Abstract

The current study aims at casting a new light on the importance of abstinence the rest of the day in consideration of Fasting (Sawm) in relation to fasting in general and fasting of Ramadan in particular. The current issue raised many questions regarding this matter, which was not explored and probed before. Fittingly, the abstinence is not legal fasting (Sawm Shara'e) and the obligatory fasting is not broken by it as well. The abstinence is a temporally matter related to fasting which its ruling is not different but based on its rules and regulation appropriately; the abstinence is one of requirements of Ramadan. There is no abstinence on a Muslim who breaks the fast not rather Ramadan i.e. the vow, the expiation as as well as making up missed Fast as some scholars opine. The abstinence is on a Muslim who breaks the fast on the thirtieth of Sha'ban because he/she thinks it is the completion of Sha'ban and then he/she knows it is the first day of Ramadan. The fast of any day of Ramadan becomes void by intentional eating or drinking and etcetera. without lawful reasons or reasonable excuses. Amongst those Muslims whose fast is made void such as a person who eats and drinks etc, because he/she thinks the dawn does not break and he/she comes to know that the dawn breaks. In addition, a person who breaks the fast unintentionally because he/she thinks it is the time of sunset and knows the sun does not set. The abstinence is not on an individual Muslim who arrives at his/her town. celebrating Eed I-Fitr and finds his people fast. The abstinence is also not obligatory in such cases. For example, the non-Muslim who converted into Islam on the daybreak, the child who reaches the age of puberty and the insane person who becomes sane and able. In addition to a Muslim who breaks the fast for reasonable excuse and this excuse abated during the daybreak such as the woman in the period of menstruation and the woman in childbed if they purify.. Traveler who does not keep the fast and the sick Muslim who recovers. But the fit Muslim (Mukallaf) should not eat or drink with a person who does not know his/her reasonable excuse because if he/she eats and drinks, he/she expose himself/herself to suspicion.
