like methie, the leaves of beetroot (iron-rich), fruit with skin, dried fruit especially dried apricots, figs and prunes, almonds, etc..
The foods eaten should be well balanced, containing foods from each food group, i.e. fruits, vegetables, meat/chicken/fish, bread/cereals and dairy products. Fried foods are unhealthy and should be limited. They cause indigestion, heartburn, and weight problems.

Siyaam - Fasting
Question 1
Is it permissible for a pregnant woman who is sick to stay at home and miss the ‘Eed prayer?
Answer:
Yes it is allowed for her not to go to the ‘Eed prayer due to sickness
Sheikh Muhammad Abdul-Wahhab Al- Banna (3rd Shawaal 1426)
Question 2
Can a pregnant woman break her fast?
Answer:
Firstly, every Muslim must know, male and female, that pregnancy on its own is not a reason for someone to break their fast. Rather, the pregnant woman has also been addressed to fast the month of Ramadan. For it is only one month in the year and a pillar in Islam.
Secondly, if the pregnant woman sees some sickness (due to her fasting) such that the fasting becomes difficult while pregnant, for example, she vomits or she gets headaches, in this situation she can break her fast and fulfill the fast afterwards.
Thirdly, If the pregnancy affects her unborn child such that she knows this by way of a trustworthy Muslim doctor (male or female) then she may break her fast also.
If she cannot find a Muslim doctor then a non Muslim doctor who is known for his skill in this field.
Question 3
What advice can you give us for this month of Ramadan?
Answer:
Let it be clear to every male and female Muslim that fasting is not prescribed to just keep away from food and drink but it also includes keeping away from evil actions. The Messenger sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said that whoever does not leave evil talk while fasting then Allaah has no need that he leaves his food and drink. One should strive to benefit much in this month and strive to do good deeds. One should fulfill the obligations and is encouraged to perform the extra duties. In this month the good deeds are magnified and the sins are forgiven. So I advise you to guard the obligations of Allaah, those obligatory duties such as the Prayer and the Zakah (Charity). I advise you to be righteous to your parents and to keep the ties with your family. You must fulfill your trusts and be truthful in speech. You must fulfill your promises and oaths and other than that from the good deeds.
Question 4
During ‘Eed prayer, some people say that you shouldn't hug each other as it is not from the sunnah, what do you say?
Answer:
I say that there is no harm in this as some of the pious predecessors did it.
