Answers: 13Subcategories: 2Issues of fasting
What is the ruling on fasting with the intention of fasting both for medical reasons and fasting in the Islamic sense?
1.. There is nothing wrong when fasting as an act of worship for Allah, may He be exalted, with combining that with the intention of attaining the health benefits of fasting, but the one who fasts should make worship his main focus, and not the opposite. 2. Fasting in the sense of refraining from eating food and drinking only water is not regarded as a fast in Islamic terms, and is not regarded as the continual fasting that is not allowed.12,018If he fell asleep before sunset and did not wake up until after dawn on the following day, is his fast on that day valid?

10,701Meaning of ‘Allahumma Inni Saim’
‘Allahumma inni saim’ is what you should say to the one who wants to insult you or fight you: I am fasting, and my fast prevents me from responding to you in kind, because I am guarding my fast against obscene talk or false speech.25,318Ruling on fasting for one who works checking content and erasing indecent scenes
6,702The hadith “If dawn comes when a person is junub, he should not fast”
47,108Is My Fast Valid If I Eat After Fajr Adhan?
If someone is not certain that dawn has broken, then he may eat until he is certain. If he knows that the Mu’adhdhin gives Adhan ahead of time, or he is not sure whether he is giving it on time or ahead of time, then he may eat until he is certain. However, it is safer for him to stop (eating and drinking) as soon as he hears the Adhan.80,449
