PENJELASAN NIAT PUASA RAMADHAN ( Niat langsung 1 bulan, Niat Pakai Bahasa Indonesia ) - Buya Yahya

Summary

This video provides an in-depth explanation of the proper way to make a niat (intention) for fasting in Islam, particularly focusing on Ramadan. The speaker clarifies that the niat for mandatory fasting should be made before dawn, ideally the night before, and it can be as simple as intending it in the heart. For voluntary fasting, the niat can be made later, as long as the person hasn’t eaten. The video also covers different interpretations across Islamic schools of thought and offers practical advice on how to make the niat easily and sincerely, ensuring a valid fast.

Takeaways

• 😀 The niat (intention) for fasting must be made before dawn (fajar) for obligatory fasts, such as during Ramadan.
• 😀 Maghrib marks the beginning of the next day in Islamic timekeeping, meaning if you break your fast at maghrib, it marks the start of your niat for the following day's fast.
• 😀 For obligatory fasts (like Ramadan), the niat must be made during the night, starting from maghrib and before the dawn of the next day.
• 😀 For sunnah (voluntary) fasting, niat can be made anytime during the day, as long as it is before the sun reaches its zenith (high noon).
• 😀 If you forget to make niat before dawn for an obligatory fast, your fast is considered invalid according to the mazhab (school of thought) of Imam Shafi'i and others.
• 😀 You can make niat for the entire month of Ramadan in one go, at the beginning of the month, and it is considered valid for the whole month.
• 😀 For sunnah fasting, it is possible to combine niat for multiple types of fasts (e.g., fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, or combining a sunnah fast with a specific day like Arafah).
• 😀 For obligatory fasts, niat cannot be combined with other types of fasts (e.g., qada or nazar) and must be done separately for each obligation.
• 😀 If you forget to make niat for fasting at night, you can follow the mazhab of Imam Malik and rely on the niat you made for the whole month of Ramadan.
• 😀 In any case, the key to a valid fast is sincerity and awareness in the heart, making niat a simple and straightforward act, whether silently or expressed verbally.

Q & A

What is the main requirement for niat (intention) when fasting during Ramadan?

The main requirement for niat during Ramadan is that it must be made before dawn (fajr). The intention can be made anytime from maghrib (sunset) until fajr.

Can niat for fasting be made after maghrib?

Yes, niat can be made after maghrib, as the time for the niat extends from maghrib until fajr. This is a common practice for those fasting during Ramadan.

How can one make niat if they fear forgetting it?

If someone fears forgetting to make niat, they can intend to fast in their heart during maghrib prayer, even while performing other activities. This is valid and considered sah (correct).

Is it necessary to verbally say the niat for fasting?

No, it is not mandatory to verbally say the niat for fasting. It can be made with just the intention in the heart, though verbalizing it is recommended to ensure clarity.

Can you combine niat for multiple types of fasting, such as Ramadan and other sunah fasts, in one intention?

For sunah fasts, you can combine niat for multiple types of fasting, such as fasting on Mondays and Thursdays or fasting during the white days. However, for fardu (obligatory) fasting like Ramadan, the niat must be made specifically for that type of fasting.

What happens if niat for a fardu fast is not made before dawn?

If niat for a fardu fast (such as Ramadan) is not made before dawn, the fast is considered invalid in the majority of Islamic schools of thought, including the Syafi'i, Maliki, and Hambali schools.

Can niat for fasting be done on behalf of others, like for a sick person or a deceased one?

The script does not mention niat on behalf of others explicitly, but it is generally accepted in Islamic practice that one can make niat for others in certain circumstances, such as fasting for a deceased relative (like fidyah).

What is the difference between niat for sunah fasts and fardu fasts?

For sunah fasts, niat can be made later, even after fajr, as long as it’s before the time when the fast is invalidated. For fardu fasts, the niat must be made before fajr and cannot be combined with other intentions.

How does the intention of fasting (niat) work for someone who forgets to make it during the night?

In the Maliki school of thought, if someone forgets to make niat during the night, they can still make it the next morning before fajr, as long as they have the intention to fast for the entire month of Ramadan.

Can a person still fast if they forget to make the niat for a specific day of Ramadan?

If a person forgets to make niat for a specific day of Ramadan but has already intended to fast for the entire month, they can continue fasting based on that general niat, according to the Maliki school of thought.
