How to make up missed fast

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Q-1: If one is allowed to take bath after 12.00 noon while fasting.

There is absolutely no restriction in Shariah regarding the believers who are fasting taking a bath at any time of the day or night. One is at absolute liberty to take a bath whenever one wills and pleases, at any time of the day or night, regardless of whether one is observing a fast or not.

 

Q-2: If one can sleep after asar namaz while fasting.

Abu Barza related that the Prophet (saws) loved to delay the night (Isha) prayer, and he (saws) hated sleeping before it and talking or discussions after it."

Related by Bukhari and Muslim.

 

The Messenger of Allah (saws) discouraged and forbade the believers to choose to sleep between the ‘magrib’ and ‘isha’ prayers; but to the best of our humble knowledge there is no restriction in Shariah if one wishes to sleep between ‘asr’ and ‘magrib’ times (regardless of whether in Ramadan or otherwise and regardless of whether one is observing fasts or not). And Allah Alone Knows Best.

 

Q-3: How can one compensate for kaza roza?

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 185:

185 Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an as a guide to mankind also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong). So everyone of you who is present (or witnesses) the month should spend it in fasting but if anyone is ill or on a journey the prescribed period (should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you He does not want to put you to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful.

 

If one has missed one of their obligatory fasts of Ramadan, one should atone for it by making up the fast on any other day of the year; that should suffice as an atonement and a ‘kaffarah’ for the missed or broken fast of Ramadan.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
