Q:
1. I am making up the fasts that I missed in Ramadhaan. Today fajr began at 5:52am but I mistakenly assumed it was 5:56am and I can’t remember if I ingested anything intentionally/unintentionally between that time. Can I assume my fast is valid?
2. On another day whilst making up my fasts I was unwell and had a sore throat and was coughing quite harshly. In my head I thought if I vomit or if something comes out whilst coughing then I will be ok with that. Nothing came out after coughing. Is my fast spoiled because of this thought?
A:
1. If you are more or less certain that you stopped eating before the sehri time ended, then regard your fast to be valid.
2. No, your fast is valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
