KURMA HARI KE-7: PUASA MAKRUH, JENIS, DAN KETENTUANNYA

Summary

This video discusses the concept of 'Makruh' (discouraged actions) in fasting, as outlined in Islam. It covers various situations when fasting is considered discouraged, such as fasting on Fridays alone, fasting on Saturdays without the preceding Friday or following Sunday, and fasting during the latter part of Sha'ban for those not accustomed to regular fasting. The video also highlights actions nearing prohibition, such as fasting without breaking the fast (wisal), fasting on uncertain days like the 30th of Sha'ban, and a wife fasting without her husband's permission. The importance of adhering to proper guidelines in fasting is emphasized throughout.

Takeaways

• 😀 Fasting on Friday alone is discouraged unless it is part of a broader fasting routine, such as fasting on Thursday and Friday together.
• 😀 Fasting on Saturday alone is also makruh, similar to fasting only on Friday. It is fine if part of a larger fasting plan, like Friday-Sunday fasting.
• 😀 Fasting after the 15th of Sha'ban is makruh for those who do not have a regular fasting habit. For those who regularly fast, it is allowed.
• 😀 For those who have missed obligatory fasts (qada), they should fast before Ramadan to make up for missed days, even if it is after the 15th of Sha'ban.
• 😀 Wisal, or fasting without breaking from dawn to sunset continuously, is discouraged and close to being prohibited.
• 😀 Fasting on the 30th of Sha'ban, when it is uncertain if it is part of Sha'ban or the beginning of Ramadan, is discouraged.
• 😀 Year-round fasting without breaking, such as fasting every day without eating, is considered extremely discouraged and should be avoided.
• 😀 A wife should seek her husband's permission before fasting voluntarily unless it is an obligatory fast (like Ramadan or qada).
• 😀 Fasting specifically on Fridays or Saturdays alone without accompanying fasting days can lead to missing out on the reward intended from regular fasting practices.
• 😀 The practice of fasting should be done with proper consideration, as certain fasts close to Ramadan or without proper context may lead to undesirable consequences in terms of reward and acceptability in Islam.

Q & A

What does 'makruh' mean in the context of fasting?

In the context of fasting, 'makruh' refers to actions that, if done, do not bring rewards but, if avoided, will bring rewards. It is not forbidden, but it is better to avoid it.

What makes fasting on Friday alone (without Thursday or Saturday) 'makruh'?

Fasting on Friday alone is considered 'makruh' because it is an act that is specifically dedicated to Friday, and the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) advised against it unless it is combined with fasting on Thursday or Saturday.

Can fasting on Friday be done without it being 'makruh'?

Yes, fasting on Friday alone is not 'makruh' if it is combined with fasting on Thursday or Saturday. This eliminates the specific focus on just Friday.

Why is fasting on Saturday alone considered 'makruh'?

Fasting on Saturday alone is considered 'makruh' because it is a form of fasting that is not traditionally observed. However, fasting on Saturday is permissible if it is combined with fasting on Friday or Sunday.

What is the significance of fasting during the last part of Sha'ban?

Fasting during the last part of Sha'ban, specifically after the 15th, is 'makruh' because it is seen as an act of fasting without a valid reason. It is permitted only for those who are accustomed to regular fasting like Mondays and Thursdays.

Can someone who regularly fasts do so during the last part of Sha'ban?

Yes, those who are accustomed to fasting, such as fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, can continue their routine fasting even after the 15th of Sha'ban without it being considered 'makruh'.

What is 'puasa wisal' and why is it prohibited?

'Puasa wisal' refers to fasting continuously without breaking the fast, and it is considered prohibited because it goes against the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), who advised against it.

Why is fasting on the 30th of Sha'ban considered 'makruh'?

Fasting on the 30th of Sha'ban is considered 'makruh' because the day is uncertain—it could be the last day of Sha'ban or the first day of Ramadan. The uncertainty makes it inappropriate to fast without a clear purpose.

What is the rule regarding a wife fasting without her husband's permission?

A wife must seek permission from her husband before fasting voluntarily, as it is not permitted to fast without his consent unless it is a mandatory fast like during Ramadan or a Qada fast.

What are the types of fasting that are considered 'makruh' according to the speaker?

The types of fasting considered 'makruh' include fasting on Friday alone, fasting on Saturday alone, fasting during the last part of Sha'ban (if not accustomed to fasting), continuous fasting (puasa wisal), fasting on the 30th of Sha'ban, and a wife fasting without her husband's permission for non-obligatory fasts.
