Knowledge is divided into two types knowledge that is

Mandatory upon every individual to learn and this is known as far buying and

Knowledge that is

obligation

If I know it the rest of the community are exempted from learning it if none of us learn it

We're all sinful

so

The religion that is accepted at the side of Allah

this is a

information that we must know

Fasting Ramadan is in few days time

Am I obliged to fast? Of course? I have to know the rulings of fasting

It is not permissible for me to say. Oh, I didn't know that drinking soft drinks

nullifies your fasting

your ignorance is

unjustifiable

You live in the lands of Muslims and the information is available to you. It's an obligation upon you to know it

Zakat of

Livestock camels cows and sheep. Is it an obligatory upon?

Me to know

The portions of the cat and how to give it out in every 40 sheep

There is one sheep in every five camels. There is one sheep in every 30 to 40 cows

There is this and that is it man. They take for me to know

But this depends do you have livestock?

No, I don't even know the difference between a camel and a cow never seen one in this case. It's not an obligation upon you

You're not a Muslim if you don't know

Because it's not applied Allah will not ask on the day of judgment. How many sheep should we give zakat over a 40?

Until 120 I'm gonna ask you about this because you don't have them so

Knowing what brakes are fasting is an obligatory act upon each and every one of us because this is an obligation upon all Muslims

That is too fast. So what breaks my fast?

there are seven things that

usually

scholars mention when they talk about things that nullify fasting the greatest of them all is

intercourse

Of course with the spouse not talking about fornication adultery. I'm talking about legitimate

Relationship between a man wife

This is totally prohibited on the daytime of Ramadan

For a person who is residing and if he does or if she does that

Then first of all the day is void

But they must maintain fasting though. It's void

They have to make up for that day. They have to give expiation

each and

The expiration is to free a slave

or to fast two consecutive months or

to feed

sixty poor person not to choose of these three

but to take them gradually if you don't have a slave you have to fast consecutive months if you're sick or unable to

Continue or complete these two consecutive months

Then you have to feed 60 per person if I'm totally broke and I cannot feed any person

There's nothing for you to do

So this is number one

number two

What takes the ruling of intercourse?

What is that? It's known as masturbation

Intentionally ejaculating

now having said that

One would say what about

nocturnal emission known as wet dreams

Wet dreams are not within your control when you're sleep

You don't have the option or the choice whether to do this or to do that. It happens

So it has no impact on your fasting

but to purposely ejaculate whether by

Masturbating by watching something that provokes you to ejaculate

intentionally in this case this

nullifies your fasting

Do I have to pay the expiration of freeing a slave?

but it's a sinful thing and

This was mentioned in surah till marriage

Allah when he praised the righteous people

By saying that they preserve their own chastity

they

Do not

abuse their private parts in

illicit and illegal sexual intercourse and

Then Allah says except

Having this with their spouses and their right hand possession and whoever transgresses

and

Has this desire fulfilled other than that the spouses in the right hand possession then there are transgressors

So it's sinful its transgression it breaks the fasting as the majority of scholars

Stated so the third thing

after

intercourse

Ejaculation is eating and drinking but before we go into the issue of

Eating and drinking I might have to be a little bit French so people would understand that

what is meant by intercourse is the actual penetration and I will not explain more than that, but

Ejaculation is not

Intercourse, so if a man has intimacy with his wife without

penetration and

He or she ejaculate

this does not fall under the

category of intercourse this falls under the category of masturbation if

Penetration takes place without ejaculating this is intercourse, so they have to be careful

to know the difference between the two

thirdly

eating and drinking

So anything that a person consumes?

That goes into his stomach

Would invalidate his fasting if he does this intentionally and if he does this

Remembering and knowing the ruling of it even if he swallows a

Pill or he swallows a stone

This would invalidate his fasting

Fourthly

what takes the ruling of eating and drinking and we spoke earlier about this and

This refers to anything that is nourishing your body

such as glucose in the IV that people take and

They can live on that

For a number of days

Fifthly

Intentional vomiting

and why do we say intentional vomiting because the Prophet said

Who?

ever is

overwhelmed and

vomits unintentionally his fasting is intact, but who ever intentionally and

Deliberately vomits, then he has broken his fast. So for example, someone fills up his stomach and

all of a sudden

without him

Intending it he has to throw out he goes and rushes to the toilet. He throws out

His fast is intact someone who is feeling uneasy

He ate too much and he doesn't feel good

He inserts his finger in his throat and he throws up. His fasting is

Invalid because he did that intentionally whether by inserting his finger by smelling something

Repulsive that makes him throw up

the same ruling so these this is the fifth and

the sixth

thing that nullify is fasting is

also unintentional which is

menstruation and postnatal bleeding

This is something that happens to women and it's not by their choice

It's something that a larger they'll decreed upon them. Once it happens. The fast is void and they cannot fast and

finally an issue of dispute

Which is cupping in Arabic known

This is done by

Slashing the bottom of the neck or the back and

Sucking out

rotten blood and

this is a Prophetic means of healing it is perfect for high blood pressure and

for migraines those who suffer from migraines

once they do this

They are relieved for like five six months from their migraines and the Prophet

Instructed us to do this

The scholars differ whether this breaks fasting or not

I'm inclined that it does not break

Your fasting or affected but we mention it because a great number of scholars say it does

But if a person has to do the random check of diabetes

or

He has to take a sample of blood for lab tests

Does this fall under answer's? No, there is no problem in doing that

What about blood donation?

well, if you're gonna give a pint or two of blood this takes the same ruling as  because it

Would make you feel weak and weary to those who say

breaks your fasting those who say it doesn't as long as you're still fit and able to

Be active and to function well, then this has no impact
