Takeaways

• 😀 Fasting is about abstaining from actions that break the fast, such as ingesting something into the body through an open cavity.
• 😀 Even if it's a small amount of food, like a single grain of rice, consuming it will invalidate the fast if it enters an open cavity of the body.
• 😀 Smoking cigarettes invalidates the fast because they contain substances that are absorbed into the body when inhaled, even if exhaled afterward.
• 😀 Taking certain medicines, such as inhaling or spraying nasal medications, can invalidate the fast if these substances enter the body.
• 😀 People who are sick are not committing a sin by breaking their fast, as their condition allows for exceptions. They can make up the fast later.
• 😀 Brushing teeth with toothpaste can invalidate the fast if the toothpaste is swallowed or mixes with saliva, but brushing itself doesn't break the fast.
• 😀 Rinsing the mouth is allowed during fasting, but if the water or liquid is swallowed, it could invalidate the fast. It’s safe to rinse within the limits of normal practice.
• 😀 Donating blood or cupping (hijama) does not break the fast, but it is discouraged as it may weaken the body during fasting.
• 😀 Injecting substances like infusions that provide nourishment breaks the fast because they enter the body and provide sustenance.
• 😀 Activities like lying or gossiping, false swearing, and looking at others with lust can break the spiritual reward of fasting, even if the fast remains physically valid.

Q & A

What is the main point of fasting according to the script?

The main point of fasting is to restrain oneself from specific actions, especially things that can invalidate the fast, such as ingesting anything through an open body cavity.

Does eating a small amount, such as a single grain of rice, break the fast?

No, eating a small amount like a single grain of rice does not invalidate the fast as long as it doesn’t enter the body in a way that affects the fasting process.

Why does smoking break the fast?

Smoking breaks the fast because it introduces substances into the body through an open cavity, and the substance in the smoke has a tangible presence, which invalidates the fast.

What happens if someone uses a nasal spray while fasting?

Using a nasal spray may break the fast because the substance enters the body through an open cavity, thus invalidating the fast.

Does brushing your teeth with toothpaste invalidate the fast?

Brushing your teeth with toothpaste could invalidate the fast if the toothpaste mixes with saliva and is swallowed, as the foreign substance entering the body would break the fast.

Does rinsing the mouth while fasting break the fast?

Rinsing the mouth does not break the fast unless the water or substance is swallowed. It is important not to overdo it during the rinse to avoid swallowing unintentionally.

Does donating blood during fasting invalidate the fast?

Donating blood does not invalidate the fast as it involves something leaving the body, not entering it. However, it is considered makruh (disliked) because it may weaken the body.

Does receiving an injection break the fast?

The effect of an injection on fasting depends on what is injected. An injection that introduces something into the body, like an infusion that nourishes, would break the fast. However, injections that don't provide nourishment, such as a simple medical injection, might not invalidate the fast.

What are the actions that could invalidate the reward (but not the validity) of fasting?

Actions that could invalidate the reward of fasting include lying, gossiping, spreading discord, making false oaths, and looking at others with lustful intentions, even if the person is allowed to be looked at.

What should a person do if they get sick and need medication during fasting?

If a person is sick and needs medication, they may use necessary medicine such as sprays or inhalers. However, the day’s fast would be considered invalid, and they would need to make up for it later with qada (a replacement fast).
