Guide libraryRamadan and fasting
Intention for fasting: Ramadan and missed fasts
Intention means consciously choosing the act of worship. A memorised Arabic sentence is not required for fasting. This guide identifies the Hanafi approach presented by Diyanet and does not treat the timing rules of different schools as identical.
Ramadan and fastingUnderstanding what does and does not break a fast
Forgetting, making a mistake and acting deliberately are different situations. Whether a fast remains valid and whether make-up or expiation is required are also separate questions. These examples follow Diyanet’s predominantly Hanafi guidance.
Ramadan and fastingMake-up fasts, fidyah and zakat al-fitr: three different concepts
What follows a missed fast depends on why it was missed and whether it can be made up later. Fidyah is not an optional payment anyone may choose instead of fasting. Zakat al-fitr is a separate obligation, not a count of missed days.
Giving and zakatPlanning zakat al-fitr: people, amount and timing
To plan zakat al-fitr, first establish whose obligation is involved, then check the applicable per-person amount and timing. Multiplication alone cannot determine a religious obligation.
