 Salamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Welcome to Ahkam SOS, the Ramadan Special. Insha'Allah your Ramadan is going very well when you're enjoying it and you're taking and reaping the benefits and advantages of this holy month insha'Allah. Now let us kick off with myself most insha'Allah and Shaykh Ali Ma'ar. Salamu alaikum Shaykhna. Salamun alaikum warahmatullahi. Shaykhna Mashallah we've had a lot of discussions in regards to fasting and Ramadan. Let us move on to a very very important topic which is what invalidates the fast as in when we are in the position and under the status of fasting when we are fasting what are we not allowed to do that will actually make our fast barter. Insha'Allah. There are ten invalidators of fasting that makes the fast and the Qiyam barter. If the one commits one of these acts of muptalat. I'll mention the ten and then I'll go through each one by one in detail. The first muptal that invalidates the fasting is eating. The first criteria is eating. The one who eats of course that will break his fast and of course there are consequences kaffar and so forth which comes afterwards. Number two is drinking. Drinking water, drinking juice, anything else. Also that breaks and makes the fasting invalid and void. Number three is marital relationship which is also one of the muftarat. So there's physical contact between the male and the female and that takes place. The intercourse then that makes the process itself makes the one, the both parties, the Rasiyam baral. Number four is masturbation. Again this act which is by At-silh as Haram an act of sin and forbidden but also makes the fasting, barter and void. Number five is ascribing lies to Almighty Allah SWT to the Prophet SAW and to his pure family Ahlul Bayt A.S. So if somebody says something and he ascribes to the Prophet SAW as a lie then his Qiyam, his fasting will be void and barter. Number six is when allowing and letting the thick dust or even steam to reach the one's throat that also makes the fasting, barter and void. Number seven immersing one's head in the water. So the full head, the entire head if it's immersed inside the water that makes the fasting of that individual void and barter. Number eight is remaining in the state and the case of Janabah until the Fajr and Adhan time, Adhan al-Sobhah. Again deliberately you stay in this situation and you don't do the ghusul the fasting of that day will be barter. Number nine is the inima which is defined as injecting the ones with the liquid inside the lower bowel of him being. So that actually the process of such injections will make the fasting void and barter as well. Number ten is vomiting. Again if somebody with purpose vomits then his fast will be barter and void. So he has to do the Qadha of that day again. So these are the ten main invalidators and muqalat of fasting and psalm which we have to make sure that we know it and we try to avoid it during the daytime of the month of Ramadan. Now these are not allowed when the one is fasting. Of course some of them is haram like masturbation but in overall for the one to keep his fasting safe and secured he must avoid committing these ten muqalat and invalidators of the Qiyam and fasting. Let me begin with the first and the second muqalat of fasting, eating and drinking. Now with regard to the eating and drinking, if the one fasting individual eats and drinks normal food and drink. Deliberately. Deliberately of course, with purpose. He drinks water, juices and so forth or he eats for example bread or rice, meat, chicken and so forth. Deliberately then his fast will be invalidated and bought. Now with regard to eating and drinking that also covers the abnormal food and drink. You know if somebody let's say he eats soil or tree leaves for example or even wood anything. Paper. Paper for example that also invalidates the fasting and Qiyam. And likewise for the drink if somebody drinks for example petrol, even a drop let's say or perfume or anything else which is abnormal drink that also will break his fast. So the rule is anything goes inside the mouth be it a normal drink and eating or abnormal that will break his fast. Asen Sheikhna. What about I mean how much is the amount that makes the soil butter? I mean if I took a very very little amount is that sufficient to make the fast and food? Let's say I was having a shower or I was brushing my teeth and there was a little just a bit of like a drop or two drops of water in my mouth and I thought rather than spitting it out I'll just swallow it. So okay it's not a problem. Is that okay or will that make my fast invalid? Well regardless of the whether the intake of the amount is very small or very large. Let's say you eat a big sandwich of let's say cheese or chicken or anything else or just a small piece of bread or one drop of water even. If that goes inside the mouth and reaching the throat then that will make the fasting and the Siyam ba'atil and boyd and you have to do the Qaba. If deliberately then you have to do the Qafara as well. We'll come to this case inshallah later on. So important that we make sure that there's nothing goes inside our throat any food or drink even a drop even a bit that's very important. Sheikh you keep saying that if it was done deliberately which fine I can understand that but what if it was an accident? What if I forgot that I was fasting and I ate something I took a bite of an apple and I thought oh no I'm fasting and I spit it out. But I've already swallowed a couple of bites or if I'm walking and there's wind and there was a bit of dust, a bit of dust went into my mouth and I was just panicking and I accidentally swallowed it. Does that make my fasting void? Well the rule here changes any unintentional eat or drink an accidental eating or drinking will not void the fast. So even let's say if somebody comes he wakes up in the morning and he goes to his children he eats let's say breakfast. He just forgots about the fasting it's his first day of Ramadan. It happens to some people they go to the routine they start to have a cup of coffee for example toast, egg, cheese, butter and so forth. And then after they realize oh we are fasting it's the month Ramadan that would be accepted as a fasting as well. So they have to refrain from eating and drinking straight away and that would be accepted that's fine. Am I correct in thinking that until you realize that you're fasting whatever's gone past it's okay you can carry on because you didn't do it on purpose. If I'm chewing it's in my mouth and I remember that oh I'm fasting what should I do then should I spit the food out? Exactly you have to throw it straight away. You shouldn't keep anything inside when you become aware of the situation. Because if you just ignore it and you swallow it then that becomes an intentional and deliberate breaking fast which has Aba and Kafara as well. So you have to be careful. You throw it straight away. Thank you very much Sheikhna. Sheikhna a question I mean it's quite personal. Something sometimes I suffer from and I'm sure the viewers also suffer from is that in the morning when we eat Sahur sometimes we have leftovers stuck between our teeth and you know we're there fidgeting trying to remove it all just in time before the Fajr Adhan. According to Sayed Sadiq May Allah lengthen his life. Are we actually allowed to swallow this? Because sometimes it happens unintentionally in our saliva. We're just normally swallowing our saliva and then we might feel some a bit of crumbs or a bit of the leftover food. Go down our throat. Does this make our fast battle or not? Well as I've said with regard to the food and drink if they were eaten intentionally they will make and render the fasting void and battle. The same applies here. If somebody swallows a bit of food which were between his teeth for example during the day of the month from Allah and daylight on purpose intentionally that will also make us fasting battle and void. So we have to be careful that we brush our teeth maybe use the floss in the Sahar time for example. So we won't be in such situation and if unintentionally that happened then that's fine. Again as I've said if somebody eats unintentionally then they realise afterwards that's fine. So when I'm swallowing my saliva and I feel a bit of food go down. That's fine. I didn't know that was there. That's okay. That's fine unintentionally swallowing that's fine. Ascent thank you very much Sheikhna. Sheikhna another one I was talking about swallowing saliva but sometimes when we have a flu we have mucus stuck in our sinuses and stuff like that. Are we allowed to swallow that? The mucus if you've got a bad throat or some sort of blockage in our sinus. Well you have two different things. Number one the saliva that accumulates in the mouth. To swallow that that's fine. The saliva is fine which is called an Arabic rik. You can swallow that that's fine. However with regard to the mucus which comes from the head and the chest. If it reaches the area of the mouth and tongue you're not allowed to swallow it. And you have to throw it away from the mouth. And as the say it says it is mandatory as a precaution. Wajib ehtiyati that you should not swallow the mucus. You must remove it from the mouth. If it's just from let's say from the head goes inside your throat but it's not from the mouth that's fine. You know sometimes you can pull down and you know the mucus from the head towards your throat and such like. But if it reaches the area of the mouth it is where you have to avoid it and throw it away. That's the rule. Thank you very much Shaykh Nair. Thank you to all of you that have been joining us for the SOS. Insha'Allah your fast is going well. See us next time. Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
