Q & A

What is the definition of fasting (puasa) in Islam?

Fasting (puasa) in Islam is the act of abstaining from eating, drinking, and engaging in actions that invalidate or spoil the reward of the fast. This typically lasts from dawn (Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib).

What are some actions that can break the fast?

Actions that can break the fast include intentionally eating or drinking, apostasy (leaving Islam), and engaging in any act that invalidates or damages the fast.

What is the significance of the intention (niat) behind fasting?

The intention (niat) behind fasting is crucial because without it, the fast will not be valid. The niat should be made before the fast begins, particularly before dawn or at the start of the fasting period.

What are five actions that can spoil the reward of fasting?

The five actions that can spoil the reward of fasting are: 1) Lying (Al-Kadhib), 2) Causing division (Adu Domba or An-Namima), 3) Gossiping (Ghibah), 4) False oaths (Al-Yamin Al-Kabih), and 5) Lustful looking (Syahwat).

What does 'lying' (Al-Kadhib) during fasting refer to?

Lying during fasting refers to any form of dishonesty, such as lying to others, whether it is about someone else or an event. Lying undermines the reward of the fast.

What is 'Adu Domba' or 'An-Namima' and why is it harmful to fasting?

'Adu Domba' or 'An-Namima' refers to causing division or stirring up conflict between people. This can be done through words or actions, including on social media. It is harmful to fasting because it disturbs peace and damages the reward of the fast.

How does gossiping (Ghibah) affect the reward of fasting?

Gossiping (Ghibah) involves speaking ill of someone behind their back. Engaging in gossip not only harms the person being talked about but also diminishes the reward of the person doing the gossiping and the one listening to it.

What does 'false oaths' (Al-Yamin Al-Kabih) mean in the context of fasting?

False oaths involve making promises or vows that are not kept or swearing falsely to deceive others. This is detrimental to the fast because it involves dishonesty and disrespect.

Why is lustful looking (Syahwat) considered damaging to the fast?

Lustful looking (Syahwat) refers to looking at something with sexual desire or attraction, which can arouse improper thoughts. It is harmful to fasting as it distracts from the spiritual purity required during the fast.

How can someone ensure that their fast is valid and rewarded?

To ensure a valid and rewarded fast, one must avoid actions that break the fast, like eating or drinking intentionally. Additionally, they should refrain from actions that spoil the reward, such as lying, gossiping, or making false oaths. It is also essential to make a sincere intention (niat) for fasting.
