Combining fasting the six days of Shawwaal with fasting the 13th,14th and 15th of the lunar month

During the month of Ramadhaan and after breaking her fast at sunset, a woman intended to perform ablution for Maghrib prayer but detected the commencement of menses in the form of a brown secretion which preceded blood flow.

Drinking water thinking that the sun had set
I had to make up for a day of fasting that I missed last Ramadhaan and I actually did that before the advent of the current Ramadhaan. Here is my question: Having performed the Fajr Prayer, I slept and when I woke up, I looked at the clock and thought that the sun had already set. So, I drank a cup of water and then returned to sleep again. When I.. More

A fasting person unintentionally has something in his mouth
Once, during the daytime in Ramadhaan, I was preparing a Licorice drink that we drink in Egypt, which consists of a powder with dust-like granules. It is as if some of it flew and I felt its sweetness in my throat. What is the Sharee’ah ruling on my fasting of that day? Taking into consideration that this unintentionally happened, should I make.. More

A stomach discharge while sleeping and its impact on the validity of fasting
One day in Ramadhaan, I woke up feeling acidity in my mouth that came from my stomach. Nevertheless, I do not know whether some of that acidity returned to my stomach or not because I was sleeping.

Validity of fasting of a woman who delayed Ghusl for menses until after Maghrib
Last Ramadhaan, I was menstruating, and on the last day of my menstruation, I had my Sahoor (pre-dawn meal) and had the intention of fasting. No blood discharge occurred during the day and I completed my fasting until sunset. However, I did not perform Ghusl except at the time of the Maghrib prayer. What is the Sharee‘ah ruling on this?

Pretending to break the fast
A fasting person wanted to joke with his friends; hence, he brought a cup of water and pretended that he was drinking to make them believe that he was not fasting. A drop of water, however, fell on his lip. He is unsure, and he has reasonable doubts. What is the Sharee‘ah ruling on this?.. More

Is fasting annulled by the fluid discharged when thinking about sexual desire?
My husband is away. Sometimes I imagine that we have sexual intercourse with each other, and that makes me feel something. This happens to me even during Ramadhaan. Taking into consideration that my marriage has not yet been consummated, I cannot differentiate between the fluid which necessitates Ghusl (ritual bathing) and that which necessitates.. More

Rulings on the expiation paid for not fasting
My grandfather is sick. I give on his behalf ten Dirhams per day from his own money as an expiation for not fasting. I do this sometimes after the Iftaar (sunset meal that concludes the fast), sometimes in the morning, and other times before the Iftaar. Does this free him from liability? Is it enough? What intention should I have when I give this.. More

Unintentional swallowing of water during Ramadan
I visited the dentist during the daytime one day in Ramadhaan. He started to clean my teeth using a tool that was pumping a great amount of water inside my mouth. I tried as much as I could to avoid swallowing water so as not to invalidate my fasting. At the end of the process, however, I swallowed some water unintentionally. What is the Sharee‘ah.. More

Breaking fasting due to pregnancy
I read in a contemporary book of Fiqh (jurisprudence) that if the pregnant woman breaks her fasting during Ramadhan, according to the sounder opinion, she will be required only to make expiation. Hence, my wife would break fasting when she was pregnant and expiate only. This was repeated for many years. Recently, however, I came to know that this opinion.. More
