Ramadhaan & Fasting

Not fasting due to an Ulcer

Q: I have an ulcer and what happens is that if I do not eat than I get sever pains which is really bad times. The doctor advised me to eat quite often and not let my tummy go empty. I find it hard to disobey the command of Allah Ta'ala and I love fasting so much! Can I just carry on fasting?

Masturbation whilst Fasting

Q: 

  1. Does masturbation nullify the fast?

  2. If it does nullify the fast, does this person have to stay without eating and drinking for the rest of the day?

  3. When he takes ghusl, will he just rinse his mouth and nose or will he gargle his mouth properly and put water properly in his nose?
