Random Ramadan fiqh notes:
1. Sickness that prevents you from fasting is in degrees:
A. That which is impossible to fast with because it could lead to death or serious damage , you must COMPULSORILY break your fast and pay back later.
فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِیضًا أَوۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرࣲ فَعِدَّةࣱ مِّنۡ أَیَّامٍ أُخَرَۚ
"Whosoever amongst you is sick or on a journey, let him make up for it some other days"
B. That which is impossible to fast with because it could lead to death pr serious damage but this sickness or illness is INCURABLE. This individual does not fast , he or she gives fidayh i.e. feeds a POOR person in lieu of the days of missed fasting.
وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِینَ یُطِیقُونَهُۥ فِدۡیَةࣱ طَعَامُ مِسۡكِینࣲۖ
C. That which would cause great discomfort , pain or delay healing, it is encouraged to break the fast.
D. The very old, such that fasting becomes a difficulty should also do fidyah.
2. The view that the pregnant woman and the breastfeeding woman do the fidyah and do not need to pay back their missed days of fasting if they have legit fear for themselves or their fetus/baby is a minority view expressed by Ibn Abbas and Ibn Umar. It had gained popularity particularly amongst Shaykh Albani leaning Salafis. This is also the view I find more convincing for now.
A. Note that a woman having lochia ( bleeding as a result of childbirth or miscarriage) doesn't do fidyah even if she's breastfeeding. This is because lochia, as well as menses, are restrictions to the obligation of fasting. She has to pay back the missed days of fasting.
B. If you've missed 10 years of fasting, having knowledge of the obligation, you have to pay them back. You may do so gradually. May Allah make it easy for you.
3. If you're doing fidyah and it's difficult to find POOR people to feed, reach out to some of our sisters who feed the poor in Ramadan. Those doing this should also know that fidyah is solely meant for the poor. It is not a communal iftar or iftar dinner or whatever you call it.
4. You are allowed to use menses preventing drugs so as to complete the entire days of Ramadan , IF AND ONLY IF , your doctor says it's ok for you.
May this not be our last Ramadan.

Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's Apostle said, The example of a miser and a generous person is like that of two persons wearing iron cloaks from the breast upto the neck When the generous person spends, the iron cloak enlarges and spread over his skin so much so that it covers his fingertips and obliterates his tracks.
As for the miser, as soon as he thinks of spending every ring of the iron cloak sticks to its place (against his body) and he tries to expand it, but it does not expand. The Prophet pointed with his hand towards his throat.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 63, Number 219i.

Three Men Trapped in a Cave
Three Men Trapped in a Cave‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Umar reported that the Messenger (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
Three men of a people before you, were on a journey when they were overtaken by a storm and therefore they took shelter in a cave. A rock slipped down from the mountain and blocked the exit from cave.
One of them said:
"The only way for deliverance left is to beseech Allah in the name of some virtuous deed."
Thereupon one of them supplicated,
"O Lord, my parents were very old, and I used to offer them their nightly drink of milk before my children and the other members of the family. One day I went astray far away in search of green trees and could return only after my parent had gone to sleep. When I had milked the animals and brought their nightly drink to them. They were fast asleep, but I did not like to disturb them, nor would give any part of the milk to my children and other members of the family till after my parents had their drink. Thus, with the vessel in hand, I awaited their awakening till the flush of dawn, while the children cried out of hunger at my feet. When they woke up, they had their drink. O Lord, if I did this thing seeking only your pleasure, then do relieve us of the distress wrought upon us by this rock."
Thereupon, the rock moved a little but not enough to let them pass out.
Then the second man supplicated:
"O Lord, I had a cousin that I loved more passionately than any man could love a woman. I tried to seduce her but she would refuse, till in a season of great hardship due to famine, she approached me (for help) and I gave her one hundred and twenty Dinars on the condition that she would have sexual intercourse with me. She agreed, and when we got together and I was just going to have intercourse with her, she pleaded, 'Fear Allah, and do not break the seal unlawfully', whereupon I moved away from her, despite the fact that I desired her most passionately; and I let her keep the money I had given her. O Lord, if I did this thing seeking only your pleasure, then do move the distress in which we find ourselves."
Again the rock moved a little but not enough to let them pass out.
Then the third supplicated:
"O Lord, I hired some labourers and paid them their dues, but one of them left leaving behind what was due to him. I invested it in business and the business prospered greatly.
After a while, the labourer came back and said: 'O servant of Allah, hand over to me my wages.' I said to him: 'All that you see is yours; camels, cattle, goats and slaves." He said: 'Don't play joke with me, O servant of Allah.' I assured him: 'I am not joking.' So he took all of it sparing nothing. O Lord, if I did this seeking only for your pleasure, do relieve us of our distress."
The rock then moved away, and all the three came out of the cave safe and sound.

A man was sitting beside his friend, dividing his salary, and he said:
“300 for school.
200 for groceries.
200 for Mom.

His friend paused and said,
“Wait a minute. Didn’t you tell me your parents passed away years ago?”
The man smiled and replied:
They may have left this world, but their right over us never ended.

On the Day of Judgement, a person may come with good deeds as huge as mountains, yet they will find that their tongue has destroyed them.
Another person may come with sins as great as mountains, yet they will find that their tongue has erased them through abundant remembrance of Allah.
That is why wise believers keep their tongues moist with the remembrance of Allah, day and night, through the recitation of the Quran, the morning and evening adhkar, the adhkar after the prayers, and the adhkar of the night.

Sadly we are witnessing the deterioration and loss of brotherhood within our community. The love and genuine concern is lost for each other is decreasing. Instead of excuses we are keen on finding and pointing faults.
Today, I wanted to remind you to forgive, to guide in private and with hikmah, and before being too keen on correcting others correct yourself and repent to Allah for your own mistakes.
A man set out to visit his brother from another town, so Allah sent an angel to watch over his steps. When the angel came to him, he said: Where are you going? The man said: I am visiting a brother of mine in this town. The angel said: Do you have a favor over him to be repaid? He said: No, only that I love him for the sake of Allah Almighty. The angel said: I am a messenger from Allah to tell you that Allah loves you as you love him.
- Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2567]
None of you has faith until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.
- Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
[Sahih Bukhari]
The believers are only brothers, so reconcile between your brothers, and fear Allah that you may receive mercy.
{Surat al-Hujurat 49: Verse 10}
An-Nawawi comments on this tradition, saying:
الأولى أن يحمل ذلك على عموم الأخوة حتى يشمل الكافر والمسلم فيحب لأخيه الكافر ما يحب لنفسه من دخوله في الإسلام كما يحب لأخيه المسلم دوامه على الإسلام ولهذا كان الدعاء بالهداية للكافر مستحبا والمراد بالمحبة إرادة الخير والمنفعة ثم المراد المحبة الدينية لا المحبة البشرية
This is interpreted as brotherhood in general, such that it includes the disbeliever and the Muslim. So he should love for his brother, the disbeliever, what he loves for himself which is his entering Islam, just as he should love for his brother Muslim that he remains in Islam. For this reason, it is recommended to supplicate for the disbeliever to be guided. The meaning of love here is an intention for good and benefit, and this meaning is religious love, not human love.

May Allah unite our hearts and our communities for His sake and forgive our transgressions and shortcomings - Allahumma ameen!

Safeguard Your Tongue
Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-ʿAlaihi Wa Sallam said:
إذا أصبح ابن آدم فإن الأعضاء كلها تكفر اللسان فتقول : اتق الله فينا فإنما نحن بك : فإن استقمت استقمنا وإن اعوججت اعوججنا
“When son of Ādam wakes up in the morning, all of his limbs humble themselves to the tongue and say:
‘Fear Allāh regarding us for we are only as you are; so if you are upright; we will be upright, and if you are crooked; we will be crooked’.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF PAYING ANY OUTSTANDING DEBT WHICH WAS STILL BINDING UPON THE DECEASED
Debt is a responsibility burden that should be settled by the debtor. Every Muslim should have the determination to settle his debt. This determination should be accompanied with efforts to settle the debt. In a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him), the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever takes the money of the people with the intention of repaying it, ALLĀH will repay it on his behalf, and whoever takes it in order to spoil it, then ALLĀH will spoil him." {al-Bukhārī #2387}.
If a person who has a debt dies, then it is obligatory for the debt to be settled using the property that deceased person left. Foremost of that which benefits the deceased is the payment of any outstanding debt which the deceased still owed, since the deceased is held accountable for any debt until it is repaid, and the seriousness of dying in a state of debt is not to be taken lightly, in this regard there are many authentic aḥādīth.
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) who said that the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said: "The soul of the believer remains suspended because of his debt, until it is settled on his behalf." {Ahmad #9679}
As-Suyooti said regarding the meaning of this: “It is detained and kept back from reaching its noble destination.” {Tuhfatul Ahwadhee, 4/193}
On the authority of Muhammad bin Jahsh (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) who said that the Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said: "By the one in Whose Hand is my soul, if a man were killed in battle for the sake of ALLĀH, then brought back to life, then killed and brought back to life, then killed, whilst he owed a debt, he would not enter Paradise until his debt was settled on his behalf." {Ahmad #22493}
Al-Hāfiz Ibn Hajar (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: This hadīth indicates how difficult the issue of debt is, and that it should not be undertaken except in cases of necessity. {Fath al-Bari, 4/547}
The payment of the debt should be settled first using the money left by the deceased before it is divided to the heirs. If the inheritance left is insufficient to settle the debt of the deceased, it is not obligatory for the heirs to pay off the debt. However, if the heirs decide to help settle the debt, then it is included as goodness towards the deceased. Surely, it is a good deed towards the deceased and the best for the heirs.
Shaikh ‘Abdul-‘Azīz bin Bāz (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: “If he (the deceased) had any debts; then it is obligatory to hasten in settling them from his wealth if he had any wealth, and if he did not have any wealth then it is legislated for his heirs from his offspring and relatives that they make payment of it on his behalf, since payment on his behalf is from the greatest of charities upon him.” {Fatāwa Noor ‘alaa ad-Darb, 2/1153}
Shaikh Zaid bin Hādi al-Madkhali (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said: "It is not conditional that the one who undertakes the repayment of debt should only be a heir of the deceased, rather it is correct that the heir can repay it and it is correct that someone other than the heir from the Muslims can repay it, all of that is productive and beneficial." {Afnān an-Nadiyyah 2/502}

Types of People in Ramadan”
A believing servant must welcome the month of Ramadan in the best way. Yet people differ greatly in how they receive this blessed month.
🍃 One group welcomes Ramadan by focusing heavily on markets. They buy many kinds of food, dishes, and sweets. They treat Ramadan as a month of eating instead of worship. In many homes, spending on food rises far beyond normal needs. People waste a lot. They place many dishes on the table, but only a small portion gets eaten.
🍁 Another group prepares for Ramadan by arranging games, entertainment, and distractions. They set up activities that waste their valuable time. Some of these activities even cause harm. They complete these preparations before Ramadan begins.
🍂 There are also people upon whom Allah bestows special favor. They prepare for Ramadan spiritually. Good thoughts fill their hearts. They fix a time for the Quran. They make time for remembrance of Allah. They stand in night prayer. They plan to help the needy. They set aside time to spend in the path of Allah and attend gatherings of knowledge. Many paths of good stand open before them.
For some people, the month of Ramadan feels short. They have many intentions for worship and good deeds. They want to stay active in different acts of obedience. Yet they feel that time is limited.
Another type treats Ramadan like any other month. It passes over them just like the rest of the year. Even the night which the Quran describes as better than a thousand months passes like an ordinary night for many people. This is a great loss and a clear deprivation. Wasting such a precious blessing does not suit a Muslim.
So a Muslim should welcome this month in the best way. He should value it. He should prepare himself so that he truly becomes among the people of Ramadan.

On the authority of ʿAa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:
Hamzah ibn ʿAmr al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the Prophet ﷺ:
“Am I to fast while traveling?”
And he was a man who fasted a lot.
So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“If you wish, then fast, and if you wish, then break your fast.”

ʿAa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Hamzah ibn ʿAmr al-Aslami, who was known for fasting frequently, asked the Prophet ﷺ about fasting while traveling. The Prophet ﷺ clarified that fasting during travel is a matter of choice, and that Allah has granted a concession to the traveler. A person may either fast or break the fast, depending on what is easier for them, and there is no sin in choosing either option.
𝘽𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙩𝙨
✨ This hadith establishes that fasting while traveling is permissible, and that breaking the fast is a legislated concession from Allah. It shows that Islam is built upon ease and mercy, and that rulings take into account a person’s ability and condition. The hadith also clarifies that accepting Allah’s concession is not blameworthy, nor is fasting for the one who is able without hardship.

A person may either fast or break the fast, depending on what is easier for them, and there is no sin in choosing either option.

✨ This hadith establishes that fasting while traveling is permissible, and that breaking the fast is a legislated concession from Allah. It shows that Islam is built upon ease and mercy, and that rulings take into account a person’s ability and condition. The hadith also clarifies that accepting Allah’s concession is not blameworthy, nor is fasting for the one who is able without hardship.

You’re stressed about marriage.
About your career.
About your rizq.
You keep asking:
“What if I don’t make it?”
“What if I fail?”
“What if I’m left behind?”
But when was the last time you asked:
“What if I meet Allah tonight?”
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Remember often the destroyer of pleasures — death.” (Tirmidhi 2307)
Because death does what advice can’t.
It crushes your ego.
It ends your excuses.
It reminds you your plans mean nothing if your soul isn’t ready.
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ
“Every soul shall taste death.” (3:185)
You’re securing your dunya.
But what have you secured for your akhirah?
You’re not promised another salah.
Not another Ramadan.
Not even another breath.
“Later” is Shaytan’s biggest lie.
If you woke up in your grave tonight, would you be ready?
This isn’t to scare you.
It’s to wake you up.
Allah still wants you to return.
So… will you?
About your career.
About your rizq.

As many of us are excited this Ramadaan let's remember some of us are sad and heavy hearted this Ramadaan.
Some of us have lost family members who will not be with us this Ramadaan
Some of us have gone through divorce and are struggling as single mums with young children to look after and fasting all alone
Some of us have lost a husband (or a husband has lost his wife) and is struggling to cope
Some sisters have suffered a miscarriage or stillborn or some parents have lost a child whom they will dearly this Ramadaan
Some of us are living in non Muslim countries and have no immediate family
Some of us have health issues and cannot fast this year
Some of us are going through mental illness such as depression, anxiety, PTSD etc
Some of us are suffering from evil eye, magic and jinn posession issues
Some of u are struggling financially, their husbands have lost jobs and can barely afford anything
Lets be kind and considerate to everyone this Ramadaan. If they don't turn up for Taraweeh or Salaah don't judge them. If someone is not fasting they might be sick, remember not every sickness is physical or visible.
Invite others to your home and share Iftaar or send food to your local Islamic centre or Masjid as many are lonely and depressed doing it all alone. Check up on your sisters in Islaam
For those going through hardships be patient for the sake of Allah. Dont let Shaytaan make you feel depressed because Shaytaan loves it when a believer is sad. Ask Allah to keep you steadfast, turn to Him for truly He's the Best of Helpers.
On the authority of Abu Musa who said:
❝When the Messenger [ﷺ] would send one of his companions for something he would say: ‘Give good news and do not push people away. Make things easy and do not make things difficult.’❞
[Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah of Shaykh Al-Albaani, (No. 992) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya]
On the authority of Sufyan Bin ‘Uayainah, on the authority of Ibn Al-Munkadir in a narration ascribed to the Prophet [ﷺ]:
❝From the best of actions is to make a believer happy, to pay his debt off for him, to take care of his need and to relieve him from distress.❞
[Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah of Al-Albāni, (No. 2291) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya]

"Fasting" is proof that you can stop bad habits.
"Taraweeh" is proof that you can pray voluntary prayers at night.
"Suhur" is proof that you can wake up for Fajr.
"Iftar" is proof that you can do Sabr.
Islam isn't hard. You just haven't realized your own potential yet.

Ramadan will come, and people will fall into four groups.
The first group:
Ramadan enters, and nothing changes. No fasting. No prayer. No concern for the commands of Allah.
The second group:
They abstain from food, drink, and marital relations. But their tongues are still loose. They backbite. They slander. They hurt others.
The third group:
They fast properly. They guard their tongues. They avoid harming others. They stay away from what is haram.
But then there is a fourth group.
They do everything the third group does and more.
They engage the heart.
They read Qur’an daily.
They stand in Qiyam.
They increase in Sadaqah.
They make Dhikr.
They purify their intentions.
They honour Ramadan as the sacred symbol of Islam that it is.
They don’t just fast from food.
They fast from distraction.
From ego.
From heedlessness.
And through that… they attain Taqwa.
The question is: which group will we choose to be in?

Be careful not to become the reason someone turns to Allaah in pain, fear, or deep regret because of you.
Every tear they cry is seen by Him. Every broken prayer is heard.
You may forget what you did, but Allaah never misses the hurt done to His servants. What you cause in silence is never hidden from Him.
So choose kindness. Choose fairness. Because one day, every action will be answered before Him ﷻ

May the Qur’an be a witness for us and never against us.
In every generation, the danger has never been the absence of the Qur’an but the absence of living by it. Today, many people memorise beautifully, recite perfectly, and collect books of tafsīr and ḥadīth… yet the Qur’an remains distant from their actions. We honour its words with our tongues, but forget its commands in our daily choices.
The Prophet ﷺ warned us of a time when people would carry the Qur’an but not allow it to transform their character. Knowledge becomes decoration, not guidance. Memorisation becomes competition, not reflection. We gather verses in our hearts, but fail to let them shape our homes, our dealings, our justice, our compassion, our integrity, and our worship.
This is the real fear:
A person may stand on the Day of Judgement with the very Qur’an they memorised testifying against them not because they lacked knowledge, but because they abandoned practice.
Look at our world today: injustice spreads, families break, hearts harden, and yet Qur’ans sit on shelves untouched except in ceremonies. We have replaced implementation with information, reflection with repetition, and obedience with selective comfort.
The Qur’an was not revealed to be recited only it was revealed to reform.
Not to be memorised alone but to be manifested.
Not to be placed above our heads but to govern our lives.
So let this be our reminder:
Every verse is either a proof for us or a proof against us.
Let us strive to make it a guide we follow, a healing we seek, and a witness that speaks in our favour on the Day when nothing else will.
O Allah, make the Qur’an the light of our hearts, the guide of our actions, and the witness that pleads for us, not against us.
