The prophet (s.a.w.) provided the believers guidance related to eating and drinking in Ramadan and when fasting. Here are some of his sayings and traditions related to these issues.

1. “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to break his fast with fresh dates before praying; if fresh dates were not available, he would eat (dried) dates; if dried dates were not available, he would have a few sips of water.” [Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 3/79 and others. He said it is a ghareeb hasan hadeeth. Classed as saheeh in al-Irwaa´, no. 922.


2. At the time of breaking the fast, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say:

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ، وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Thahabadh-dhama'u wabtallatil-'urooqu, wa thabatal-'ajru 'inshaa'Allaah.

The thirst is gone, the veins are moistened and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.

Reference: Abu Dawud 2/306

3. And the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“The people will remain in good so long as they hasten to break the fast (at it’s appointed time)” [Agreed upon by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim];

4. Taking suhoor (morning breakfast) is very much recommended by the prophet. The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“Take the sahoor (pre-dawn meal), for indeed in the sahoor there is blessing” [Reported by al-Bukhaari, Fat’h, 4/139.]

“Suhoor is blessed food, and it involves being different from the people of the Book. A good suhoor for the believer is dates.” [Reported by Abu Dawood, no. 2345; Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1/448.]

5. During the fasting season, we should also be wary not to overeat and fill stomachs. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“Man fills no vessel worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to have a few mouthfuls to give him the strength he needs. If he has to fill his stomach, then let him leave one-third for food, one-third for drink and one-third for air.” (Reported by al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah. Saheeh al-Jaami’, 5674).


6. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to a man who burped in his presence: “Stop your burping, for the people who eat the most in this life will be the most hungry on the Day of Resurrection.” (Reported by al-Haakim. Saheeh al-Jaami’, 1190).

7. It is also important to perform Niyyah, which is to make intention (in one’s heart). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“There is no fast for the person who did not intend to fast from the night before.” [Reported by Abu Dawood, no. 2454. A number of the scholars, such as al-Bukhaari, al-Nasaa`i, al-Tirmidhi and others thought it was likely to be mawqoof. See Talkhees al-Habeer, 2/188.]

“The intention may be made at any point during the night, even if it is just a moment before Fajr. Niyyah means the resolution in the heart to do something; speaking it aloud is bid‘ah (a reprehensible innovation), and anyone who knows that tomorrow is one of the days of Ramadan and wants to fast has [due to that knowledge, already] made the intention. [Sheikh Munajjid]

Alahu akbar

Good to know.... May the Almighty Allah accept our Dua' as an act of Ibadan.. Amin

Wow. So educating. Thanks brother, may Allah admit us all into His mercy

If there is intent to fast the next day but woke up late around 6am for sahur, is it permissible to continue the fast even without having sahur?

Yes. If you break the fast, you have to do 60 + 1 after Ramadan as expiation.

MrHowto:


Yes. If you break the fast, you have to do 60 + 1 after Ramadan as expiation.

Expiation with 60fasts is only applicable for those that have sexual intercourse. So, if one misses fast as a result of negligence, he only committed sin but he will pay back only the missed fast. This is what scholars of knowledge said

No. There is no way you can miss the fast as a result of negligence. What type of negligence? Missing sahur is never an excuse not to fast.

The only negligence acceptable is on the first day of Ramadan, u slept without knowing whether the moon has been sighted or not and then only to wake up in the morning and pple are already fasting.

Make no mistake, if you eat food during the day just because you missed sahur then you have brake that fast and 61 awaits u.

Brothers and sisters in Islam, with due respect I wish to ask for ur financial assistance to enable me and my family carry out this Ramadan

Nothing is too small Insha Allah

Dear Bro, that is not the Right answer to the Question, LukGaf has given the right answer. Before i used to believe in the answer you stated, but until recently when i heard the right Injunction from a notable scholar.

Stop talking ignorantly my dear brother

Lukgaf:


Stop talking ignorantly my dear brother

You're the one talking ignorantly not me.

Answer this question so I can clearly see where you guys are heading to.

"I have the intention to fast tomorrow then I over slept without doing sahur, then in the morning I can eat and drink because I failed to do Sahur." Then you guys no nothing about Islam.

I am fasting and so will not argue with you sir. But you can ask

bencolevic:

If you miss sahur can you decide not to fast on that day?
