The Nation Newspaper DAY 13: Five things to abstain from during Ramadan fast
To the Muslims partaking in the ongoing Ramadan fast, there are things to stay away from while at it. 1. Food, drink and sexual intercourse from dawn until sunset, In accordance with the verse of the Quran : “Now therefore go unto them and seek what Allah has ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white thread of dawn be comes distinct from the black thread, then observe the fast till nightfall”.
Sexual intercourse must be followed by complete ablution, i.e. a bath covering all parts of the body. 5. Lying, lustful looks, false oath, slander and calumny. The Prophet said : “Five things spoil a man’s fast – lying, slander, calumny, the false oath and the lustful look.”Some ulama believe that those forbidden things spoil one’s fast. They base their verdict on the Prophet’s warning that “five things spoil a man’s fast… etc.” and other ravings mentioned earlier. They also base their verdict on a definite quotation.
