Takeaways

• 😀 Ramadan fasting may be interrupted for women due to menstruation, but there are alternative acts of worship to continue receiving reward.
• 😀 Women can perform activities like studying, remembering Allah (dhikr), or listening to Quranic recitations to gain rewards during their menstrual cycle.
• 😀 Engaging in useful activities, such as cleaning the house or helping parents, can also be considered acts of worship and earn rewards.
• 😀 If a woman is unable to fast due to menstruation, her worship is not diminished. She can still earn rewards by performing other good deeds with the intention of worship.
• 😀 Women should not feel that missing fasting or Tarawih prayers reduces their rewards in Ramadan, as Allah grants ease through exceptions like menstruation.
• 😀 Watching mukbang videos during fasting is discouraged as it may provoke hunger and undermine the purpose of fasting. It is better to watch beneficial content such as motivational or educational videos.
• 😀 Puasa (fasting) and Salat (prayer) are independent acts of worship; missing one does not invalidate the other, but neglecting Salat while fasting can reduce the reward of fasting.
• 😀 If a person misses fasting or prayers due to work or distractions, it’s crucial to balance these acts of worship to ensure full spiritual benefit.
• 😀 It is important to stop eating or drinking immediately at the time of Azan (call to prayer) for Subuh (dawn). Imsak, a few minutes before Subuh, is the reminder to prepare for fasting.
• 😀 If someone has unperformed fasts from previous years, they can make up for them by fasting on Mondays and Thursdays throughout the year. Fidya (compensation by feeding the poor) is an alternative for those who are physically unable to fast.

Q & A

What should women do during menstruation while fasting in Ramadan if they cannot perform fasting or Taraweeh prayers?

Women who are menstruating during Ramadan can engage in other acts of worship, such as learning, making Dhikr (remembrance of Allah), watching beneficial YouTube videos like Islamic lectures, or listening to the Qur'an. These activities can be counted as acts of worship, ensuring they still gain rewards.

How can women maintain their spiritual rewards during menstruation in Ramadan?

Women can maintain their rewards during menstruation by intending their actions as acts of worship. Tasks such as cleaning, helping their parents, or engaging in Dhikr are all valuable acts of worship that can carry the same rewards as fasting and performing Taraweeh prayers.

What is the significance of using time during menstruation for beneficial activities?

During menstruation, it is important to avoid wasting time on non-beneficial activities like scrolling through social media. Instead, women can utilize their time for activities like listening to the Qur'an or performing Dhikr, which are spiritually enriching and rewarding.

Is it permissible to watch mukbang videos while fasting?

Watching mukbang videos while fasting is not recommended, as it can trigger hunger and may weaken one's resolve to fast. It is better to watch educational or motivational content, or Islamic lectures, which are more beneficial and do not disrupt the fasting experience.

Can watching mukbang videos for cooking inspiration affect the fasting reward?

Watching mukbang videos specifically for learning cooking recipes does not affect the validity of the fast. However, watching for entertainment may reduce the spiritual benefits of fasting.

When does the time for Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) end during Ramadan?

The time for Suhoor ends with the call to Fajr (the dawn prayer). The Imsak time, which is about 10 minutes before Fajr, serves as a reminder to stop eating and drinking to ensure the fast is valid.

How should women make up for missed fasts due to menstruation or other reasons?

Missed fasts can be made up (Qada) on any day outside Ramadan. It is recommended to do so on Mondays and Thursdays, or any other time, using voluntary fasts like fasting on Mondays and Thursdays to gradually complete the missed days.

What should be done if someone missed fasting in previous years but has not yet made up for it?

If someone has not yet made up missed fasts, they can gradually make them up by fasting voluntary fasts, such as those on Mondays and Thursdays. This is the best way to compensate for the missed fasts without relying on paying Fidya (compensation).

Is it permissible to brush teeth or gargle during fasting?

Brushing teeth or gargling is permissible, but care must be taken not to swallow anything. It is recommended to do this either before Fajr or after Iftar, using a dry miswak or a toothbrush without toothpaste to avoid accidentally swallowing anything.

What is the ruling on not praying while fasting?

While fasting does not invalidate prayers, it is crucial to maintain the obligatory prayers. Fasting and praying are both acts of worship that should be done together. Neglecting one may diminish the reward of the other, as both are necessary for a complete spiritual practice.
