Add as a preferred source on Google

Allah says in the Qur'an, fasting during the month of Ramazan is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you so that you may achieve Taqwaa (righteousness, god-fearing). A person who has Taqwaa loves to do good and avoids evil things for the sake of Allah. Fasting is an act of obedience and submission to Allah's will and commands with the highest commitment, sincerity and faithfulness to seek Allah's mercy. This year the festival will be celebrated from 14 April.

There are some important rules of Ramadan fasting so that it is valid and accepted by Allah.

Having Pre-Dawn Meal (sahur)

This is very important to start the fast. If you fast without eating anything in sahur, your fast will not be valid. There are immense rewards and blessings in taking sahur. The best time for sahur is the last half hour before dawn or the time forFajrprayer.

Iftar Or Break-Fast

Break your fast (iftar) immediately after sunset. You must not delay your iftar. You can have iftar, when the disk of the sun goes below the horizon and disappears completely.

Eating Or Drinking

If you eat or drink accidentally or due to forgetfulness, it will not nullify your fast and you can continue fasting. However, intentional eating or drinking for any reason makes your fast invalid.

Vomiting

If you vomit during fasting(due to urge of fasting) and if it is not intentional, then you can continue your fast. However, intentional vomiting due to any reason will make your fast invalid.

Taking A Shower

It is permissible to take a bath, for any reason. If you feel more hot due to high temperature or feel more thirsty, you can take a bath.

Sexual Intercourse

If someone has sexual intercourse while fasting, then he must perform continuous fasting for sixty days. If he is not able to do so then he must feed sixty poor people. This is a kaffarah.

Menstrual Or Childbirth Bleeding

If you are fasting and your menstrual cycle starts then your fast becomes invalid and you have to discontinue your fasting during all days of bleeding. Even if bleeding starts just before iftaar (sunset), the fast for that day is invalid. You can make up for that day of fasting later.

Tasting Food With The Tongue

While making food for you family, you can taste it. However, it should not be ingested. Your intension should only be for tasting purposes- to check the salt and other spices. You should immediately wash your mouth after that.

Kissing And Embracing Your Spouse
