Question ID 4640 Thursday 21st of March 2019

Question:

Salaam Syed Cricket world cup will take place in the UK this year. There are two matches taking place in ramadan. The two games will be outside of my city and ill have to travel around 110 miles to reach the stadium. If i go to watch these matches will my fast be qasr? Also is it permissable to nake such a journey? Thank you

Answer:

If you travel before Zohr time (Noon), your fast of that day will be invalid. You must keep the missed fast as Qaza fast after the month of Ramadhan.
If you travel after Zohr time (Afternoon), your fast of that day will be valid. Next day, if you do not return home before Noon, you will be a traveller and you can not fast during travelling.
I don’t advise you to travel during the month f Ramadhan unless it is really necessary and watching a game is not necessary. You can watch it on TV but be careful not to waste more time on watching games as our moments of time are limited.

Question ID 4614 Tuesday 5th of March 2019

Question:

SA Syed, I am under the taqleed of Aga Khui i have wajib qadha fasts to do, 1: can i do Mustahab fasts ? or do I need to complete wajib qadha first? 2: can we combine both the niyats in one fast , qadha wajib and mushahab ? JA .. thank you

Answer:

No Mustahab (recommended) fast is valid when you have obligatory Qadha fast.
It is not allowed to combine intention of Wajib fast and Mustaab fast together.
The reward of obligatory Qadha fast is greater than mustahab fast. Your intention that ou wish to keep Mustahab fast is a source of reward for ou, but ou Must perform your obligatory Qadha fast first.

Question ID 4475 Monday 12th of November 2018

Question:

I follow sistani if I masturbated during Ramadan do I have to do one kaffarah or all three if so how do I free a slave

Answer:

Breaking the fast on Haraam during the day of month of Ramadhan makes the
Kaffara multiple. You need to:
1. fast for two months and
2. feed sixty poor persons and
3. free a slave if you can, but because it is not possible now a days, so
it is not obligatory now.
You must do the first and second mentioned above.
