During the month of Ramadan, during fasting hours (from dawn to sunset), it is strictly forbidden to have direct sexual intimacy with your wife. From sunset to start time morning prayer spouses can have intimate relationship without any restrictions. If sexual intercourse took place during fasting hours, then the fast will be broken. A person who violates it in this way is obliged to atone for his sin by two months /1/ of continuous fasting /2/. If, due to physical weakness, he is not able to fast for two months in a row, then he must feed sixty poor people /3/, allocating for each the amount that on average he (the one who broke the fast) spends on the daily food of an adult member of his family /4/. As for the question of who is entrusted with this form of atonement for sin - the husband or the wife, all theologians speak about the husband and many about the wife /5/. But Shafi'i theologians, for example, are more inclined to believe that this form of atonement does not concern the wife. She will need to restore only one day of broken fast /6/.
In the case where the spouses committed this out of forgetfulness or ignorance, atonement for the sin is not provided.
If such a (deliberate) violation of fasting occurred multiple times, then the violated sanctity of each of the days of compulsory fasting must be redeemed by the spouses by two months of continuous fasting /7/.

After the month of Ramadan ended, I made up for this day. Was it enough to make up for the broken day or should I fast for two months in a row to atone? A.
Most likely, no, it was not violated, since there was no sexual intercourse (only kisses and hugs), and therefore more like a wet dream, which does not break the fast.

My wife is a Christian, but we got married according to Islamic canons. She respects my religion.

Intimate caresses do not break the fast /17/, but strictly beware of close proximity (sexual intercourse)! /18/
/1/ He will be able to start it only after the end of the month of Ramadan and the holiday of breaking the fast (Eid al-Adha).
/2/ The form of atonement for deliberately broken fasts mentioned here applies only to the month of Ramadan. If the two-month fast is suddenly interrupted, you will have to start all over again. It is important to note that two months of continuous fasting should not fall on holidays (Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Fitr), when fasting is prohibited (haram). Concerning menstrual cycle in women, then these periods are not considered a violation of the continuity of two month's fast. That is, during this period the woman interrupts the post-atonement, and upon completion, continues, taking into account those days that she has already fasted. If a person has made a mistake in counting the days, then he should not resume fasting from the very beginning.
/3/ Theologians of the Hanafi madhhab allowed the possibility of feeding one beggar for two months. Shafi'i theologians considered it appropriate to limit themselves to the text of the hadith, which speaks of feeding "sixty poor people."
/4/ The mentioned difficult form of atonement for sin is provided for by the canons only in the case of breaking the fast by deliberately engaging in sexual intercourse with a wife (husband). See, for example: ‘Ali Jum’a M. Fatawa ‘asriya [Modern fatwas]. In 2 volumes. Cairo: al-Salam, 2010. Vol. 2. P. 71. Some scholars spoke about a similar atonement in case of breaking the fast by deliberately eating and drinking water. However, this theological judgment does not have direct confirmation in the verses and reliable hadiths, and therefore remains a judgment with which one may not agree. See, for example: Az-Zuhayli V. Al-fiqh al-Islami wa adillatuh [Islamic law and its arguments]. In 11 volumes. Damascus: al-Fikr, 1997. Vol. 3. P. 1709. Here it is useful to recall the hadith: “If a believer who did not belong to any of the categories exempt from fasting did not fast on one of the days month of Ramadan, [then let him know that] he cannot make up for this day even with a whole century of fasting. [That is, every day of obligatory fasting is extremely important and valuable. If a person for whom fasting is obligatory ignores this, neglects this form of worship of the Creator, and misses a day, then not a single day of earthly life will be able to compensate for this loss. The scale is huge and unique. Of course, the believer makes up for what he missed in the future, but no other day of the year has any special significance for each day of the month of Ramadan].” Hadith from Abu Hurayrah; St. X. Ahmad, Abu Daud, Ibn Majah and others. See, for example: At-Tirmidhi M. Sunan at-Tirmidhi [Code of hadiths of Imam at-Tirmidhi]. Beirut: Ibn Hazm, 2002. P. 238, Hadith No. 722; Abu Dawud S.

/18/ The atonement for a fast broken in this way is a continuous two-month fast.
Intimate relations between husband and wife, from the point of view of Sharia, are a permissible act. If marital relations serve as a protection against adultery, a huge reward is due for them.
However, the intimate life of spouses is not only joy, but also a huge responsibility.
In some exceptional cases, Islam places restrictions on marital intimacy. One such case is the ban on intimate relations between spouses during the entire daylight hours, when both or one of them is fasting.
From dawn to sunset, it is strictly forbidden to have sexual intercourse with your wife. If sexual intimacy occurs between spouses while fasting, then their fast is broken.
However, there are no restrictions on this at night. From sunset until dawn, spouses can have intimate relations without any restrictions. Allah Almighty said in the Quran:
أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَىٰ نِسَائِكُمْ ۚ هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَهُنَّ
« You are allowed to approach your wives intimately on any night of fasting. They are a garment for you, and you (O husbands) are a garment for them (husband and wife need each other, just as a man needs clothing) " (Surah Al-Baqarah: 187)
With this verse, Allah Almighty permitted sexual intercourse, eating and drinking throughout the night and showed mercy to people.
However, during fasting, it is advisable for spouses to stop intimate relationships, as well as eating, in advance of dawn, so as not to fall into doubt. Moreover, it will be better if they have time to perform a complete ablution before the time begins. morning prayer, because when swimming in fasting there is a risk of water getting into the ears and other natural openings on the body.
If, nevertheless, dawn found the spouses having sexual intercourse, they must immediately interrupt intercourse, then perform the obligatory complete ablution and fast. In this case, their post will be valid. There is no need to pay a fine or reimbursement for this day of fasting.
If the spouses hesitate and do not interrupt sexual intercourse at the same moment, then their fast is considered broken. But, despite this, they are both charged with the duty to avoid everything that breaks the fast throughout the daylight hours.
It is worth noting that fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam, for violation of which Islam provides for fairly strict sanctions. And whoever breaks the fast in the month of Ramadan by sexual intercourse is entitled to atonement (kaffarata) to fast for two months in a row.
Kaffarat is imposed on a man who at will, being an adult and conscientious, during the fasting month of Ramadan, broke his fast through sexual intercourse, without good reason, and is a representative of the category of people on whom fasting is entrusted.
Sexual intercourse is considered valid if the sexual organ or anus of a person or animal, the part of the penis that is exposed during circumcision enters.
Kaffarat is imposed only on the one who committed sexual intercourse, but not on the one with whom it was committed. If you make love several times in one day, kaffarat is imposed only once.
In this case, kaffarat is equal to the liberation of the slave, and if there is no slave, then you need to fast for two months in a row; if you miss at least one day, then the countdown begins again. Even if you miss the post on the last day; forget about the intention at least for one day; If you miss it due to illness or while on the road, you still need to start counting the time again.
For this post ( post of kaffarat), as for everyone mandatory posts, you need to make an intention on the eve of each day and at the same time emphasize that this fast is kaffarat, but you don’t need to say that you fast in a row. Both months are counted according to lunar calendar.
If a person cannot fast (due to health reasons) for two months in a row, then he needs to feed sixty poor or needy people. Health condition refers to the inability to fast or the inability to fast for two consecutive months at any time of the year.
And those sixty poor people who need to be fed should belong to the category of people who deserve zakat. They need to be given one muddu of the most common product in the area.
As for other relationships between spouses: kisses, hugs, caresses, etc., then if the husband is sure that, for example, by kissing his wife, he will not become aroused and will not break the fast (by sexual intercourse, ejaculation, etc.), in this no ban. However, even in this case, kissing and caressing your spouse during fasting is undesirable.
If there is a possibility of arousal from a kiss or other caresses, then it is completely sinful to do this, and if ejaculation occurs from this, the fast will be broken. Fasting also interferes with the swallowing of the spouse's saliva. In this case, you only need to make up for the fast on another day.
AdvertisingMuslims strictly observe the traditions and covenants written in the Koran. One of the greatest celebrations is Ramadan holiday. This is a sacred month that has special meaning for everyone wrapped in this faith. Let's take a closer look at this traditional religious action, and also tell you when Ramadan is celebrated in 2019.
The main thing in the article
When is Ramadan celebrated in 2019: schedule - what date does the holy month of Ramadan begin and end?
Islamic calendar, or as it is also called Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar whose months begin with new moons. The 9th month of the Muslim year is called Ramadan. which can last 29–30 days. It begins at dawn after the ninth new moon. Since the calendar is tied to the Moon and its growth, every year (in comparison with our Gregorian calendar) the Ramadan holiday shifts to 11 days.
In 2019, the beginning of the ninth month of the Islamic calendar will fall at dawn on May 5th. It will last a month until dark on June 3rd.
This month representatives Arab world fast during daylight hours. This fast is obligatory for every “son of Allah”, because through it the power of faith is demonstrated, the spirit and will are strengthened. Fasting implies not only the renunciation of food, but also the cleansing of the body and soul through the renunciation of vices, lusts and worldly desires (prohibitions).
Brief history, essence, traditions, intention and meaning of Ramadan among Muslims
During Ramadan, the Koran is especially studied, the commandments of Allah are fulfilled, and believers adhere to the prescribed prohibitions.
- During the first 10 days, it is believed that Allah shows mercy to his believers.
- Over the next 10 days, the soul becomes pure, cleansing itself of sins and unclean thoughts.
- The final decade symbolizes salvation from Gehenna.
It is these last days that are considered the most sacred, since this period falls Night of al-Qadr (night of Power). It is generally accepted that on this night Allah “distributes” the fate of every believer for the next year, based on his deeds .
It is not known for certain which last days The Prophet Muhammad saw the appearance of the messenger Jibril, so it is revered every day. To be more precise, the Night of Determination of Destiny is celebrated several times during the last 10 days of Ramadan on odd days.
Rules of the holy month of Ramadan: what is allowed and what is not allowed during fasting in the month of Ramadan?
All believers in Allah must follow the rules of Ramadan, but there are exceptions that relate to:
- children (minors according to Sharia law);
- menstruating women;
- sick people, including the mentally ill;
- old people;
- women in labor and breastfeeding.
Eating during Ramadan is allowed at night, but only twice:
- Suhur- eating food is expected, which should end with prayer 20-30 minutes before the time of Fajr (before dawn).
- Iftar is the breaking of the fast that occurs after sunset (Maghrib time). It starts with dates and water. After satisfying hunger, be sure to say the Isha prayer (this is the 5th obligatory night prayer among Muslims).
Skipping meals is prohibited.
According to the Holy Scriptures, during daylight hours believers in Allah devote themselves to work and prayer (there are 5 obligatory daily prayers), to distract from sinful thoughts and motives. IN free time you need to read the Koran.
Activities during daylight hours that may violate the holy fast include:
- eating;
- drinking (alcohol, water, drinks, juices, etc.);
- smoking;
- having sex;
- involuntary cleansing of the body (vomiting, enema);
- taking medications.
How to prepare and how to properly observe the month of Ramadan?
You should prepare for Ramadan in advance. To do this, before the 9th month You should fast every Monday and Thursday of the week. Also, refuse food on the 13th, 14th, 15th of the month of Shaban
. A rule should be entered get up 20–30 minutes before dawn.
This time should be devoted to reading the Quran and prayer.
All the rules that should be followed during the month of Ramadan are prescribed in the Koran. Their observance helps believers to fast and refuse all temptations. To keep Ramadan, you need to remember the following:
- Iftar should consist of light foods.
- Suhur provides more high-calorie food, which serves as a “charge” of energy for the entire next day.
- When eating, it is better to avoid eating fatty and spicy foods, as they provoke a feeling of thirst.
- To prepare yourself, on the next day of fasting you need to read Niyat (translated as intention). It is read after dark. Theologians recommend repeating Niyat before dawn, since it is believed that such an intention is closer to the light post, and therefore stronger.
- It is believed that Niyat not said at night or read after dawn breaks the fast.
Which is correct: Ramadan or Ramazan?
The Muslim faith has two names, both Ramadan and Ramadan. The thing is that the only language in which the letter “dad” exists, used in the name of the month, is found only in Arabic. In all other languages and dialects the letter “za” is used. Because of this, the holiday of the ninth month can be pronounced both Ramadan and Ramadan.
It should be noted that regardless of the specific pronunciation of the Muslim people, when reading the Koran, the name of the holiday is pronounced exclusively as Ramadan. Since distortion when reading sacred scripture is unacceptable.
Water during Ramadan: is it safe to drink?
The answer is clear - Drinking during daylight hours of the month of Ramadan is prohibited. This rule applies to all liquids (alcohol, water, juice, fruit drink). The rule applies until sunset, after which believers are allowed to drink to their heart's content.
It should be noted that swallowing saliva is not a violation of fasting, but swallowing water that gets into the mouth while bathing is a break in fasting, for which a debt arises to Allah.
Is it possible to have sex during Ramadan?
Fasting on the holiday of Ramadan provides for the renunciation of carnal pleasures and the fulfillment of marital duties during daylight hours. After sunset, this prohibition does not apply, and sex is perfectly acceptable if desired or necessary. But if a believer breaks this rule and makes love to a woman during the day, then for this he will be punished “punishment” in the form of compensation for fasting for 60 days. Almsgiving and feeding the poor are also considered atonement for breaking fast.
How many Ramadans are there in a year and how many days does it last?
Ramadan happens only once a year. It is tied to the lunar calendar, so its occurrence changes annually, the website informs. The beginning of the ninth lunar month is considered the beginning of Ramadan. Its duration is calculated lunar days, so last Ramadan can last 29–30 days.
It should be noted that in different Muslim countries the first day of Ramadan may be slightly shifted (different).
The fact is that the first day of the 9th month can be calculated:
- astronomically;
- observation of the night celestial body;
- to be declared by theologians of the Muslim world.
These factors lead some believers to begin the anointing a day or two earlier than their fellow believers located on another continent.
Why do people only eat at night during Ramadan?
If you ask Muslims why it is only allowed to eat at night during Ramadan, everyone will have the same answer: "This is the will of Allah". Indeed, if you look for explanations in the Koran, it is impossible to find them. But by looking at history, we can shed some light on this type of abstinence.
Even before Islam, the Arabs lived according to a fixed calendar, and the month of Ramadan fell during the hottest period. It was the heat that gave the name to the ninth month, because the word Ramadan has a translation - intense heat (sultry time). It was impossible to be under the scorching sun at this time. The steppes were burned out, and people tried to hide from the rays of the hot sun. It seemed that life stood still this month, and only in the dark the Moon rose above the heads of the Arabs, giving them long-awaited coolness. It was at night that people could work, and therefore the need for food arose. Since food supplies were very scarce due to the scorching sun, and the main source of water was rain, that is, during the period of “doing nothing” (during the day) it was prohibited. It was from these origins that the tradition of eating during Ramadan only at night came.
What to do if you break your Ramadan fast?
Of course, everyone can't be perfect. Therefore, violations occur during Ramadan, for which believers bear a debt to Allah. To explain it more clearly, for every sin during the holy month of Ramadan you will need to pay off to Allah. What “rates” for farming are there in the Holy Scriptures?
- In cases where a believer ended the fast not of his own free will(unintentional violation). These include: the onset of menstruation in women, unintentional vomiting, accidentally swallowed a fly, etc. For such a violation of fasting, a ransom is required in the form of an extension of the interrupted Ramadan by the number of days (making up for missed days) and alms to the poor. You are allowed to pay your debt to Allah any day of the year before the next Ramadan.
- If the sin was deliberate(eating and drinking during the day, taking medications, having sex), the debt is repaid with an additional 60 days of abstinence and mercy to those in need in the form of money or food.

After the menstrual period, a woman must make up for the missed days of fasting.
Question: What should a nursing mother do during fasting?
Azan.kz: According to the most correct opinion, a woman who is pregnant or nursing is considered as one who is sick, so she is allowed not to fast, and she must only make up the missed days, whether she fears for herself or for the child. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allah has made the duty of fasting and part of the prayer easier for a traveler, and He has made the duty of fasting easier for pregnant and lactating women.” (at-Tirmidhi, 3/85, he said - this is a hasan hadith)

Azan.kz: If on some days it is difficult for a person to fast, he is allowed to break the fast on these days. Sometimes this even becomes mandatory (for example, upon the recommendation of a doctor) - if fasting causes significant harm to a person. Allah Almighty saved our community from difficulties. The Almighty said:
“He has not made any difficulty for you in religion.” (Quran 22:78)
A person who breaks his fast because it was very difficult for him is obliged to make up the missed days after he feels better.
Question: What should frail people (incurable people) do?
Azan.kz: Anyone who is not able to fast at all (that is, there is no hope that he will ever be able to fast, for example, a very old, as well as a terminally ill person), has the right not to observe fasting, but for each missed day he must feed one poor person. Abdullah ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, read the Words of the Almighty: “And those who are able to fast with difficulty, should feed the poor in atonement.” (Quran 2:184)
Question: I vomited while fasting. Is my fast broken?
Azan.kz: “Whoever is overcome by vomiting is not obliged to make up for his fast, and whoever intentionally caused vomiting must make up for his fast.” (Ahmad No. 10085, Abu Dawud No. 2370, At Tirmidhi No. 720, Ibn Majah No. 1676)
Question: How should Oraza Ait be celebrated?
Azan.kz: In Oraza Ait, you need to prepare a festive meal, invite relatives and friends. You can go visit your relatives yourself. The most important thing is to feel like it’s a holiday.

Azan.kz: Fasting for 6 days after the month of Ramadan in the month of Shawwal is Sunnah. You can fast intermittently, i.e. 2 days at the beginning, 2 days in the middle, 2 days at the end. Also fast in the usual way, i.e. from dawn to dusk, refusing to eat, drink, intimacy and other things that break the fast. You can start after the Oraza Ait holiday.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan, followed by six days of Shawwal, is equal to one who fasts the whole year.” (Muslim)
