📖 FIQH OF RAMADAN

📑*⃣7⃣

Those factors that neither nullify the fast nor do they render it makruh:

1) To use a miswāk.

2) To apply oil to the moustache.

3) To apply medication to the eyes.

4) Inhaling of any fragrance.

5) To have a bath due to severe heat or thirst.

6) To take any type of injection.

7) To eat or drink forgetfully.

8) When smoke, dust or any insect enters the mouth unintentionally.

9) When water enters the ears.

10) Vomiting involuntarily.

11) Experiencing a wet dream.

12) When blood comes out from the gums but does not enter the throat. This will do no harm to the fast.

13) If a person was in need of a compulsory ghusl (bath) due to intercourse or a wet dream, and was unable to have a ghusl before subh sadiq and in this condition he makes the intention, no harm would be caused to his fast.

The 3 Mustahab (preferable) acts of Fasting:

1) To partake of sehri.

2) To do so during the last portion of the night.

3) To make iftar as soon as the time sets in.
