Praise be to Allaah.
It is not permissible for one who is accountable to break his fast in Ramadaan because of exams, because that is not one of the excuses that are allowed in sharee’ah. Rather he has to fast, and do his studying and revision at night if it is too hard for him to do that during the day.

Those who are in charge of exams should be kind to the students and not make the exams in Ramadaan, thus serving two interests, the interests of the fast and to help the students prepare for the exams. It was narrated in a saheeh report from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “O Allaah, whoever is put in charge of any of the affairs of my ummah and is kind to them, show kindness towards him, and whoever is put in charge of any of the affairs of my ummah and is harsh towards them, show harshness towards him.” (Narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh).

So advice to those who are in charge of exams is to be kind to the students and not to have exams in Ramadaan, but to have them before or after. We ask Allaah to give us all strength.

No worker in Nigeria except politicians can boost to pay his debts at the month end. There is God ooo. In many developing countries, they have constant pay day.

Olufemi Atoyebi, Ibadan

Workers at the six tertiary institutions that belong to Oyo State have issued a 21-day ultimatum to the state government over the non-payment of their full salaries and poor funding of the institution, in spite of the agreement reached between both parties on January 31, 2018.

Workers at The Polytechnic, Ibadan; Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, Oyo; Oyo State College of Agriculture and Technology, Igboora; The Ibarapa Polytechnic, Eruwa; The Oke-Ogun Polytechnic, Saki; and College of Education, Lanlate went on strike for several months over the non-payment of their salary arrears and reduction of government subvention to the schools to 25 per cent. The institutions resumed academic activities after reaching an agreement with the government in January.

A communiqué released by workers’ unions in the institutions after a meeting of the Joint Action Committee said the workers would resume their suspended strike unless all salary arrears were fully paid.

The communiqué, which was signed by leaders of the unions in all the schools, also said the ultimatum began on May 25, 2018. According to the leaders of the union, the meeting was conveyed to review the situation in the institutions four months after the agreement was signed.

The communiqué read, “Despite the position of government that the governing councils were constituted to resolve the issue of factional salary payment and the payment of salary arrears of between eight and 24 months, the issues remain the same. Not all the institutions have paid full salaries to their staff till date. No council has come up with a template for the payment of the accrued salary arrears.

“The issue of poor funding of the schools by the government has compounded problems in the institutions. The meeting finally resolved to give government 21 working days ultimatum to pay all accrued arrears failing which all staff of the institutions will resume their suspended strike until these arrears of eight to 24 months are fully paid.”

Asalam Alaekum WaramotuLah Wabarakatuh,

This is to remind my beloved brethren that Tarawiyy (The nawafeel observed after Ishai known as Aasamu) continues tonight, 11th of Ramadan 1439AH. Don't because of 90 minutes enjoyment loose the huge reward from our creator. Remember, only Allah knows our last moment, if peradventure death meet you inside the DSTV room watching UEFA Final at the expense of Tarowiyy, what will you tell your creator? Thank God, you can still rewatch the whole game after Tarrowiyy if you still wish to watch. Since we don't know the last Ramadan we will witness in our life. Let's make use of the current one judiciously. Brethren, let us try and go to mosque. May Allah be with us and grant us benefitting understanding.

Stop saying what you have not knowledge of?

BluntTheApostle:
It says "musical instruments" not "music"

There are A cappella songs out there.

But in my view as a non-Muslim, I think musical instruments used for the purpose of glorifying Allah should be permissible. Hadiths are not very reliable.

Kyutepanda, I hope you are having a generous Ramadan?

Furnish us with evidence which says it is not Haram sir?

IgbosAreOsus:
Just tell why?
And what kind of musics
I think it depends on the type of music.
There is even a permissible type of drum (bandiri) so you can't say it's haraam.


Allaah knows best.

Praise be to Allaah.

If a person intends to break the fast when he is fasting, whether he is certain about that or is hesitant, then he does not find anything with which to break his fast and he changes his mind again, he has broken his fast and he has to make up that day. This is the view of the Maalikis and Hanbalis, but not the Hanafis and Shaafa’is. See: Badaa’i’ al-Sanaa’i’ (2/92); Haashiyat al-Dasooqi (1/528); al-Majmoo’ (6/313); Kashshaaf al-Qinaa’ (2/316).

The view that he invalidates his fast is the more correct view, as we shall see below. So if he intends to break his fast and is certain and not hesitant, then he cannot find anything with which to break his fast, so he changes his mind, he has still broken his fast, and he has to make up that day.

But if he is hesitant about breaking the fast, or he makes that conditional upon something, such as if he finds food or drink he will break his fast, then he does not find anything, then in that case his fast is still valid.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: A man was travelling and fasting in Ramadaan, and he intended to break his fast but then he did not find anything with which to break his fast, then he changed his mind and completed the fast until Maghrib. Is his fast valid?

He replied: His fast is not valid and he has to make it up, because when he intended to break the fast, he broke his fast. But if he had said ‘If I find water I will drink, otherwise I will carry on fasting,’ and he did not find any water, then his fast is valid, because his intention was not definite, rather breaking the fast was conditional upon finding something, but he did not find that thing, so his initial intention remained in effect.

Someone may ask: How can we answer the one who says that none of the scholars said that the intention to break the fast is one of the things that break the fast? He replied: we say to the one who says that: He is not familiar with the books of the scholars – the books of the scholars of fiqh and specialties. For example, in Zaad al-Mustaqni’ it says: The one who intends to break the fast has broken the fast. And I warn you, my brothers, against those who are not well versed in knowledge; I warn you against them if they say that they do not know of anyone who said that, or that no one said that. They may be telling the truth, because they do not know the books of the scholars and they have not studied them, and they do not know anything about them. Moreover, even if we assume that this is not to be found in the books of the scholars, didn’t the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Actions are but by intentions”? Yes indeed, he did say that, so if he said “Actions are but by intentions” and this man intended to break his fast, has he broken his fast? Yes, he has broken his fast. End quote from Liqaa’aat al-Baab il-Maftooh (29/20).

And Allaah knows best.

Praise be to Allaah.

Listening to music is haraam, whether in Ramadaan or at other times, but it is more forbidden in Ramadaan, and is a greater sin, because fasting does not only mean refraining from eating and drinking, rather it means attaining piety or fear of Allaah, and it means that all the physical faculties should refrain from disobeying Allaah.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Observing As-Sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)”

[al-Baqarah 2:183]

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Fasting does not just mean (abstaining) from eating and drinking, rather fasting means (abstaining) from idle and obscene talk…”

Narrated by al-Haakim who said: This hadeeth is saheeh according to the conditions of Muslim.

See also question no. 37989

The saheeh Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) clearly indicates that listening to musical instruments is haraam.

Al-Bukhaari narrated in a mu’allaq report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There will be among my ummah people who regard adultery, silk, pork and musical instruments as permissible…” Al-Tabaraani and al-Bayhaqi said that this was a mawsool report.

This hadeeth indicates that musical instruments are haraam in two ways:

1 – The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “[they] will regard… as permissible.” This clearly indicates that the things mentioned are haraam, but those people will regard them as permissible.

2 – Musical instruments are mentioned in conjunction with things that are definitely haraam, namely adultery (zina) and alcohol. If it were not haraam it would not have been mentioned alongside them.

See al-Silsilah al-Saheehah by al-Albaani , hadeeth no. 91.

The believer should make the most of this blessed month and turn to his Lord. He should repent to Allaah and give up haraam things that he was in the habit of doing before Ramadaan, so that Allaah might accept his fast and set his affairs straight.

And Allaah knows best.

Praise be to Allaah.

It was narrated that Zayd ibn Khaalid al-Juhani said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever gives iftaar to one who is fasting will have a reward like his, without that detracting from the reward of the fasting person in the slightest.”

Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 807; Ibn Maajah, 1746. Classed as saheeh by Ibn Hibaan, 8/216 and by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami, 6415.


Shaykh al-Islam [Ibn Taymiyah] said: What is meant by giving him iftaar is giving him enough to satisfy him. Al-Ikhtiyaaraat, p. 194

The righteous salaf were keen to provide food for others and they thought that this was one of the best of righteous deeds.

One of the salaf said: For me to invite ten of my companions and feed them food that they like is dearer to me than freeing ten of the sons of Ismaa’eel from slavery.

Many of the salaf used to give up their iftaar for others, such as ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him), Dawood al-Taa’i, Maalik ibn Dinar and Ahmad ibn Hanbal. Ibn ‘Umar used only to break his fast with orphans and the poor and needy.

There were among the salaf those who used to offer food to their brothers whilst fasting, and they would sit and serve them, such as al-Hasan and Ibn al-Mubaarak.

Abu al-Siwaar al-‘Adawi said: Men from the tribe of Banu ‘Adiyy used to pray in this mosque and not one of them would break his fast on his own; if they found someone to join them they would eat with him, otherwise they would take their food out to the mosque and eat with the people, and the people would eat with them.

From the ‘ibaadah of providing food for people stem many other acts of worship such as creating love and friendship towards those who are given the food, which is a means of entering Paradise, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “You will not enter Paradise until you truly believe, and you will not truly believe until you love one another.” Narrated by Muslim, 54. It also fosters the practice of sitting with righteous people and seeking reward by helping them to do acts of worship for which they gain strength by eating your food.

Ramadan: More Worshippers… Don’t Discourage Them!

Alhamdulillaah wasalaatu wasalaam

Among the distinct features of the month of Ramadan is that our souls will be easily inclined to worship, hence, more believers attend congregational prayers compared to the number before Ramadan – Alhamdulillah! This is an opportunity to encourage people to continue such practices after Ramadan especially those that don’t observe Salat before. The saying “We see you today, waiting happen?” or such a statement is not the Sunnah of my Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasalam.

‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud radiyallahu ‘anih narrated that the Messenger of Allah salallahu ‘alayhi wasalam said: “Those who go to extremes are doomed.” He said it three times. Muslim 2670. The meaning of this hadith include exaggerated and affected speech trying to attract people’s attention, with no meaning or benefit. Hence, overburdening and being too strict in matters where strictness is inappropriate is not Islamic. And those who go to extremes in speech are those who speak in an affected manner – An Nihaayah 5/164. Don’t affect worshipers or repentant with your manner.

May Allah grant us understanding.

MrHowto:
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

MrHowto:
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.

Stop talking ignorantly my dear brother

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

ibrutex:
What about.....



اللهم لك ثمت وبك امنت وعلى رزقك افطرط

The hadith that brought it is not sound.

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

Refer to https://www.nairaland.com/4510539/ramadan-18-supplication-when-breaking


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]

RAMADAN 2018 SERIES
1ST Ramadan 1439

Praise be to Allah

Fasting is one of the pillars of Islam, as is well known.

Therefore it is not permissible for the Muslim to be heedless about it just because he feels thirsty or hungry, or just because he is afraid that he cannot fast. Rather he must be patient and seek the help of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. There is nothing wrong with him pouring water on his head to cool down, or rinsing out his mouth.

He must begin his day fasting, and if it so happens that he is not able to complete it, and he fears that he may die or become sick, it is permissible for him to break the fast in that case. But he should not break the fast on the basis of a mere assumption; rather he should not break the fast unless he experiences hardship.

Ibn Qudaamah said:

The correct view is that if he fears for himself due to extreme thirst or hunger and the like, then he may break the fast.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said in his commentary on al-Kaafi:

“If he fears thirst” does not refer to mere ordinary thirst; rather it refers to the kind of thirst in which there is the fear of dying, or there is the fear of suffering harm.

End quote from Ta‘leeqaat Ibn ‘Uthaymeen ‘ala al-Kaafi (3/124).

An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Majmoo‘ (6/258): Our companions and others said: Whoever is overcome by hunger and thirst, and fears that he may die, must break the fast, even if he is in good health and is not travelling, because Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And do not kill (or destroy) from yourselves: Surely, to you Allah has been Most Merciful (Raheem)”

[an-Nisa’ 4:29]

“and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction”

[al-Baqarah 2:195].

And he must make up that day, as is required of one who is sick. And Allah knows best. End quote.

So you must make up that day, and if you were too hasty and broke the fast before experiencing the level of hardship that makes it permissible to break the fast, then you must also repent from what you did, and not do that again.

And Allah knows best.

To be continue tomorrow, In shaa Allah... Asalam Alaekum

and is this a scholarship?

The fact they are Arab doesn't mean they can't make Mistake. Our prophet asked us to look for crescent before we start or stop fasting. No calendar is allowed even if it is printed by Imam of Kaaba

41lady:
Why is it that only in Nigeria they use moon sight to start fasting, here in Malaysia and middle east is based on calendar. It has been know that fasting is starting today 17th May, 2018 since beginning of the year. Is it illiteracy or what?

The new Ramadan Crescent has been sighted in various cities. Tomorrow, Thursday is the first of Ramadan -Nigeria Supreme Councils for Islamic Affairs Facebook page.

May Allah make it easy for us and spare our lives beyond the great month

As salaam alaykum,


THE SULTAN OF SOKOTO In person of Dr Sa'ad Abubakar III has just announced the sighting of the moon and to this effect it has been declared that tomorrow Thursday, 17th of May 2018 corresponds to the 1st Ramadan 1439 A.H.

He stated this during a broadcast on Garkuuwa which was simultaneously broadcasted too on Riwa Radio station.

Accept my congratulatory greeting.
