Ramadan FAQS: Is It Permissible to Skip Fasting Due to Illness? Islamic Ruling

Ramadan FAQS: Is It Permissible to Skip Fasting Due to Illness? Islamic Ruling

Find out when fasting can be skipped due to illness in Islam. Learn about rulings on gallstones, nausea, and low blood sugar, along with fidya and qada options for missed fasts. Get clear, authentic answers based on Islamic teachings and expert guidance.

Ramadan FAQS Is It Permissible to Skip Fasting Due to Illness Islamic Ruling

Question: I have large stones in my gallbladder (Pitta). I have fasted for two days, but today after Sehri, I am feeling nauseous and in severe pain. My sugar level has also dropped. What should I do? Should I continue fasting despite my illness?

This question is answered by Mufti Muhammad Shaheed Barakati Mehrati, a renowned scholar of Islamic jurisprudence.

Answer: According to Islamic teachings, if a person is sick and fears that fasting will worsen their condition or delay their recovery, it is permissible for them to skip the fast. They must, however, make up for the missed fasts later when they are healthy.

In Islamic jurisprudence, this ruling is supported by references from:

  • Juhrah Nayyira, Volume 1, Page 142

  • Durre Mukhtar and Ma'arad Dul Muhtar, Volume 2, Page 422

  • Bahare Shariat Part 5, Example 6 of Sehri and Iftaar rulings

This ruling is confirmed in Islamic books:

"Juhrah Nayyira, Volume 1, Page 142, Durre Mukhtar, Ma'arad Dul Muhtar, Ulf Fattah Wajshami, Volume 2, Page 422, and in reference to these, Bahare Shariat, Part 5, the statement of Sehri and Iftaar, Example 6 states: If a patient believes that fasting will worsen his health or cause further illness, then it is permissible for him not to fast on that day."

A patient has the flexibility to avoid fasting if they genuinely believe that fasting could harm their health. If their condition improves, they should compensate for the missed fasts at a later time.

May Allah grant you, us, and all sick individuals good health. Ameen.

================================================================

Question: Mere gallbladder (Pitta) me bade stones hain. Maine do din roze rakhe, lekin aaj Sehri ke baad bahut nausea ho raha hai aur dard bhi ho raha hai. Sugar level bhi low ho gaya hai. Kya mujhe roze rakhne chahiye ya nahi?

Jawaab de rahe hain Mufti Muhammad Shaheed Barakati, ek mashhoor Islamic scholar.

Answer: Agar koi shakhs bimaar hai aur usko lagta hai ki roza rakhne se tabiyat aur bigad sakti hai ya recovery slow ho sakti hai, toh Islam me ijazat hai ki wo roza chhod sakta hai. Lekin baad me jab tabiyat theek ho jaye, toh chhode hue roze qaza karne honge.

Is masle ka saboot Islamic kitaabon me bhi diya gaya hai:

  • Juhrah Nayyira, Volume 1, Page 142

  • Durre Mukhtar aur Ma'arad Dul Muhtar, Volume 2, Page 422

  • Bahare Shariat, Part 5, Sehri aur Iftaar ke ahkaam ka Example 6

Is masle ka saboot Islamic kitaabon me bhi diya gaya hai:

"Juhrah Nayyira, Volume 1, Page 142, Durre Mukhtar, Ma'arad Dul Muhtar, Ulf Fattah Wajshami, Volume 2, Page 422, aur in dono ke hawale se Bahare Shariat, Part 5, Sehri aur Iftaar ke bayan, Masla 6 me likha hai: Agar koi bimaar shakhs samajhta hai ki roza rakhne se uski tabiyat aur kharab ho sakti hai ya bimari badh sakti hai, toh uske liye roza na rakhna jaiz hai."

Agar doctor se salah lekar aisi dawai mil jaye jo sirf Sehri aur Iftaar ke beech li ja sake, toh roza rakha ja sakta hai. Agar zaroorat ho toh injection bhi lagwaya ja sakta hai, kyunki isse roza nahi tootta. Lekin agar roza rakhna bohot mushkil ho jaye aur tabiyat aur kharab hone ka ya dair se theek hone ka khatra ho, toh Islam me roza chhodne ki ijazat hai, lekin baad me uski qaza karni hogi.

Allah aapko, humein aur har bimaar ko shifa de. Ameen.

Allah Hafiz.

Love, Fate & Marriage: Does Allah Decide Your Marriage?

Love, Fate & Marriage: Does Allah Decide Your Marriage?

FAQs on Marriage, Fate, and Free Will in Islam

Does Allah decide your marriage, or do you have a choice? Explore the Islamic perspective on fate, free will, and the right way to choose a spouse.

Question asked by: Hafiz Naeem from Raghubir Nagar, Delhi

Answered by: Mufti Muhammad Shahid Barakati

“If Allah decides our pairs, then are runaway marriages also His will?”

This is a common question, especially in today's time when interfaith marriages and love marriages are becoming more frequent. Many people believe that marriages are written by Allah, so does that mean if a Muslim girl runs away with a non-Muslim, it was also Allah’s decision?

The answer to this is yes and no – let’s break it down in simple terms.



1️⃣ Does Allah decide marriages?

Yes, everything happens by the will of Allah, but there’s a difference between fate (Qadr) and free will (Ikhtiyar).

Allah has created two types of decisions:
1️⃣ Qaza-e-Mubram (Final Fate): Some things are fixed and cannot change, like our date of birth, death, and natural events.
2️⃣ Qaza-e-Muallak (Conditional Fate): Some things depend on our choices, like our actions, efforts, and decisions – marriage is one of them.

💡 Example: If a person eats unhealthy food and gets sick, can they say, “It was Allah’s will that I got sick”? No! Because they had the choice to eat healthy but chose otherwise. Similarly, who we marry is our choice, but Islam has given clear guidelines on whom to marry and whom to avoid.


2️⃣ Is running away for love also Allah’s will?

No, Islam does not support this. Allah has given humans free will to make decisions, but with responsibility. Just because something happens does not mean Allah approves of it.

📖 Qur'an Reference:
"And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe (in Islam). And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheistic woman, even if she pleases you. And do not marry polytheistic men until they believe. A believing slave is better than a polytheist, even if he pleases you. They invite you to the Fire, while Allah invites you to Paradise and forgiveness by His will."
📚 (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:221)

This ayah clearly tells us that a Muslim should not marry a polytheist (idol worshipper), even if they find them attractive or good-hearted.

💡 Example: If a father tells his son not to touch fire, but the son still touches it and gets burned – can he blame the father? No! Because he was warned. Similarly, Islam has warned Muslims not to enter such marriages, as they can lead to loss of faith.


3️⃣ What happens if a Muslim girl or boy marries a non-Muslim?

Islam does not allow a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man. If she does, the marriage is not valid in Islam.

📖 Qur'an Reference:
"Bad women are for bad men, and bad men are for bad women. Good women are for good men, and good men are for good women."
📚 (Surah An-Nur 24:26)

🔹 If a Muslim girl runs away and marries a non-Muslim – she is making a decision based on desire, not faith. Islam warns against such choices because they often lead to loss of faith, broken families, and regret later in life.

🔹 If a Muslim boy marries a non-Muslim girl – in some cases, Islam allows marriage with Christian or Jewish women only if they truly follow their religion and are modest. But even this is discouraged, as it can cause faith-related conflicts in the family.


4️⃣ Is everything written, or can we change our fate?

Marriage is written, but we also have a choice.
Our choices determine the outcome of our life.
Dua, good deeds, and effort can change fate.

📖 Hadith:
"Nothing changes fate except Dua."
📚 (Sunan Ibn Majah, 90)

💡 Example: If a student does not study and fails, can they say, “It was written that I would fail”? No! They had the choice to work hard and change their result. Similarly, we have the choice to follow Islam’s guidance on marriage and relationships.


5️⃣ What is the Islamic way to find a life partner?

Instead of running away for love, Islam gives a respectful way to choose a life partner:

Make dua for a good spouse.
Look for piety and good character first, not just looks or money.
Involve parents and elders for guidance.
Do Istikhara (prayer for guidance).
Follow the Islamic Nikah process, which is simple and full of Barakah.

📖 Hadith:
"A woman is married for four reasons: her wealth, her lineage, her beauty, and her religion. Choose the one with religion, and you will be successful."
📚 (Sahih Bukhari, 5090; Sahih Muslim, 1466)

💡 Example: Just like we don’t buy a car just because it looks good, but also check its engine, performance, and durability – choosing a spouse should also be based on long-term qualities like faith, character, and values.


6️⃣ What if someone has already made a mistake? Can they return?

Yes! Islam always gives a chance to return to the right path. If someone has already done something against Islamic teachings:

They should sincerely repent (Tawbah).
Make a strong intention to follow Islamic guidance.
Seek help from scholars and family to make things right.
If married outside Islam, seek proper advice from a scholar on how to correct the situation.

📖 Hadith:
"The one who repents from sin is like the one who has never sinned."
📚 (Sunan Ibn Majah, 4250)



Allah has given us free will, but with responsibility. Marriage should be based on faith, values, and compatibility, not just emotions. Running away for love is not Allah’s plan – it is a human decision that comes with consequences. May Allah guide us all towards the right path.

Many people wonder if there is a special prayer (Namaz) to be performed on the first night of marriage. According to Islamic teachings, certain recommended acts can bring blessings, harmony, and love between the husband and wife. These include performing two Rak'ahs of Namaz, making supplications (Dua), and seeking Allah’s guidance for a blessed and righteous marital life. Below are the key rulings and Hadith references regarding this practice.


📌 Question asked by: Mr. Abdul Hameed Khan 
📌 Answered by: Mufti Muhammad Shahid Barkati


1️⃣ Is there a special prayer (Namaz) for the first night of marriage?

Answer: Yes, it is recommended for the husband and wife to perform two Rak'ahs of Namaz together as a form of gratitude (Shukr) to Allah.

📌 If the bride is in a state of impurity (e.g., menstruation), she should not perform Namaz, and only the groom should offer the prayer.

📖 Hadith Reference:
A man once said to Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه):
"I have married a girl, and I fear that she may not like me."
Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) replied:
"Love and intimacy between husband and wife come from Allah, while hatred and separation are from Satan. When you go to your wife, tell her to pray behind you."
📚 (Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, 17769)


2️⃣ What is the best way to perform this special prayer?

Answer:
✔ Both the bride and groom should perform ablution (Wudu) before the prayer.
✔ Pray two Rak'ahs of Namaz with the intention of gratitude (Shukran).
✔ After completing the prayer, make the following Dua for blessings in marriage:

📖 Dua for Marriage Blessings:
اللهم بارك لي في أهلي وبارك لهم في
اللهم ارزقها مني وارزقني منها
اللهم اجمع بيننا كما جمعت
وفرق بيننا إذا فرقت في خير

Translation:
"O Allah, bless me in my spouse, and bless my spouse in me. O Allah, grant me benefit from my spouse, and grant my spouse benefit from me. O Allah, keep us together in goodness, and separate us only when it is best for us."


3️⃣ What is the Sunnah practice when meeting one’s spouse for the first time?

Answer: It is recommended that the groom places his right hand on the bride’s forehead and recites the following Dua:

📖 Dua for Love & Protection:
اللهم إني أسألك خيرها وخير ما جبلتها عليه
وأعوذ بك من شرها وشر ما جبلتها عليه

Translation:
"O Allah, I ask You for her goodness and the goodness upon which she was created. And I seek refuge in You from her evil and the evil upon which she was created."
📚 (Sunan Abu Dawood, 2160; Ibn Majah, 1918)

Scholars mention that reciting this Dua will bring love and harmony between husband and wife, and if any evil exists, Allah will remove it and replace it with goodness.


4️⃣ What Dua should be recited before intimacy?

Answer: Before consummation, both husband and wife should recite this important Dua to seek protection from Satan’s interference:

📖 Dua Before Intimacy:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ، اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا

Translation:
"In the name of Allah, O Allah, keep Satan away from us and keep Satan away from what You provide for us (our offspring).”
📚 (Sahih Bukhari, 141; Sahih Muslim, 1434)

🔹 Benefit of this Dua: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If a child is conceived from this union, Satan will not be able to harm the child.”


5️⃣ Why is reciting Bismillah important before intimacy?

Answer: Just as Satan participates in our eating and drinking if we do not recite Bismillah, the same applies to marital relations. If Bismillah is not recited, Satan may influence the child’s character and cause spiritual harm.

📖 Hadith Reference:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"When one of you wants to be with his wife, let him say:
'Bismillah, Allahumma jannibna ash-shaytaan, wa jannib ash-shaytaan ma razaqtana.'
By this, Allah will protect the child from the influence of Satan."

📚 (Sahih Muslim, 1434; Sahih Bukhari, 141)


6️⃣ How does following these Sunnahs benefit a marriage?

Answer:
✔ Strengthens love and understanding between husband and wife
✔ Brings Barakah (blessings) in the relationship
✔ Protects the couple and future children from Satan’s influence
✔ Encourages a Sunnah-based marital life

📖 Hadith Reference:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"The best among you are those who are best to their wives."
📚 (Sunan Ibn Majah, 1978; Sahih Tirmidhi, 1162)


🔹 Final Words

Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ) know best. May Allah bless all marriages with love, peace, and righteousness.

📌 शादी की पहली रात की नमाज़ और दुआओं पर इस्लामी रहनुमाई (FAQs)


अक्सर लोग ये सवाल करते हैं कि शादी की पहली रात कोई ख़ास नमाज़ अदा करनी चाहिए या नहीं? इस्लामी तालीमात के मुताबिक़, शादी की पहली रात कुछ सुन्नत अमल अदा करना बेहतरीन माना गया है, जो शौहर और बीवी के दरमियान मुहब्बत, बरकत और सुकून लाने का ज़रिया बनते हैं। इनमें दो रकात नमाज़ अदा करना, अल्लाह से दुआ मांगना और नेक ज़िंदगी की दुआ करना शामिल है। नीचे इस सिलसिले में इस्लामी हिदायतें और अहादीस के हवाले दिए गए हैं।


1️⃣ क्या शादी की पहली रात कोई ख़ास नमाज़ अदा करनी चाहिए?

जवाब: हां, यह बेहतर है कि शौहर और बीवी दोनों दो रकात नमाज़-ए-शुक्र अदा करें, ताकि अल्लाह का शुक्र अदा किया जा सके और शादी में बरकत हासिल हो।

📌 अगर दुल्हन नापाक (हैज़ या निफ़ास) की हालत में हो, तो उसे नमाज़ अदा नहीं करनी चाहिए, सिर्फ़ दूल्हा ही नमाज़ पढ़े।

📖 हदीस का हवाला:
एक शख्स ने हज़रत अब्दुल्लाह बिन मसऊद (रज़ि.) से कहा:
"मैंने एक लड़की से निकाह किया है और मुझे डर है कि वह मुझे पसंद ना करे।"
हज़रत अब्दुल्लाह बिन मसऊद (रज़ि.) ने फ़रमाया:
"शौहर और बीवी के दरमियान मुहब्बत अल्लाह की तरफ़ से आती है, और नफ़रत और जुदाई शैतान की तरफ़ से होती है। जब तुम अपनी बीवी के पास जाओ, तो उससे कहो कि वह तुम्हारे पीछे नमाज़ अदा करे।"
📚 (मुसन्नफ़ इब्न अबी शैबा, 17769)


2️⃣ शादी की रात नमाज़ कैसे अदा करें?

जवाब:
शौहर और बीवी दोनों वुज़ू करें।
दो रकात नमाज़-ए-शुक्र अदा करें।

اللهم بارك لي في أهلي وبارك لهم في
اللهم ارزقها مني وارزقني منها
اللهم اجمع بيننا كما جمعت
وفرق بيننا إذا فرقت في خير

हिन्दी तर्जुमा:
"ऐ अल्लाह! मेरे लिए मेरी बीवी में बरकत दे और मेरी बीवी के लिए मुझमें बरकत दे। ऐ अल्लाह! हमें नेक रिज़्क़ अता फरमा और हमें भलाई के साथ जोड़ दे और अगर जुदा करना हो तो भलाई के साथ जुदा कर।"


3️⃣ जब पहली बार बीवी से मुलाक़ात करें तो क्या करें?

जवाब: जब शौहर पहली बार अपनी बीवी से मिले, तो उसके माथे और बालों पर अपना दायाँ हाथ रखें और यह दुआ पढ़ें:

📖 बीवी के लिए दुआ:
اللهم إني أسألك خيرها وخير ما جبلتها عليه
وأعوذ بك من شرها وشر ما جبلتها عليه

हिन्दी तर्जुमा:
"ऐ अल्लाह! मैं तुझसे इसकी भलाई और जिस फितरत पर तूने इसे पैदा किया है उसकी भलाई मांगता हूँ। और मैं तुझसे इसकी बुराई और जिस फितरत पर तूने इसे पैदा किया है, उसकी बुराई से पनाह मांगता हूँ।"
📚 (सुनन अबू दाऊद, 2160; इब्न माजा, 1918)

🔹 इस दुआ की फ़ज़ीलत: उलमा फ़रमाते हैं कि इस दुआ की बरकत से अल्लाह शौहर और बीवी के दरमियान मोहब्बत और हमआहंगी क़ायम करेगा, और अगर किसी में कोई बुराई होगी तो अल्लाह उसे दूर करके उसमें भलाई पैदा कर देगा।


4️⃣ शादीशुदा ज़िंदगी में निकटता (इंतिहा) से पहले कौन सी दुआ पढ़नी चाहिए?

जवाब: बीवी के क़रीब जाने से पहले यह दुआ पढ़नी चाहिए, ताकि शैतान के असर से बचा जा सके:

📖 निकटता से पहले की दुआ:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ، اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا

हिन्दी तर्जुमा:
"अल्लाह के नाम से! ऐ अल्लाह! हमें शैतान से महफूज़ रख और हमें जो औलाद दे, उसे भी शैतान से बचा।"
📚 (सहीह बुखारी, 141; सहीह मुस्लिम, 1434)

🔹 इस दुआ की फ़ज़ीलत: रसूलुल्लाह (ﷺ) ने फ़रमाया, “अगर इस अमल से औलाद पैदा हो, तो शैतान उसका कुछ नहीं बिगाड़ सकेगा।”


5️⃣ शादीशुदा ज़िंदगी में सुन्नत पर अमल करने के क्या फायदे हैं?

जवाब:
शौहर और बीवी के दरमियान मोहब्बत बढ़ती है
रिश्ते में बरकत और सुकून आता है
शैतान के असर से हिफ़ाज़त होती है
सुन्नत के मुताबिक़ शादीशुदा ज़िंदगी गुजारने की तरबियत मिलती है

📖 हदीस का हवाला:
रसूलुल्लाह (ﷺ) ने फ़रमाया:
"तुममें से सबसे बेहतर वो है जो अपनी बीवी के साथ अच्छा सुलूक करे।"
📚 (सुनन इब्न माजा, 1978; सहीह तिर्मिज़ी, 1162)

Answer:

📚 (Sahih Muslim, 881)


3️⃣ Is it mandatory to pray Sunnah after Jumu'ah?

Answer: Sunnah Mu’akkadah is highly recommended and should not be skipped without a valid reason. While not obligatory like Fardh, abandoning them regularly is discouraged and can be sinful. Some scholars even state that consistently neglecting Sunnah Mu’akkadah is close to Haram.

📖 Hadith Reference:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"Do not make your homes graveyards. Indeed, Satan flees from a house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited. Pray some of your prayers in your homes and do not abandon Sunnah prayers."

4️⃣ What is the best way to perform Sunnah after Jumu'ah?

Answer: The best practice is:
Pray 4 Rak'ahs of Sunnah Mu’akkadah first
Then pray 2 Rak'ahs of Sunnah Ghair Mu’akkadah

This ensures that all Hadith narrations regarding Sunnah after Jumu'ah are followed.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"Whoever among you wants to pray after Jumu'ah, let him pray four Rak'ahs."

5️⃣ What happens if someone habitually skips Sunnah Mu’akkadah?

Answer: According to Islamic teachings:

  • Skipping without a valid reason once makes a person blameworthy.
  • Regularly neglecting them makes a person Fasiq (a sinner), whose testimony may not be accepted in legal matters.
  • Some scholars state that abandoning Sunnah Mu’akkadah may deprive a person of the Prophet’s intercession on the Day of Judgment.

📖 Hadith Reference:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"Whoever abandons my Sunnah, he is not from me."
📚 (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10; Sahih Al-Bukhari, 6780)


6️⃣ How many Sunnah Rak’ahs should be prayed daily?

Answer: Apart from Jumu'ah, the daily Sunnah prayers include:

  • 2 Rak'ahs before Fajr
  • 4 Rak'ahs before Zuhr, 2 after
  • 2 Rak'ahs after Maghrib
  • 2 Rak'ahs after Isha
  • On Jumu'ah day, 4 before and 4 after Jumu'ah prayer

📖 Hadith Reference:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"A house will be built in Paradise for every Muslim who prays 12 Rak'ahs voluntarily every day and night, apart from the obligatory prayers."
📚 (Sahih Muslim, 728; Jami' at-Tirmidhi, 415)


7️⃣ Where is this ruling mentioned in Islamic books?

Answer: The ruling on Sunnah Rak'ahs after Jumu'ah is found in:
📖 Fatawa Razaviya Jadeed (Vol. 8, Page 326)
📖 Bahar-e-Shariat (Vol. 4, Sunan-ul-Nawafil, Masa'il-e-Fiqh)
📖 Fathullah Al-Mu'in, Nahr, Uyun, Tajnees, and Jawahir-ul-Akhlati

📖 Hadith Reference:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"The most beloved acts to Allah are those performed consistently, even if they are small."
📚 (Sahih Bukhari, 6465; Sahih Muslim, 782)


8️⃣ Is there any harm in praying extra Nafl Rak'ahs after Jumu'ah?

Answer: No, there is no harm in offering additional 2 Rak'ahs of Nafl after Jumu'ah. It is optional but highly rewarding.

📖 Hadith Reference:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"A servant is closest to his Lord while in prostration, so increase your supplications."
📚 (Sahih Muslim, 482; Jami' at-Tirmidhi, 3579)

Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ) know best. May Allah guide us to follow the Sunnah, act upon the truth, and convey it to others.
