Fasting

Making fardh ghusal after sehri

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2021-02-27 06:37

Q: As the month of Ramadhaan approaches, I would like to ask the following:

1. If a person goes to sleep and upon waking up for sehri, he notices he is in need for a compulsory ghusal due to a dream he had. Can that person eat sehri, START HIS FAST and thereafter have a ghusal before fajr?

2. Or should he have a ghusal before sehri? (What if there is a fear of missing sehri?)

3. If a person does have a ghusal AFTER sehri before fajr, ONCE HE STARTED HIS FAST, will his fast be accepted/valid?

Qadha for fasts that were broken due to masturbating

Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2020-09-28 07:39

Q:  

1. Prior to 1 year earlier, I did not know that masturbation breaks the fast and I used to do it in the state of fasting. Do I still have to make qada even if I did not know it at that time?

2. If yes, how should I calculate how many fasts I should make qada for? I am not sure how many of my fasts were broken like this. How many qadas should I make if I did not know this for 5-6 years after becoming baligh?

3. Should I make qada for all the fasts for the past 5-6 years or is there a specific number I can keep to make it alright?

4. Am I obligated to keep all the qada fasts together or can I keep them once or twice a week?

Q: Can I offer my parents missed salaahs as they both have died (may Allah bless their souls and forgive them) or should I pay fidyah for their missed salaahs and fasts so that Allah almighty may forgive them for not being regular in their salaah and fasting.

Q: Does permission need to be sought from one's parents in order to fast a sunnat/nafl/qadha fast? If the parent tells the child (baaligh) not to observe a sunnat/nafl fast due to the parents feeling the child will not manage, should the child listen to the parents or continue with the fast?

Taking a shower while in sunnat itikaaf

Submitted by user2 on Thu, 2020-06-04 08:39

Q: I would like to have some clarity regarding the issue of having a shower while in sunnat itikaaf. According to some Ulama, the only time one could have a ghusl, not a shower, is if one had a wet dream in the musjid and is forced to make ghusal.

The permissibility of allowing people to have have showers with no valid reason has started very recently over the last few years and was never heard of in the past unless compulsion of ghusal.
