A word by the Shaykh regarding the things that break the fast.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Based on that, we now return, may Allah bless you, to mentioning the things that break the fast of the fasting person, for which evidence has been established, so that we may negate anything other than them, because we want to build rulings on the basis of the things that break the fast. I will now list them once, or twice, or three times, so I will repeat the cycle. I ask you to recite them. The things that break the fast are eating and drinking, sexual intercourse, and whatever takes the place of eating and drinking, and the emission of semen through desire by an act of the fasting person, and intentional vomiting, and the exit of blood through cupping, and the exit of menstrual blood and post-natal bleeding. The second time: they are eating and drinking, sexual intercourse, and whatever takes the place of eating and drinking, and the emission of semen through desire by an act of the fasting person, and intentional vomiting, and the exit of blood through cupping, and the exit of menstrual blood and post-natal bleeding. The third time: the things that break the fast are eight: eating and drinking, sexual intercourse, and whatever takes the place of eating and drinking, and the emission of semen through desire by an act of the fasting person, and intentional vomiting, and the exit of blood through cupping, and the exit of menstrual blood and post-natal bleeding. How many are these? Eight. Who will come to me with two from these?
The questioner : Eating and drinking.
The Shaykh : Two as well.
The questioner : Sexual intercourse and whatever takes the place of eating and drinking.
The Shaykh : And whatever takes the place of eating and drinking. Two.
The questioner : Intentional vomiting and the exit of blood through cupping.
The Shaykh : Yes, good.
The questioner : The emission of semen through desire by the fasting person, and the blood of menstruation and post-natal bleeding.
The Shaykh : Well done. These are now eight. I say that if these eight occur for the fasting person, his fast becomes invalid. What do you say?
The questioner : Bring the evidence.
The Shaykh : What is the evidence?
The questioner : Eating and drinking.
The Shaykh : Two as well.
The questioner : Sexual intercourse and whatever takes the place of eating and drinking.
The Shaykh : And whatever takes the place of eating and drinking. Two.
The questioner : Intentional vomiting and the exit of blood through cupping.
The Shaykh : Yes, good.
The questioner : The emission of semen through desire by the fasting person, and the blood of menstruation and post-natal bleeding.
The Shaykh : Well done. These are now eight. I say that if these eight occur for the fasting person, his fast becomes invalid. What do you say?
The questioner : Bring the evidence.
The Shaykh : What is the evidence?
