A man kissing and touching his wife while fasting.

Sheikh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon him) was asked:

“If a man kisses his wife during the day of Ramadhan or plays around with her, does this nullify his fast or not?"

Backbiting,Slandering, Cursing, etc while fasting…

Sheikh Bin Baaz was asked: “Does backbiting someone break ones fast during Ramadan?”

His reply was: “Backbiting does not break ones fast. It is to mention about someone that which they would not like. It is a form of disobedience. We know this because of the statement of Allah

{وَلَا يَغْتَب بَّعْضُكُم بَعْضًا}

{… neither backbite one another …}

[Al Hujuraat : 12]

Like this is slandering, cursing, swearing and lying. None of these things break someones fast. They are though, disobedience. Therefore

Let Him Prefer Allaah to His Desires

 

Whosoever desires to purify his heart, then let him prefer Allaah to his desires!

The heart which is clinging to its desires is veiled from Allaah, commensurate to the degree that it is attached to them, the hearts are the vessels of Allaah upon his earth, hence the most beloved of them to him, are the ones most compassionate, pure and resistant to deviation. They (the transgressors) preoccupied their hearts [in the pursuance] of the Dunya, would that they preoccupied them with Allaah and the hereafter, then surely they would have reflected upon the intended meaning of his poignant words and verses. 

Increase of Provision through Forgiveness - 3

 It is narrated from Abi Saeed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allaah صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم said:

                                                  ‘Whoever performs wudhu and then says:

‘ Subhanaka-Allahuma wabihamdika laa ilaaha illaa anta astaghfiruka wa atooboo ilaika’
(‘Far are You O Allaah from imperfection, & You have all praise, there is none worthy of worship in truth except You, I seek forgiveness from You & I repent to You),
then this reward is written in a parchment and it is stamped with a seal and no falsehood can break it until the Day of Judgment.’

[Taken from ‘Silsilah as-Saheehah’ No. 2333 declared Hasan by Shaykh al-Albaani]

“Women seeking Knowledge‏”

Shaykhah Umm Salamah bint ‘Alee asSalafiyyah (Dammaj, Yemen)

Only one of these many proofs is sufficient for the ruling that the following statement is false: “Reading and writing are not for women, they are for us. And for them from us is that they are the origin of impurity.”

It is also false when someone says that it is an innovation that women seek knowledge in the Masaajid. Rather, I am amazed that the one who says this would prevent his wife from going to the Houses of Allaah to seek knowledge yet at the same time he allows her to go from house to house and from shop to shop!

The Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم said: “Do not prevent the slaves of Allaah from the Houses of Allaah.” - Al Hadeeth

Knowledge protects you

“That he who has knowledge does not become tired in protecting it.

This is because, if Allaah bestows knowledge upon you, then its place is in the heart and there is no need for containers or keys or the like.

It is protected in the heart and soul, and in time itself it is a protector for you, because it protects you from danger, with Allaah’s permission.

So knowledge protects you, whilst with property, you protect it by placing it in locked up containers, and despite all this, you still remain insecure about it.”

Sheikh Uthaimeen رحمه الله

“O you who sold yourself' - Imaam ibnul-Qayyim

“O you who sold yourself for the sake of something that will cause you suffering and pain, and which will also lose its beauty, you sold the most precious item for the cheapest price, as if you neither knew the value of the goods nor the meanness of the price. Wait until you come to the Day of mutual loss and gain and you will discover the injustice of this contract. ‘There is no deity worthy of worship in truth except for Allaah’ is something that Allaah is buying. Its price is Paradise, and the Messenger is its agent, and you will be pleased to part with a small part of this worldly life to obtain it. The part you lose is a small part of something that as a whole is not worth a mosquito’s wing.”

The Condition of the Salaf in Ramadhan - Sheikh Saleh al-Fawzaan

Question:

I have some questions; the first question: what was the state of the Salaf As-Saalih, may Allaah have mercy upon them and be pleased with them, in anticipation of this great month? How was their guidance? How was their character and their conduct? The second matter, O eminent Shaykh, how does the Muslim prepare to take advantage of these nights and days which he is now living in; preparation by way of knowledge, by knowing the rulings of fasting and knowing the nullifiers of the fast and its rulings? Some of the people are heedless of these things so they do not understand the affair of fasting and they also do not have the obligatory understanding of the affair of the fast, has the Shaykh noticed this matter? May Allaah reward you.
