The ruling on one who learns of the entry of Ramadan during the day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
On the first day of the month of Ramadan, it was not confirmed to us that it was a definite day of fasting, but shortly after, we were told that it was a definite day of fasting, and praise be to Allah. However, there is a woman who, after she learned that it was a definite day of fasting, continued [eating]. Is there a sin on her? Or an expiation? What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding that time?
The Shaykh:
If one does not know that it is the day of Ramadan until during the day, meaning after the dawn has appeared, he must abstain for the rest of that day, and not eat or drink, and he must make up this day, because he did not fast it completely, as a period passed over him in which he did not fast, which is after the dawn. So if he learns of the entry of the month during the day, he must abstain for the rest of his day, and not eat or drink, and act as a fasting person acts, but he must make up this day from another day, because he did not fast it completely, as a period passed over him in which he did not intend to fast.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you. A woman said to her husband, and she heard that saying, that she did not want to return to him, saying, "I am like my sister." Then she returned to him. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah in that, and is there a sin on her for this statement?
The Shaykh:
If a woman pronounces zihar against her husband, and the correct of the opinions of the scholars is that she owes an expiation of an oath: feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. If she does not find [the means to do so], she must fast for three days.
