14/3/1433 – 9/2/2012
Question: Some people stop eating before the Fajr Athaan and begin their fast a few minutes before the Fajr Athaan as a precaution.
Answer: We say; this is a type of innovation and it is not permissible for him to do this. It has been narrated from the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] that he would delay his Suhoor and the time gap between his Suhoor and him praying Fajr was a span similar to one reciting a few Ayaat from the Quraan.
Question: What is meant by the recommendation of one hastening him breaking his fast?
Answer: That the person hastens to break his fast by breaking it with anything that breaks the fast, as soon as the sun has set.
Question: What is included in the boundaries of the masjid?
Answer: The meaning of the term masjid is the actual place of prayer which has been endowed; therefore the main area where people pray in the building is the masjid. Furthermore, the surrounding areas of this prayer place, such as the doors that lead to other rooms and they don’t lead to the masjid, then we say this isn’t part of the masjid as it's not the place where people pray. This place is connected to the masjid but it's not within the definition of a masjid, thus it is not permissible for you to do I'tikaaf in these other rooms and they are not part of the rulings of the masjid.
Question: Is it prohibited for one to fast during the Days of Tashreeq?
Answer: Yes it is prohibited for one to fast during these days except for the one who came to Hajj doing Tamattu' or Qiraan and he didn’t sacrifice a Hadiy and he was unable to fast before the days of 'Eid, as it has been narrated in the hadeeth of A'ishah [May Allaah be Pleased with her].
Question: Is it permissible for one to face the grave of the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] and make Dua'a, even if he is not supplicating to him and he is supplicating to Allaah?
Answer: Visiting the grave of the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] has been legislated. As for Dua'a a the grave of the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] for the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] is permissible. As for supplicating for oneself at the grave of the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] is an innovation, doing Dua'a to the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] is Shirk.
Question: What is the ruling on one who had sexual relations with his wife during the night and he didn’t have a bath or Ghusl until after Fajr, is his fasting correct for that day?
Answer: Yes his fast is correct, as it has been narrated that the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] would do Ghusl from sexual impurities after the call to Fajr prayer. If one wakes up after he has missed the Fajr prayer and the sun has risen, then we say; as long as he intended to keep the fast before the Fajr prayer began then his fasting is correct. He doesn’t need to do anything except do Ghusl and pray the Fajr prayer.
Question: If someone has sexual relations with his wife during a obligatory fast that he is doing as part of expiation of breaking a vow, do the same rules apply on him as the one who has sexual relations with his wife during the day in Ramadaan?
Answer: If one breaks a vow then he must free a slave or feed or clothe ten poor people. If he is not able to do this then he must fast three days. With this being the case, if he starts the fast then he must complete it as it is obligatory upon him. This is similar to one making up a missed fast in Ramadaan, they are both obligatory and it is not permissible for him to break the fast.
As for the expiation for breaking the fast with sexual intercourse, then the ruling of this expiation is explicit for the one breaks the fast during the day in Ramadaan, so if one has intercourse in another obligatory fast then he needs to repeat that obligatory fast but there is no expiation upon him. If one is obliged not to eat because it is Ramadaan and he is not fasting, then the expiation would be upon him too. For example, if one finds out that Ramadaan has began and the sun has already risen, so he has missed the time for suhoor, then we say to this person don’t eat for the rest of the day. If he has intercourse with his wife after finding out that Ramadaan has begun, even if he is not fasting, then he would need to give expiation for having intercourse during the day of Ramadaan [Kafaarah Mughaladah] because he knew the month had begun and he had intercourse during the day in Ramadaan.
Question: If one needs to fast two months consequetivly due to he expiation fo breaking thr fast during the dya in Ramdaan because he had sexual relations with his wife, say his sequence broke, does he need to start the two months over again?
Answer: If was fasting the two months consequently and then he had sexual relations with his wife during this period during the day, so his fast is broken, then we say; he needs to continue for the next day as upon him is to fast two months alone as part of the expiation of Ramadan. As for breaking other obligatory fasts then the same expiation doesn’t apply
Question: Is it permissible for one to fast during the day for fasts like the fast of 'Arafah?
Answer: it is permissible to form your intention during the day but you won't have the reward for the full day, your reward begins when the fasting starts. As for the fasts that have special virtue or reward, then the same rule applies, meaning you will be rewarded to the equivalent to your intention.
Question sent via email to Shaykh Fahad al-Fuhayd [May Allaah Preserve him]
28/3/1433 – 20/2/2012
This question has come to me from England as their state is very serious.
The question is from a woman and she asks:
My husband has been possessed by a Jinn and now he has become very lazy in worship. He says that every time he prays the whispers from the Jinn increases. He is unable to recite Quraan for himself as he finds it very difficult to do so. He refuses for Ruqya to be done over him and I feel that I can't stay with him. He is very harsh with me and acts very paranoid towards me.
The question; is it permissible for me to organise some people to come to our house to perform Ruqya over him, without talking to him or gaining his permission?
Answer: There is no problem with some of the brothers in the religion do Ruqya over him and that they continue until the person affected is able to do Dhikr and recite the Quraan.
