A Woman Sees Menstrual Blood after opening the fast but before praying Maghrib

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question:

A woman asks: The normal monthly menstrual blood showed after the opening of the fast and before I performed the Maghrib prayer; so is my fasting correct?

Answer:

Yes, it is correct. As long as it did not come upon you except after sunset, then it is not incumbent upon you to repeat (that day’s fasting), and that day’s fasting is correct. As for if the (menstrual) blood comes upon you before the adhaan, meaning before the setting of the sun, then (your) fasting on that day is ruined and you must repeat that day’s fasting. But as long as the (menstrual) blood came after the setting of the sun and after you have taken food for the opening of the fast, then the fasting of that day is correct and it is not incumbent upon you to (repeat it) Inshaa-Allaah.

Saeed Bin Jubayr (rahimahullaah) said: I said to Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu-anhumaa): ”Should I command the (Muslim) Ruler with good and forbid him from evil?” He (Ibn Abbaas) said: ”If you fear that he will kill you, then do not (do so).” I repeated the same (question), so he (Ibn Abbaas) repeated the same (answer). Then I repeated the same (question), so he (Ibn Abbaas) repeated the same (answer) and said: ”If you have to do that, then it should be between you and him (i.e. in private).” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:338]

It was said to Al-Hasan Al-Basri (rahimahullaah): Indeed, the people say that ”Whoever testifies that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah will enter paradise”; so he (i.e. Al-Hasan) said: ”Whoever testifies that none has the right to worshipped except Allaah and then he fulfills its rights and obligations, he will enter paradise”. [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: 224]

It was said to Al-Wahb Ibn Munabbih (rahimahullaah): ”Is not the testimony that ‘none has the right to be worshipped except Alllaah’ the key to paradise? He said: ‘Certainly, but there is not a key except that it has teeth; so if you come with a key that has teeth, it will open for you, otherwise it will not open for you.’ [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:224]

It was said to Sad Ibn Abee Waqqaas (radiyallaahu-anhu): ”Amongst the companions of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) your supplication is answered?” He said: ”I have never put a morsel of (food) in my mouth, except that I knew where it came from and where it originated.” [Jaami-ul Iloom Wal-Hikam: page: 115]

 

Our Salaf-Fudayl Ibn Iyaad ”What do we recognise?”

Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said:

”We do not recognize one (merely) due to his accomplishment of a lot of prayers and fasting; rather what is recognizable to us are generosity, guilelessness and being good natured, and to give sincere advice to the Ummah.” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: Page: 91]

 

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).
