Does Wet Dream Break The Fasting of a Person?

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Question: What is the ruling regarding being in a state of Janaabah during the daytime in Ramadaan; Does the one whom Janaabah comes upon breaks his fasting, and what is obligatory upon him to do?

Answer: Your question manifests the affair of the one who had a (wet) dream- meaning: You slept and had a dream and Janaabah came upon you, and not by way of sexual intercourse; rather you had a dream. So, have you broken your fasting?  Your fasting is sound [i.e. valid and not nullified],  however what is incumbent upon you is to take a bath, but (wet) dream during sleep does not ruin the fast. Your fasting is correct and nothing is incumbent upon you Inshaa-Allaah; rather what is incumbent upon you is to perform the bath of Janaabah only.

This did not take place due to sexual intercourse and what is well known [to ruin the fast] is sexual intercourse whilst being awake. This is what is disallowed and forbidden, and there is expiation for it. The [scholarly] statement about the sleeping person is that if he has a (wet) dream whilst sleeping, then his fasting is correct and what is incumbent upon him is to take a bath.

Do You Stop Eating Whilst the Adhaan is Being Called or After it has Been Called? -Shaikh Abdullaah Bin Muhammad Bin Humaid

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Ramadhan, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question: When does the one who (intends) to fast stop eating and drinking; it is whilst the Adhaan (of Fajr) is being called or after the Adhaan has been called?

Answer: The Islamic legislation commands cessation of (eating and drinking) when fajr arrives (i.e. when a person is certain that Fajr has entered), whether before the Adhaan or after the Adhaan (i.e. whether he hears the Adhaan being called after he is already certain that fajr has entered or whether he heard it thereafter after already being certain that it has entered). That is because Allaah said:

“And eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night), then complete your Saum (fast) till the nightfall.”
[Surah Al-Baqara: Ayah: 187]

However, the common practice is that the Mu-adh-dhin does not call the Adhaan except when fajr arrives. So when it is the case that it has being legislated to (cease eating and drinking) when the Adhaan is called, then it is incumbent to stop and not eat. Therefore, resolve to stop eating when the Adhaan begins, because in the majority of cases the Mu-adh-dhin does not call the Adhaan except when fajr arrives, especially the Mu-adh-dhin of Masjid Al-haraam (i.e. the Kabah).

Is It Allowed to Read the Qur’aan whilst in a State of Janaba? | Shaikh Zayd ibn Hadee al-Madkhalee

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Video.

This is from the lecture: “Beacons of Light” entitled as such due to this being the first time that we had linked up with Shaykh Zaid bin Haadee al Madhkalee and Shaykh Muhammad bin Haadi al Madhkalee (may Allah preserve them both). The two scholars gave advice towards recognising the blessings of Allah, the blessings of knowledge and the importance of spreading this knowledge.

This telelink took place in Markaz as-Salafi, Manchester.
