Since many sisters have already begun to ask us questions regarding the specifics of fasting for women, we decided to devote a separate section to answers to the most common questions from women regarding obligatory fasting.
Does a woman fast during haida and nifas (menstrual and postpartum bleeding)?
No, this is not allowed. If a woman fasts during such conditions, she will be sinned.
Should a woman make up for the days of fasting missed for such reasons?
Yes, in a hadith narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), it is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that women do not need to make up prayers missed during menstruation, but they need to make up fasts missed for this reason (And 'Laus-Sunan, vol. 1, p. 372).
I don’t want to break my fast because of my period. Is it possible to take special hormonal drugs that delay the advance monthly cycle to fast throughout Ramadan without interruption?
This is acceptable, but is considered undesirable. Taking these medications may have side effects, as a shift in the cycle, which can lead to problems with performing namaz (or performing Hajj and Umrah) in the future. Moreover, these drugs are not harmless from a medical point of view.
I would like to clarify the issue of fasting for pregnant and lactating women. Can they postpone the fast until another time if they feel it will harm their health?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a trusted doctor (preferably a Muslim) to determine whether fasting will harm them and their baby. It must be borne in mind that if a woman fasts in this state, and it later turns out that her health or the health of her child has worsened due to fasting, she will be sinned.
Is it possible to breastfeed a baby while fasting?
Yes, this is permitted; breastfeeding does not affect the validity of the fast. However, see above - you need to try so that this does not harm the condition of the woman or child.
Can a woman visit a gynecologist or use medicines, which are administered through intimate organs (suppositories and the like)?
Traditionally, Islamic scholars believed that inserting medicine or an instrument soaked in medicine into the private parts broke the fast, since the private parts were believed to be associated with digestive system. However, since modern medicine established that there is no such connection between these organs, Islamic scholars decided that visiting a doctor or injecting medications into intimate organs does not break fasting.
If a woman gets her period while fasting, can she eat? Or, conversely, what should she do if her period stops during the day of fasting? Will her post be valid in this case?
If she gets her period while fasting, she can eat, but she must try to do it in such a way that people who are fasting do not see it. She will need to make up this day of fasting after Ramadan (even if her period started a few minutes before Iftar).
At all, considered undesirable (makrooh) to be seen by those who are fasting, even to those people who do not fast for some valid reason (pregnant women, women during Haida, travelers).
If, on the other hand, a woman's period ends during daylight hours (when fasting is obligatory), she should fast until the end of the day out of respect for Ramadan, although this day will still need to be replenished afterwards.
Is it possible for a woman traveling to postpone her fast to another time?
According to the Hanafi madhhab, the reduction of 4 rak'ah prayers to two rak'ahs, as well as the possibility of postponing the fast to another time if it is difficult to keep it on the road, applies to all travelers without exception, regardless of whether the journey is permissible or forbidden.
So a woman who goes out on safar can postpone the fast for another time if it is difficult for her to keep it on the road.
During fasting, a woman prepares food for her family; is she allowed to taste the food, for example, for salt?
This is permissible if the woman prepares the food and there is no one else to taste it except herself (this can be done, for example, by a woman who is not fasting due to being in a state of Haida). A woman is allowed to chew food and then give it to the child.
If a woman has a husband who is very picky about food and has a difficult character, it is not makrooh for her to taste the food to check if there is enough salt. If the husband does not have bad character and being picky about food, you shouldn’t taste what you cook.
Muslima (Anya) Kobulova

Brown discharge that appears before menstruation
Question: I have an IUD, which is why I get out before my period starts. brown discharge. Does this break the fast and can I make up the missed days of fasting on these days? I really need your advice, may Allah reward you for it.
Answer: Praise be to Allah.
Sheikh Muhammadibn Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “If this brown discharge precedes menstruation, then it is considered menstruation. You know that it means the beginning of regular discharge if it is accompanied by pain and cramping. And if this brown discharge comes after menstruation, then the woman should wait until it ends because this brown discharge after menstruation is also menstrual based on the words of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): “Take your time until you see white discharge.”
(Risaalat ad-Dima" al-Tabi"iyyah, 59).
According to this, if you think that this brownish discharge is a sign of the onset of menstruation, then this is menstruation, and you should stop fasting and praying, and also make up the missed days of fasting after the end of menstruation.
Rule that applies to brown discharge that appears after the end of menstruation
Question: Every month of Ramadan I have to face the same problem. When my period ends, on the seventh day, I wash myself to begin fasting and praying, and I again come out with brown liquid. I read in your answers that you can start praying, but can I keep the fast in this state and should I do wudu? I asked many people, but everyone gives different answers. I ask you to help me resolve my doubts. Should I fast and pray or should I make up the missed days after? Is there any special dua that a woman must say to become clean again after taking a bath? I know what they say to nauaytu taharatul haidi. Is this enough?
Answer: Praise be to Allah.
Firstly: If a woman has a regular cycle and this discharge appears at the end of it, then it is not part of it, but is called istihaada (non-menstrual bleeding or metrorrhagia), so you should ignore it and perform wudu before every prayer, and also fast.
If a woman sees that she has already been cleansed, that is, if she saw white discharge, which means the end of menstruation, and this brown discharge appears later, there is also no need to pay attention to it, as in the first case. If this happens during the period itself, then they are part of it, so she should not pray or fast.
Secondly: There is no special dua that a woman must pronounce in order to cleanse herself and end her period. See question number 12897.
Third: The place where intention is located is the heart; it is not allowed to say it out loud. Therefore, it is not correct to say out loud: I intend to do such and such, since the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not do this. The best path is his path, and any other varieties are an innovation (bid'a) and as such are a deviation from straight path. See question number 13337.
Sheikh Muhammad Salih al-Munajid
There are no similar entries.
The ninth month of the Muslim calendar, Ramadan is one of the four holy months of the year. At this time, men and women keep a strict fast of Uraz, which is one of the main pillars of Islam. The main specificity of this fast is that the quantitative composition of food is not regulated - everything is allowed to eat, and important role Only meal times play a role. Let's figure out how a woman needs to keep the Uraza correctly so that long-term abstinence will benefit the body. Indeed, in addition to spiritual cleansing, Muslims fast to improve the health of the body.
Why keep Uraza in the month of Ramadan?
Fasting on Uraza helps atone for sins that were committed during the year. Ramadan is 30 or 29 days (depending on lunar month) strict fasting. During this period, Muslims should set aside time for donations, alms, reflection, contemplation and all kinds of good deeds. However, the main task of every believer is not to drink water or eat food from dawn to dusk. Unlike the Orthodox fast (Uspensky or Great), during which it is forbidden to eat meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, during Uraza it is allowed to eat any food in moderation.
The main activity of Muslims during Ramadan is prayer. Before sunrise, each believer makes a niyat (intention) to observe the Uraz, and then eats food 30 minutes before dawn and prays. Prayers during the holy month are held in mosques, where Muslims come with their children or at home with relatives and neighbors. If a believer is in other latitudes during the month of Ramadan, then, according to the Hanafi madhhab (teaching), he reads the obligatory morning prayer according to Meccan time.
How to keep a cheer for a woman
During Uraza, Muslim women, like men, are prohibited intimate life during daylight hours, and some especially believers prefer complete abstinence from sexual contact throughout the thirty-day fast. According to tradition, after sunset, believers gather large families to enjoy the food after a day of fasting. Women prepare food during the day, so they are allowed to taste the food as it cooks. This is strictly prohibited for men.
How to eat properly
In the first days of Ramadan, you have to fast for about 20 hours, so imams (Muslim priests) advise eating foods with a lot of fiber: oats, millet, barley, lentils, brown rice, wholemeal flour, millet, legumes. The morning menu of a Muslim woman must necessarily consist of fruits, berries, vegetables, meat, fish, bread and dairy products.
It’s better not to complicate your menu with culinary delights during Ramadan, but to give preference to light salads seasoned with yogurt or vegetable oil. Such food does not irritate the stomach, improving digestion. To make it easier to fast, broths made from lean beef, chicken, lean fish or vegetables are useful. During Ramadan, women should refrain from fried foods, completely replacing them with steamed or stewed foods. During the cooking process you need to dose following products stimulating the production of hydrochloric acid irritating the stomach wall:
- spices;
- garlic;
- caraway;
- cilantro;
- mustard.
For dinner, Muslims are advised to cook low calorie dishes and don't get too carried away with meat. During the day during Uraza it is forbidden to drink water, but after sunset it is advisable to drink 2 to 3 liters of water to replenish the water balance. Nutritionists, while observing Uraza, call for the exclusion of carbonated drinks, replacing them with natural juices, mineral water, herbal teas.
Prayer
Obligatory prayer For all Muslims who observe Uraza, the Tarawih prayer is performed. Her time begins after the night Isha prayer and ends shortly before dawn. It is better to read Namaz Tarawih together with other believers, but if this is not possible, then it is permissible to read the prayer individually. In general, Islam is a religion that welcomes attendance at collective prayers, and the mosque promotes communication when joint prayers are performed that praise Allah and the Prophet Muhammad while reading the Koran.
What not to do - prohibitions
Prohibitions during the Uraza period are divided into strict and undesirable. Strict prohibitions refer to actions that violate fasting and require mandatory compensation for one day of Ramadan for 60 days of continuous fasting at any other time. These include: deliberate eating, vomiting and sexual intercourse. Also, during Uraza you cannot take medicines, capsules, tablets, give injections, drink alcohol or smoke. Undesirable actions in Ramadan that require only replenishment (1 day of fasting per violation) include:
- Eating out of forgetfulness.
- Involuntary vomiting.
- Swallowing anything that is not medicine or food.
- Touching the husband, kissing that does not lead to sexual intercourse.
At what age do girls start fasting?
A girl begins to fast from the age of majority. A Muslim child reaches puberty when he reaches 15 years of age. Girls are allowed to fast earlier if they are menstruating or eating own wish. If all of the above signs are absent, then according to Muslim customs the girl should not fast.
It is now difficult to overestimate the importance of a 30-day fast for human health. Even science has proven that by fasting, the human body is cleansed of excess weight, salts, bile, under-oxidized metabolic products, breathing is normalized. The experience of centuries shows that Uraza is the most effective method get rid of different chronic diseases: allergies, stones gallbladder, osteochondrosis and migraine. During fasting, defense mechanisms increase, stimulation the immune system, the aging process is delayed.
Beginners need to know that during this month all sorts of excesses are excluded, and there are special rules for the intake of food and liquids. Immediately after sunset, the fasting person eats only light food, and a couple of hours before dawn - a dense meal. Such food is considered godly, and therefore serves for the forgiveness of sins. At the evening meal, it is advisable that a mullah or a person who knows the Koran well be present; he will read surahs and talk about the deeds of God. Small talk is not prohibited during the evening breaking of the fast.
Is it possible for pregnant and lactating women to fast?
Women in postpartum period or during menstruation they do not observe Uraza - this is confirmed by the corresponding Sunnahs. As for pregnant and nursing mothers, they can completely or selectively refuse fasting at their own discretion, especially if they are afraid for their health or that of their child. As for making up for a missed post, the woman makes this decision on her own.
Without complete ablution
Sometimes, for some independent reason, a woman does not have a complete ablution, and the fast has already begun. For example, menstruation ended at night or occurred marital intimacy, or the spouses overslept morning reception food. This should not bother a woman in any way, because complete ablution and observance of the Uraza are in no way interconnected with each other. Ritual purity is needed only for performing namaz.
When do you get your period?
According to the rules of Islam, during menstruation, Uraza must be interrupted in any case, regardless of marital status and age. Prayers and namaz are not performed, since the woman does not have ritual purity. According to the rules, the missed days of fasting at the end of Ramadan must be made up one to one in a row or in a breakdown at the discretion of the Muslim woman. But the woman does not make up for missed prayers.
What to do if it’s hard to keep Uraza in the heat
When the month of Ramadan falls in the summer heat, it is very difficult for Muslims to keep Uraz, because on hot days thirst increases, and refusal of water can negatively affect human health. Moreover, during a 30-day fast, it is forbidden not only to drink, but even to rinse your mouth, because drops of water can get into the stomach. In this case, Islam gives some concessions for pregnant women, children, travelers, the elderly and seriously ill people.
Fast one day or with breaks every other day
If a Muslim woman is found serious illnesses, For example, diabetes, pancreatitis and others, then she can keep Uraza not every day, but every other day. Fasting is not so much abstinence from food and water as it is the promotion of spiritual growth and purification of thoughts. But if a woman can keep Uraza with such diseases, then she should eat fresh raw vegetables, fruits, nuts, not overeat, and not throw on food at the holiday of breaking the fast of Eid al-Fitr, when Ramadan ends.
Video
When a woman holds Uraza for the first time, long before the onset of Ramadan she needs to prepare herself for the fact that this is not a hunger strike, but a great joyful holiday, so that there is a feeling of a cheerful event. It should be remembered that the fasting person receives a reward, which during Ramadan multiplies all the good deeds of a person. And for violating Uraza without a good reason, a Muslim woman will have to pay the needy a certain amount and make up for the missed day with any day of fasting. Watch the video for advice for women starting to keep the Uraz:
