Episode Details

This lesson by Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan introduces the chapter of fasting from Manhaj as-Sālikīn by defining ṣiyām both linguistically and Islamically. Linguistically, ṣiyām means to withhold, a meaning found in the Qur’an, such as in Sūrah Maryam where withholding from speech is described as ṣawm. Islamically, fasting is an act of worship done solely for Allah, requiring intention, and consists of withholding from the mufsidāt of fasting during the legislated time, from Fajr until Maghrib, as established by consensus and clear textual evidence.

Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan then explains that fasting Ramadan is not only obligatory but a pillar of Islam, supported by the Qur’an and Sunnah. He outlines who fasting is required from and discusses key fiqh issues in the chapter, including intention, ability, the fasting of children, and the ruling of someone who becomes obligated during the day in Ramadan, highlighting the scholarly differences on whether they must withhold and make up that day.
