Obeying the husband takes precedence over observing voluntary fasts
I decided to fast every other day. However, whenever my husband calls me for sexual intercourse, I respond, even though I am fasting. Yet, he does not agree with me concerning my fast. What is the viewpoint of the sharia about this?

Expiation for breaking the fast may be sent to any country
Two years ago, I had to break my fast in Ramadan because I had my menses. I have not yet fasted those days that I missed. What should I do? Please note that I live in the United States and that I might not find poor Muslims to give them the expiation that I have to pay for each day of fasting I have missed.

The status of the fast of someone who has physical contact with a non-mahram woman
There is someone who tried to have physical contact with a woman that was not his wife during the daytime in Ramadan, however, they did so with their clothes on. The person repented and wept in regret. Now, what is he required to do so as to expiate for this sin? Was the fasting invalidated by such a sin? If so, what should he do to make up for this.. More

One should fast for such a number of days as he believes sufficient for clearing his liability
As you definitely know, if a Muslim misses days of fasting in Ramadan, then he must make up later for the days that he has missed. Also, as you know, the age of puberty starts at 18. I have not fasted a single Ramadan since I reached the age of puberty and, unfortunately, I cannot remember how many days I have failed to fast since I was 18 onwards... More

Is it permissible for a Muslim to fast every other day and at the same time fast on Mondays, Thursdays, the middle three days (13,14 and 15) of each lunar month and occasions where fasting is recommended ?

Ruling on a Fasting Person Inducing Vomiting To Relieve Himself
I have a sister who was pregnant in Ramadan. She used to throw up during the daytime even though she was able not to do so, but she said that she would not feel relieved unless she threw up.

Hanging decorations for the coming of Ramadan is not Bid'ah
Assalamu Alaikum, I want to ask you about the ruling regarding decorating the houses with glittery star and moon-shaped decorations for the sake of the kids in anticipation of and to welcome Ramadan. I know it wasn't done in Prophetic times but if we just want the kids to get thrilled about the upcoming month and find joy in fasting etc, I thought it.. More

Delaying making up fasts until after the next Ramadan due to hardship
Assalamu Alaikum, during the two pregnancies, breast-feeding and brief illness of my small sons in the past decade, I had lost about 70 Ramadan fasts in all. My husband had always paid the fidya each year in time as and when I was unable to fast and it was our understanding at that time that this was sufficient, hence we didn't try to make up for the..

As-salaamu 3laikum. I have read all of your fataawa about the cases in which a pregnant or breastfeeding is excused from fasting and the different opinions about what she needs to do if she doesn't fast. However, I am confused about one thing. What happens in the case of a woman who has a number of children in close succession, so that there is no gap.. More
