Is it allowed to swallow saliva during a uraza? Features of the month of Ramadan - fasting rules, comments on dubious issues

  • The date: 08.03.2020

In order for swallowing saliva to not disturb fasting, three conditions must be observed.

1. Ingestion of saliva from the mouth.

If the saliva left the mouth (for example, brought saliva to the lips) and then was swallowed, the post is broken, even if it was returned by touching the lips. If the thread or sivak is wetted with saliva, and then this moisture that is on it is swallowed, the post is broken, and if there was no sputum that cannot separate, the post is not broken.

Those who are engaged in sewing or using a sivak should be very careful in these cases.

From swallowing saliva collected in the mouth, fasting is not violated. If a person collects saliva in his mouth and then swallows it, then, according to a reliable word, fasting is not broken, but there are those who claim a violation.

2. Saliva must be clean.

From swallowed unclean saliva, fasting is impaired even if there is blood released in the saliva from the gums.

Ramali in Nihayat writes: “ If a person has most of the time or all the time the gums bleed, then since it is difficult for him to protect himself from blood, indulgence is made. It is enough for him to spit out saliva. ”

3. Saliva should not be mixed with anything

From swallowing saliva, with which something is mixed, fasting is broken. For example, if you swallow saliva with a changed color from the fact that you wet a dyed thread, or from a sivak soaked in water, swallow water with saliva, the post is broken. It does not harm saliva swallowed after rinsing the mouth, because it is difficult to protect against it.

Anyone who, without purpose, gets water in his mouth, then forgot about fasting and swallows, his fasting is not violated. If water gets inside from the fact that the fasting person opened his mouth in the water, the fasting is broken.

If a fly, a mosquito or road dust gets into the mouth of a fasting person and he swallows it, his post is not violated, even if he had the opportunity to close his mouth and protect himself from it. This is because it is difficult to constantly defend against them.

Moreover, if these objects get inside from the fact that we will keep our mouth open, our post is not violated. But if, when we open our mouths, we voluntarily pull something in, from this the post is violated. If you intentionally keep your mouth open and put dust in your mouth, you need to rinse your mouth, you also need to rinse your mouth, if we, having the opportunity to protect ourselves from dust, but without doing this, have accumulated dirty dust.

We are dear to us every day, every month, given to us by the Almighty, but among the 12 months of the Muslim calendar, it is Ramadan that is distinguished by its sacredness and it is not for nothing that this month is called the Crown of the Year, “Shahrullah” (month of Allah) and “Ziyafatullah” (feast of Allah).

According to the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (C), at the beginning of the month of Ramadan, the gates of Paradise open, the gates of Hell are closed and the shaitans are tied so that they do not harm Muslims, do not lead them off the Path of Truth: “If people knew all the benefits of the month of Ramadan, they would wish so that it lasts forever, "says Allah in the Holy Quran. Just as the autumn rain cleanses the earth of all dust, so the month of Ramadan cleanses the soul of believers from sins.

It was in the month of Ramadan that the Holy Quran began to condescend to the Prophet Muhammad (C). The Qur'an says about fasting: “O those who believed! Fasting is prescribed to you, just as it was prescribed to those who were before you — maybe you will be God-fearing!” - for the counted days; and which of you is sick or the way, that’s the number of other days. And for those that can, it’s ransom by feeding the poor. Whoever takes up the good voluntarily is better for him. And for you to fast, it is better for you, if you know. ”

How to fast the post

Every Muslim should worship Allah and follow His commands. The Almighty determined the order of fasting during the blessed month of Ramadan. Fasting in the month of Ramadan is mandatory for everyone, conscious, adult, and able to fast according to Sharia Muslim.

Every day, after morning eating (imsak), before you start fasting, you must say (niyyet):

"I hold fast in the holy month of Ramadan" and then pronounce "Bismillahi rahmani rahim. Wajib gurbeten il Allah." It will be useful to read a special prayer for this day of fasting (prayers of each day of fasting can be found in a mosque or from religious literature).

And in the evening during a conversation (iftar), before eating, one should say: “Bismillahi rahmani rahim” - “In the name of Allah the Merciful and Merciful” and a prayer for the fasting:

"Allahumma lyaku sumu ve al rizgik efertu ve eleikya tevekkeltu fetabel mini entes- Samiul Elim. Allahumma I am Vasiel-Magfireti Igfirli."

Translation from Arabic: "O Allah, I held Oruj for You. With the blessings sent by You I open Iftar, bow before You and turn to You. Accept my Oruj. Truly You are hearer to prayers and Omniscient. O Most High Creator and Master, forgive my sins!"

It is advisable to open an Iftar post with a date, pure water, milk or something sweet. In no case should you eat foods that contain pork meat or alcohol supplements during meals. It is undesirable to eat too tightly in the morning or in the evening, this burdens the body and is harmful to health. It is also advisable to feed those who fasted in the evening. According to the hadith, the one who fed the fast on the evening will receive the same reward as the one who fasted.

What is impossible during fasting

In the period between morning and evening prayers (fasting table below), some actions cannot be performed:

1) Deliberately lying, swearing in the name of Allah, the prophets and imams.

2) Eat and drink. In addition, nothing should enter the body through natural openings. For example, it is impossible for water to enter the ear opening, or thick fog, smoke and steam (flour, dust, cigarette smoke, etc.) got into the body through the mouth or nose, you cannot also chew gum and make enemas . But if a person accidentally eats or drinks something, forgetting about fasting, this does not violate the fast - in this case, you must immediately stop eating or drinking. If the fasting person draws water into his mouth, remembering fasting, for example, during bathing or for cooling, and accidentally swallows it, then fasting is broken. After the morning meal (imsak) before the start of fasting, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the oral cavity and between the teeth of food debris, since if you eat small food debris during fasting, it violates the fast.

3) Engage in sexual intercourse. It is also undesirable for spouses to engage in intimate caresses that excite each other. Spouses who had intimacy at night should bathe before fasting. Note that if an orgasm occurred during sleep (pollination), then this does not lead to a stop of the post. In this case, you should swim and continue the post.

4) Vomiting, if occurred deliberately, violates the post. If the fasting person pulls out against his will, then the fast is not broken, only rinse your mouth.

5) Menstruation (postpartum discharge). The appearance of menstruation even before sunset violates fasting.

Fasting

“Which of you will catch this month, let him spend it in fasting, and whoever is sick or on the road, may keep fasting on other days. Allah wishes you relief and does not want difficulties, and so that you complete and complete the fasting and magnify the Lord for that that He led you to the true path, maybe you will be grateful! " - said in the Quran.

Fasting is obligatory for all believers, except minors, the elderly and seriously ill, demented, pregnant women and nursing mothers, travelers and those who are on the battlefield. During a period of monthly and postnatal cleansing, a woman should fast a sin, but after cleansing, she should compensate for the missed days of fasting. As well as the patient, after recovery, and do this before the onset of the month of Ramadan next year. But if a person is sick or old, and can’t keep fasting, then for every missed day of fasting he must feed the poor. If the post was skipped voluntarily, due to negligence or neglect, then this is a serious sin and a heavy fine will be imposed on it (ask about the size in the mosque).

Fasting improves health

Following the rules of fasting purifies a Muslim not only spiritually, but also strengthens his health. If a person constantly eats and drinks abundantly, not giving the body rest, then poisonous substances accumulate in the body. The human body, tired of systematic eating throughout the year, rests this month. At the same time, a kind of updating takes place in our body. Here is what the Prophet Muhammad (C) said on this occasion: "Keep your ojj and you will become healthier."

According to doctors, fasting strengthens the immune system, improving the functional parameters of lymphocytes tenfold, as well as increasing the content of cells responsible for immunity; prevents obesity; prevents the formation of excess acidity, which is the main cause of stomach ulcers; protects against the formation of kidney stones, as it increases the sodium content in the blood, interfering with the calcination processes; restrains sexual instincts, and especially in young people, thereby protecting the body from mental and physical disorders; abstinence from drinking increases the body's energy and learning ability, improves memory; activates and optimizes the metabolic processes taking place in cells with the participation of glucose, fats and proteins.

The month of forgiveness of sins and gifts from the Almighty

In the month of Ramadan, Allah sends great blessings to people, forgives them of their sins, ennobles and bestows.

Haji Fuad Nurullah - Dean of Baku Islamic University  : “In the name of Allah the Merciful, the Merciful! Fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam and leads to the highest spiritual and physical balance. This month, the inexhaustible riches and grace of our Creator are hidden, in which Allah forgives people their sins, ennobles and endows. It’s not necessary to think that fasting is just a restriction in food intake. Believers should refrain from sinful thoughts, words, deeds. It is necessary to keep fasting with thoughts, and ears, and eyes, and language, and it is imperative to do as many good deeds as possible. ate. "

Fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam. Prophet Muhammad (C) said: "Whoever fasted with faith and hope for a reward, past sins will be forgiven him." "He who observes the Fast for the sake of Allah, that Allah moves away from the Hellfire for seventy years for every day of the Fast." "Oruj is like a shield protecting people from all sins and vices." The Prophet Muhammad (C) urged this month to strive to do as many good deeds as possible, repent of past sins, ask for forgiveness from the Almighty, give alms, study the Koran and read prayers. Muslims who do not observe fasting in the month of Ramadan will be strictly punished by the Almighty, while following the instructions will bring many blessings from Allah. Moreover, the size of the reward depends on the behavior of the fasting person. To understand the greatness of Oruj and imagine the enormous reward that we can receive for it, we will quote the Prophet Muhammad (C): “The reward for each good deed of a person increases from ten to seven hundred times, except Fasting. Allah Almighty said:“ Fasting It is done for me, and I, who reward the fasting person, because he holds his passions for Me and suffers hunger for Me. "I swear that the smell from the mouth of the faster is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk."

Destiny Night

The exact date of the sending of the Qur'an is unknown, but for centuries Muslim believers have been celebrating the holy night of Leylat al-Gadr in the last 10 days of Ramadan at night on the odd days of the month (Ehya gajesi). In another way, it was called the Night of the Destiny of Fate, because it is believed that it is on this night that the Almighty make up the fate of man for the coming year. The Qur'an says: “We sent it (the Qur'an) to the Night of Predestination. How do you know what the Night of Predestination is? The night of Predestination is better than a thousand months. Angels and the Spirit (Jabrail) descend this night, with the permission of their Lord, in order to fulfill His commands. "That night - sending greetings until dawn."

As a rule, some Muslims celebrate this night from 18 to 19, from 20 to 21, and from 22 to 23 of the month of Ramadan. Others believe that the Holy Night falls on the night of 26 to 27 of the month of Ramadan.

The Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Caucasus in the official table of the month of Ramadan combined these opinions. Therefore, “Leilat al-Gyadr” (“Gadr Gedzheleri”) will be celebrated this year at night - from 18 to 19 (from 28 to 29 August), from 20 to 21 (from 30 to 31 August), from 22 to 23 ( from September 1 to September 2), and from 26 to the 27th month (from September 5 to 6) Ramadan.

Doubtful moments in the explanation of Akhunda

There are certain moments of fasting that cause people to doubt. To clarify them, Trend Life turned to Haji of the These Pir mosque, Haji Faizu Nagizade:

- Some healthy people believe that they can "pay off" fasting with good deeds.

No, such acts are not accepted by Allah, since every healthy Muslim must fast. For a deliberate, deliberate violation of fasting, when there is no threat to life or health, a person is subjected to a "kaffar", i.e. fine - for one missed day it is necessary to keep the post after the end of Ramadan for two months or for each day of violation of the law to feed 60 needy with lunch. The post is also not accepted by hypocrites who want to gain respect in society by this. In the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (C) it says: "How many of the fasting will receive only hunger as a reward for their fast, and how many engaged in the service of Allah at night - only insomnia."

- Is it possible to have weddings this month?

This is not forbidden, but some misunderstand the meaning of weddings. They think that you can hold festivities with alcohol. One must understand that Ramadan is a month of spiritual and moral purification, approaching the Lord, therefore weddings should be relegated to the background.

“Can a fasting woman use cosmetics and incense?”

It is not forbidden, but it is better to abstain. In principle, a woman can always use makeup, incense and dress jewelry, but only for the sake of her husband, and not in order to attract the attention of other men. In addition, do not forget that lipstick from the lips can enter the body, and this is unacceptable during fasting.

Is it possible to swallow saliva and phlegm during fasting, give injections, remove a tooth, try food, rinse your mouth and bathe?

It is better not to commit actions that cause blood loss, including tooth extraction. If the gums bleed and the fasting swallows blood with saliva, in this case, the post is broken. Taking medication also interrupts fasting. Injections are given to sick people, for whom fasting is not desirable, but after recovery, a person must reimburse these days. In turn, swallowing saliva and sputum does not interrupt fasting, as well as rinsing the mouth and bathing. Only a bathing person should take care not to swallow water and not to plunge into the water with his head. For example, do not jump into the pool or the sea.

- Is it possible for a housewife or a cook to try food while cooking?

You can taste food, but not swallow it, but spit it out. If food is swallowed out of oblivion or unconsciously, then oruj is not considered interrupted.

Some couples during the month of Ramadan categorically refuse to have intimate relationships. Is it correct?

Naturally, this time of fasting is unacceptable, but after an evening conversation before the morning prayer, intimate relationships are allowed, but with the condition of complete washing before the morning prayer. The Qur'an says: “You are allowed to approach your wives on the night of fasting: they are a robe for you, and you are a robe for them. Allah knew that you were deceiving yourself, and turned to you and forgave you. Now, touch them and look for what Allah has prescribed for you. Eat and drink until you see the white thread and the black thread at dawn, then do the fast until night ... "

- Does Oruj count towards a person if he does not perform the prayer?

For a Muslim, five obligations are prescribed: to perform namaz, hold fast, pay zakat (a mandatory tax for charity) and hums (part of the annual income), perform jihad and hajj to Mecca (as far as possible). All these provisions are interrelated, but it cannot be considered that if a person does not perform the prayer, but holds fast, this will not be counted. It is believed that the fulfillment of one of these obligations is a gradual step towards the other. Than not to fulfill your duty to Allah in general, it is better to do it at least in parts. Thus, a person who does not perform namaz can observe Oruj and he will be counted.

In order for swallowing saliva to not disturb fasting, three conditions must be observed.

1. Ingestion from the mouth. If the saliva left the mouth, for example, brought saliva to the lips and was then swallowed, the post is broken, even if it was returned by touching the lips.

Those who are engaged in sewing or using a sivak should be very careful in these cases.

If you stick out your tongue with saliva from your mouth, then swallow saliva, then the post is not broken, because the tongue is the internal organ of the mouth. Also, fasting is not broken if you separate the saliva from the tongue with a coin or the like and swallow it from the tongue.

From swallowing saliva collected in the mouth, fasting is not violated. If a person collects saliva in his mouth and then swallows it, then, according to a reliable word, fasting is not broken, but there are those who claim a violation.

2. Saliva must be clean.  From swallowed unclean saliva, fasting is impaired even if there is blood released in the saliva from the gums.

Ramali in Nihayat writes: “If a person has most of the time or all the time the gums bleed, how hard it is for him to protect him, they forgive him and make relief. It is enough for him to spit out saliva. ”

3. Non-mixing with anything pure saliva.  From swallowing saliva, with which something is mixed, fasting is broken. For example, if you swallow saliva with a changed color from the fact that you wet a dyed thread, or from a sivak soaked in water, swallow water with saliva, the post is broken. It does not harm saliva swallowed after rinsing the mouth, because it is difficult to protect against it.

Anyone who, without purpose, gets water in his mouth, then forgot about fasting and swallows, his fasting is not violated. If water gets inside from the fact that the fasting person opened his mouth in the water, the fasting is broken.

If a fly, a mosquito or road dust gets into the mouth of a fasting person and he swallows it, his post is not violated, even if he had the opportunity to close his mouth and protect himself from it. This is because it is difficult to constantly defend against them.

Moreover, if these objects get inside from the fact that we will keep our mouth open, our post is not violated. But if, when we open our mouths, we voluntarily pull something in, from this the post is violated. If you intentionally keep your mouth open and put dust in your mouth, you need to rinse your mouth, you also need to rinse your mouth, if we, having the opportunity to protect ourselves from dust, but without doing this, have accumulated dirty dust.

Ibnu Hajar says that dirty dust harms the post, and Ramali claims the opposite. Allah knows best.

2. Will gastroscopy (examination of the stomach by insertion of a tube) break the post? Aslan.

1. Observing fasting, you can not take medicine in the daytime. I advise you to start treatment (medication) at the end of the month of Ramadan. As for physiotherapy, this does not affect the reality of your post.

2. No, gastroscopy will not interfere with fasting.

Replenish one to one after the month of Ramadan at a time convenient for you, for example, on a day off.

Is smoking a hookah haram and is it possible to smoke a hookah in Ramadan?

Smoking a hookah is forbidden (haram) both in Ramadan and at any other time. Read about this in my book Men and Islam.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “He who has broken the fast because of forgetfulness does not make up for it, and there is no redemption on it. [That is, remembering the observed fast, the person stops the action that violates the fast and continues to fast. His post has not been broken]. ” Hadith from Abu Huraira; St. x al-Hakim and al-Bayhaki. See, for example: As-Suyut J. Al-Jami ‘as-sagyr. S. 517, Hadith No. 8495, "Sahih."

This hadith applies to all three points mentioned. For more details see, for example: Al-Bukhari M. Sahih al-Bukhari [Code of Hadith of Imam Al-Bukhari]. In 5 t. Beirut: al-Maktaba al-Qasriya, 1997.V. 2.P. 574.

“Who, out of forgetfulness, begins to eat or drink, he ends the fast [on this day]. Verily, the Almighty fed and watered him [that is, fasting was not broken, but marked by the Lord]. ” Hadith from Abu Huraira; St. x al-Bukhari and Muslim. See, for example: Al-Bukhari M. Sahih al-Bukhari. In 5 vol. T. 2.P. 574, hadith No. 1933.

See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-Islami wa adilyatuh. In 11 vol. T. 3. S. 1731; al-Sha‘ravi M. Al-Fatawa [Fatwa]. Cairo: al-Fatah, 1999.S. 115; ‘Ali Jumqa M. Fatava‘ Asriya. T. 2.P. 72.

See, for example: Abu Dawood S. Sunan Abi Dawood [Hadith Code Abu Dawood]. Riyadh: al-Afkar ad-dawliya, 1999. S. 270, hadiths No. 2378 and 2379, both “Hassan”; Ibn Majah M. Sunan [Code of Hadith]. Riyadh: al-Afkar ad-davliya, 1999. S. 184, hadith No. 1678, “sahih”; al-Kardawi Yu. Fatava muqasyr. In 2 vols. T. 1.P. 305, 306.

It is authentically known that "the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) performed bloodletting during the fast." Hadith from Ibn ‘Abbas; St. x Imam al-Bukhari. See, for example: Al-Bukhari M. Sahih al-Bukhari. In 5 vol. T. 2. S. 576, Hadith No. 1938 and 1939; Imam Malik. Al movatto. Cairo: al-Hadith, 1993. Ch. 18. Part 10. S. 247, Hadith No. 30–32; also. Beirut: Ihya al-Qulum, 1990. S. 232, Hadith No. 662-664.

Miswak is a stick that replaces a toothbrush and toothpaste at the same time.

It is reliably known that the Prophet used a miswak during fasting. See, for example: Al-Qardawi Yu. Fatava mu‘asyr. In 2 vol. T. 1.P. 329.

You can refrain from using toothpaste during fasting. B aboutthe majority of scientists say that getting it into the stomach violates fasting. If a person uses it, then you must be careful not to swallow. See, for example: Al-Qardawi Yu. Fatava mu‘asyr. In 2 vol. T. 1. S. 329, 330; ‘Ali Jumqa M. Fatava‘ Asriya. T. 1.P. 112.

For more details, see the article “Oral hygiene during fasting”.

See, for example: Al-Bukhari M. Sahih al-Bukhari. In 5 vol. T. 2.P. 574; al-Zuhaili V. Al-fiqh al-Islami wa adillatuh. In 11 vol. T. 3. S. 1731; ‘Ali Jumqa M. Fatava‘ Asriya. T. 1.P. 97, 98.

Imam al-Bukhari cites in his code of hadith several cases from the life of his associates and representatives of the next generation after them that they performed various water procedures during the fast. See, for example: Al-Bukhari M. Sahih al-Bukhari. In 5 vol. T. 2.P. 573.

For more details, see the article “Rinsing the mouth and shower during fasting”.

Intentional inhalation of tobacco smoke, that is, smoking cigarettes, hookah, disrupts fasting. Read more about the permissibility of smoking cigarettes and hookah from the point of view of Muslim canons, read in my book "Men and Islam" or on the website.

In the event of obvious ingestion of blood or drugs, fasting is impaired. An exception may be cases of ingestion with saliva into the larynx, the esophagus of something that is extremely insignificant, closer to suspiciousness than to explicit ingestion of blood or medicine.

Self-induction of vomiting, in which the oral cavity is filled with vomit, as well as the intentional ingestion of vomiting, violate the post. In this case, it will be necessary to replenish it. See, for example: Ibn Majah M. Sunan [Code of Hadith]. Riyadh: al-Afkar ad-davliya, 1999. S. 183, hadith No. 1676, "sahih".

See the article “Vomiting during Lent” for more details.

See, for example: ‘Ali Jum‘a M. Fatava‘ asriya. T. 1. S. 107, 109, as well. T. 2.P. 89.

As for enemas, in all cases they violate fasting. So the majority considers. See, for example: ‘Ali Jum‘a M. Fatava‘ asriya. T. 1.P. 108.

I mention, however, that there is a well-founded opinion of large and respected imams, such as Ibn Hazma, Ibn Taymiyyah and others, that enemas not  violate the post. In an exceptional case, I believe that this opinion can also be used. See, for example: Al-Qardawi Yu. Fatava mu‘asyr. In 2 vol. T. 1. S. 305, 306; Shaltut M. Al-Fatawa [Fatwa]. Cairo: ash-Shuruk, 2001. P. 136, 137. The basis for this opinion is that the ban during fasting concerns food and drink, which enter the stomach through the larynx, and therefore it makes no sense to prohibit what enters the human body in other ways.

See, for example: ‘Ali Jum‘a M. Fatava‘ asria. T. 1. S. 103, as well. T. 2.P. 88; al-Kardawi Yu. Fatava muqasyr. In 2 vols. T. 1.P. 305, 306.

For more details about this, see, for example: Al-‘Askalani A. Fath al-bari bi sharh sahih al-bukhari [Opening by the Creator (for a person in the understanding of the new) through comments on the set of hadiths of al-Bukhari]. In 18 t. Beirut: al-Qutub al-Gilmiyya, 2000.V. 5.P. 192, 193.

See, for example: Al-Qardawi Yu. Fatava mu‘asyr. In 2 vol. T. 1. S. 305, 306; Shaltut M. Al-Fatava. S. 136, 137.

See, for example: ‘Ali Jum‘a M. Fatava‘ asria. T. 1.P. 108.

Most often, two types of suppositories are used: vaginal and rectal. The first of them are usually used to treat various diseases of the female genital organs. And suppositories intended for insertion into the rectum can be divided into two groups. The first group includes those candles that act at the injection site. They may have, for example, antihemorrhoids effect. The second group includes candles, which are like substitutes for tablets. That is, medicinal substances from them are absorbed, enter the bloodstream and have an effect on the whole organism. The same substance, released in tablets and in suppositories, passes through the body in different ways. A medicine that has entered the stomach and intestines is affected by many digestive enzymes. And the medicine that gets into the rectum is immediately absorbed into the blood, bypassing the liver, it does not have to “pass” through the entire digestive tract. See: https://health.sarbc.ru/lechebnye-svechi.html.

See: ‘Ali Jumqa M. Fatava‘ asria. T. 1. S. 93; al-Kardawi Yu. Fatava muqasyr. In 2 vol. T. 1. S. 305, 306; Shaltut M. Al-Fatava. S. 136, 137.

The basis for this opinion is that the ban during fasting concerns food and drink, which enter the stomach through the larynx, and therefore there is no point in banning what enters the human body in other ways.

See, for example: Al-Qardawi Yu. Fatava mu‘asyr. In 2 vol. T. 1.P. 305.
