Question: What are the scenarios relating to the setting of the Sun?

There are five scenarios regarding the setting of the Sun:

The first:
That there is certainty that the sun has set.

Here one breaks the fast.

The second:
That it's thought that it's most likely the case that the sun has set.

Here one breaks the fast, and the proof is the Hadith of Asmaa, and if it wasn't for this Hadith we would've said it is not permissible.

The third:
That there is doubt.

If there is doubt one does not break their fast.

The fourth:
That it's thought that it's most likely the case that the sun hasn't set.

Here one doesn't break the fast.

The fifth:
That there is certainty that the sun hasn't set.

Here also one doesn't break the fast.

In Summary:
In how many scenarios is it permissible to break the fast?

It's permissible to break the fast in two scenarios:

The first:
That there is certainty that the sun has set.

And second:
That it's thought that it's most likely the case that the sun has set.

The second scenario is permitted based upon the Hadith of Asmaa (Bukhari 1959).

The rest of the scenarios do not permit the breaking of the fast.

◾️Does a husband have the right to beat his wife if she doesn’t obey him?◾️

Answered by Shaykh Abu Hamza Hassan bin Muhammed Ba Shu'ayb - may Allah preserve him -

📝🔹Question:

Does a husband have the right to beat his wife if she doesn’t obey him?

📩🔸Answer:

If she doesn’t obey him in that which is good, then he's permitted to discipline her by *beating* her, if there was no avail in admonishment, nor from distancing oneself from her.

Allah, the Most High, said:

(وَاللاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ فَإِنْ أَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلا تَبْغُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيلًا)
As to those women on whose part you see ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance).
[Surah An-Nisa verse 34]

And in a Hadith narrated by Jābir, that the Prophet ﷺ said:

(فَاتَّقُوا اللهَ فِي النِّسَاءِ، فَإِنَّكُمْ أَخَذْتُمُوهُنَّ بِأَمَانِ اللهِ، وَاسْتَحْلَلْتُمْ فُرُوجَهُنَّ بِكَلِمَةِ اللهِ، وَلَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ أَنْ لَا يُوطِئْنَ فُرُشَكُمْ أَحَدًا تَكْرَهُونَهُ، فَإِنْ فَعَلْن ذَلِكَ فَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ ضَرْبًا غَيْرَ مُبَرِّحٍ، وَلَهُنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ رِزْقُهُنَّ وَكِسْوَتُهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ)
Fear Allah concerning women! Verily you have taken them on the security of Allah, and intercourse with them has been made lawful unto you by words of Allah. You too have right over them, and that they should not allow anyone to sit on your bed whom you do not like. But if they do that, you can chastise them but not Mubarrih (* i.e lightly, without harming her and leaving marks; bruises - breaks - what causes bleeding, or striking the face, nor in dangerous areas, or what results in severe pain etc). Their rights upon you are that you should provide them with food and clothing in a fitting manner.
[Reported by Muslim]

So, should I repeat the prayer again?

📩🔸Answer:

If this reoccurs then this is from the Shaytān, and refuge is sought from Allah.

Question: If those that are fasting break the fast due to thinking that the Sun has set, then it became clear to them that the Sun hasn't set; as it occurred to the Companions during the era of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, is this day repaid?


Firstly:

There is an unanimous agreement that one has to abstain, because the time of fasting hasn't ended yet, even if the food was still in the mouth it has to be removed.

And they differed on if this day has to be repaid or not, to two positions:

The Majority took the position of repaying, and they used the statement of Allah the most high as an evidence:

(ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا۟ ٱلصِّيَامَ إِلَى ٱلَّيْلِۚ)
"Then complete the fast until the sunset."
[Al-Baqarah:187]

They also used the statement of Hishaam bin Urwah, as an evidence, and he is the narrator of the Hadith of Asmaa where they broke the fast during a cloudy day, Hishaam was asked:

"Where they commanded to repay?"

To which he replied:

"It is a must to repay".

Reported by Abu Daud (2359).

The Majority used as a proof that the likes of these occurrences happened during the era of Umar may Allah be pleased with him, and Umar said to them:

"The affair is simple, we strove, so we will repay a day".

And this narration is authentically reported from him in the Musanaf of Abdurrazaaq.

The second Madhab:

The Madhab of Ahmad, Ishaaq, Al-Muzani and the Thaahiriyyah, which is that there is no repaying for this day.

And their proof is the Hadith of Abu Hurairah may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger said ﷺ said:

"Whoever forgets whilst fasting and ate and drank, then let them continue their fast, for indeed Allah fed and quenched them".

Reported by Bukhari (1933), and Muslim (1155).

They drew an analogy with eating and drinking whilst having being mistaken upon having ate and drunk whilst having forgotten the fast.

The also used the Hadith of Asmaa as an evidence to that there is no repayment, and Asmaa relayed what occurred in the occurrences, and if they were commanded to repay then this would've been narrated.

As for the statement of Hishaam bin Urwah, then this was his Ijtihaad, and his father Urwah bin Zubair was on the position that there isn't any repaying, and he is higher than him in knowledge and level, and the narration of Umar is understood to mean out of caution, and it also is an Ijtihaad by him.

So the position of the lack of repaying is what is more correct, and it is what has been chosen by Shaykh-Ul-Islam, and Shaykh Al-Utheymeen from the contemporaries.

Similarly all those that eat or drink whilst having forgotten or mistakenly, their fast is correct, even if they didn't come to know of this until after the time has finished.

THE THINGS THAT BREAK THE FAST:

The first affair from the affairs which break the fast:

Eating or drinking.

By the Book and the Sunnah and Consensus.

From the Qur'an:

(وَكُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ ٱلْخَيْطُ ٱلْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْطِ ٱلْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ ٱلْفَجْرِۖ).
"And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the sunset."
[Al-Baqarah:187]

From the Sunnah:

The statement of the Prophet ﷺ as it comes in the Hadith Qudsi:

"...he leaves his food and drink and his lusts for Me..."

Reported by Bukhari (1894), on authority of Abu Hurairah.

As for Consensus:

It has been relayed by Ibn Al-Mundhir, Ibn Hazm, Ibn Qudaamah and others.

What branches out from the subject of:
THE THINGS THAT BREAK THE FAST:

Question: Is eating or drinking specific to the things which nourish the body?

What's intended with things which nourish the body is like food and water.

And what doesn't nourish the body: like clay or stones, and the likes.

Answer:

The people of knowledge have differed on this topic, some of them have taken the position that the things which don't nourish, dont break the fast if you was to eat it and drink it, their proof for this is that it is not considered food nor drink.

And the majority of the people of scholars have taken the position that it does break the fast, even if it doesn't nourish, due to the generality of the evidences, as it was the case that it was consumed as food and drink is consumed.

For example someone swallowing a bead or a ring, this breaks the fast, this is what is most correct, and this is what is the position of the Majority and it has been declared to be most correct by Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Utheymeen.

Question: Does swallowing saliva break the fast?

Answer:

If it's normal saliva; something small, then it doesn't break the fast by unanimous agreement, because this is from what is inescapable.

And they differed regarding if one was to fill ones mouth with it; I.e gather it in the mouth until it filled the mouth and then swallowing it.

Some of the Shaafi'iyyah said:

It breaks the fast.

And others took the position that it doesn't break the fast, and this is what is correct, due to the lack of presence of proof which points to it breaking the fast, and because they didn't come with something new from outside, it is only something from their mouths.

And this is what is what is most correct which has been chosen by Ibn Qudamah, Ibn Baaz and Al-Utheymeen.

And based upon this, it is not befitting for someone fasting to go and spit out the saliva if it was to gather in the mouth, because this contains difficulty, and it is from going out of bounds, and Allah knows best.

Question: If someone swallowed someone else's saliva, what's the ruling of this?

Answer:

An-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

"The scholars unanimously agreed upon that if someone swallowed someone else's saliva, that it breaks their fast".

This is because they got something from outside of their mouths, and swallowed it.

Question: What's the ruling of swallowing left over food between the teeth?

Answer:

If there is some left over food between the teeth, and nothing of it has been swallowed, then this doesn't break the fast, this is clear and obvious.

As for if something of this left overs was swallowed:

The Majority have taken the position that it breaks the fast, because they are like those who ate food, and the difference between those and those that ate, is that the one who eats is consuming it then and there, as for this then it is swallowing what's found between the teeth which was placed in their mouth before Fajr, and then after Fajr entering into their stomachs, so there is no (real) difference.

Abu Hanifa differed with them and said:

It doesn't break the fast.

And what's most correct is the Madhab of the Majority, except if it was something very little, which one can not pay attention to, and is difficult upon a person to remove it, this doesn't harm:

(لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَاۚ)
"Allah does not burden a soul except [with that within] its capacity"
[Al-Baqarah:286]

And the difference between this and saliva is:

That food is something external of the body and saliva is from the mouth.

Question: What's the ruling of tasting and chewing food?

Tasting food is for example like someone cooking during the day in Ramadhan and then wanting to taste the amount of salt in the food, so tasting with their tongue and then spitting it out.

And an example of chewing food is a woman feeding her child, maybe this food is a strong piece of meat, whereby she takes this meat and chews it and then feeds the child.

Does this affect the fast?

These two topics, tasting and chewing food and then removing it, the people of knowledge have differed upon it:

Ahmad, Shaafi'i, Ishaaq, Abu Thawr and Ibn Hazm have taken the position that it doesn't invalidate the fast.

And a narration in this has come from Ibn Abbas may Allah be pleased with him and it has been authentically been reported from him, that he said: there is no harm if someone fasting tasts food from the cooking pot.

And some have taken the position of it being disliked to taste food.

And some have taken the position that it invalidates the fast.

And what is correct is the first position:

That there is no harm in this, and this is what is declared most correct by Shaykh-Ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah.

And the proof is that it is not considered food or drink, and those that are fasting are not to do this except when there is a need.

◾️He fornicated with a woman that was already pregnant, then they agreed to do an abortion◾️

Answered by Shaykh Abu Hamza Hassan bin Muhammed Ba Shu'ayb - may Allah preserve him -

📩🔹Question:

A young man was seduced by a woman which led him to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her once.

This woman was already pregnant before by another man that’s unknown. So, the father of this woman forced this young man to marry her, then he ended up marrying her by force but he didn’t consummate with her out of fear that the longer the woman remained with him; the fetus in her stomach would get attributed to him. Therefore, he agreed with her to get an abortion and the fetus was at the sixth or fifth (month).

Furthermore, some people had issued them a Fatwa (permitting them of this) in this situation fearing that the baby would get attached to him.

Is this considered killing a soul? And what’s obligatory upon them?

May Allah bless you and in your knowledge.

📩🔸Answer:

Yes this is killing a soul because the spirit is already blown in it (at this stage). Therefore, upon him is blood money which is 5 camels, and expiation which is to free a slave. If he doesn’t find, then he needs to fast 2 consecutive months. Furthermore, a man’s marriage to a woman that is already pregnant is invalid.

📝🔹Question:

A female questioner asks:

Is it permissible for a woman to spread her audios of lectures or lessons to men who are foreign to her; under the pretext that the Sahāba used to speak to the women of the Prophet ﷺ from behind a screen? Likewise, also the female companions?

📩🔸Answer:

Where do we find that the female companions and the mothers of the believers held lessons and lectures to men who were foreign to them even if it were behind a screen?!

As for them being asked at a time of need and responding without being soft in speech then there’s no harm in this.

Therefore, we advise women not to spread their audio lessons on social media even if its to other women. For verily, it’s whereabouts may escape or leak to men who are foreign to her, and this is a door of Fitna which is incumbent to close.

Wallahul Must’ān.

Question: What's the ruling of swallowing phlegm or sputum?

Phlegm is what descends from the head to the throat or chest.

Swallowing phlegm has two scenarios:

The first:

Swallowing it before it reaches the mouth, meaning it descending from the head to the stomach.

This isn't considered to break the fast by unanimous agreement.

The second:

If it was made to reach the mouth and then swallowing it.

What is the ruling of this?

Here is where some differing took place.

The Madhab of the Shaafi'iyyah and some of the Hanaabilah is that it breaks the fast, and Ibn Baaz leant towards this.

The second position in this is:

A narration from Ahmad, and the position of some of the Shaafi'iyyah, that it doesn't break the fast.

This position is declared most correct by Ibn Utheymeen, and our Shaykh Muqbil, may Allah have mercy upon them both.

What's closer to what's correct, and Allah knows best, is:

The second position; that phlegm doesn't break the fast, because it isn't food or drink, and nothing was brought from outside, so swallowing it is like swallowing saliva.


NOTIFICATION:

Phlegm is harmful to the body, and it isn't befitting that a person swallows it, because it is excess waste which the body exits to the outside, rather some of the people of knowledge emphasised in the ruling of this, and made it like the one that is swallowing something which is harmful to the body, and the Prophet ﷺ said:

"There is no harming and no reciprocating of harm".

Reported by Ahmad (2865), Ibn Maajah (2337).
