7 Things Nullify Your Fasting

The things that void your fasting are seven. If you avoid them, you don’t have to worry about anything else. Because now you know that these seven nullify your fast, so anything else does not.

1- Eating and Drinking

Anything that goes into your stomach and through the mouth or through the nose, then this nullifies your fasting. Even if you swallow a stone, it nullifies your fasting.

2- Whatever Takes the Role of Food and Drink

Such as the IV, if you have galactose for example that you can live for 3-4 days without eating and drinking, just because of this IV is going into your veins, this nullifies your fasting.

This means that if I take antibiotics, voltarin shots, insulin, penicillin… anything that does not nourish me, and not take the role of eating and drinking, this doesn’t nullify your fasting.

So, if someone says: “I have to take vaccines, does it affect my fasting?”

No, it doesn’t.

“I have to extract a tooth and the doctor gives me anesthesia, does it affect my fasting?”

The answer is, no.

3- Vomiting Intentionally

I ate too much, I have something going on, I don’t like it, I put my finger or smell something and I vomit intentionally, this voids my fast.

If I ate too much and I feel disturbed and all of a sudden without me helping it, I’m vomiting. This is unintentional; it doesn’t affect my fast.

4- Cupping

This is an issue of dispute among scholars. So, the most authentic opinion it’s safer not to cup while fasting. Cupping is having scratches and slashes on the back of your neck or on your shoulders and then extracting the rotten blood.

It’s a form of healing and medication. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged it. But during fasting refrain from it because it’s an issue of dispute.

However, taking samples of your blood for the hospital is totally permissible. Bleeding from your gum while the dentist is working this does not affect your fasting; try not to swallow it.

Donating blood, if it wears you down and it’s a pint or two, in this case make it after Maghrib (after iftar time). And if you don’t have the possibility to make it after Maghrib, then do it and make up for that day.

5- Ejaculation

Any person ejaculating, while he’s awake of course, because this is different than nocturnal emission. When you have wet dreams, when you ejaculate while sleeping, this doesn’t affect your fast at all. But if you do it intentionally, while awake by looking at something or masturbating, this nullifies your fasting.

6- Intercourse

This is the highest of all. It nullifies your fasting and you have an expiation for it.

7- The Blood of Menses or Postnatal Bleeding

If these two exist, then the fast is void; even if it’s seconds before the adhan of Maghrib.

Now, if you look at toothpaste and look at these seven categories, you will find that as long as it doesn’t go into your throat you’re in the clear.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Derechos de Las Mujeres en Islam

Durante el Tiempo del Profeta (la paz sea con él) Veamos cómo fueron tratadas las mujeres de todo el mundo durante la época del Profeta (la paz sea con él). En la Europa del siglo VIII, la religión principal era el catolicismo y durante este tiempo debatían si las mujeres tenían alma. Dijeron que las mujeres eran impuras y que no tenían derecho a la herencia. A las mujeres tampoco se les permitía tocar la Biblia. No era como ahora en el Islam, donde ellas no pueden tocar el Corán durante la menstruación, pero a las mujeres en la Europa del siglo VIII nunca se les permitió tocar la Biblia. En China e India, fueron quemadas vivas cuando murieron sus maridos. En Arabia Saudita practicaron infanticidio femenino en el que, si nacía una niña, la enterrarían viva. Si el marido de una mujer muere, un miembro de su familia se unirá a ella para demostrar que ahora es de su propiedad. Mujeres en el Islam Con el Islam llegó una nueva era para las mujeres. En el Islam, las mujeres tienen la...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...
