I come from a family of moderate means and I amworking during the
vacation doing work that is very difficult, to help my family with
their expenses. This job of minecoincides with the fast of Ramadan and
I cannot both work and fast. Is it permissible for me to fast at a
time other than Ramadan so that I can continue with my work? Please
advise me, may Allah reward you.
Praise be to Allaah.
What is required of the believer when Ramadan comes is to fast
Ramadan.If he is doing difficult work, he should reduce it so that he
can fast. He cando that by working in the time that suits him at the
beginning of the day, then refraining from the work that is too
difficult for him, so that he can complete his fast. Allah, may He be
glorified and exalted, has made the fastan obligation and one of the
five pillars of Islam.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Islam is
built on five (pillars): testimony that there is nogod but Allah and
that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; establishing prayer; paying
zakaah; fasting Ramadan; and pilgrimage to the House for the one who
is able to do that."
What is required of every Muslim man and woman is to fast this month,
and to beware of everything that may form an obstacleto that. Work
does not end and there are many times for it. It is possible for the
believer to do his work at night or at the beginning of the day so
that it will not be too difficult for him to work inthe middle of the
day.
The point here is that you have to look for means that will help you
to combine the two matters:fasting and working, in a way that will not
harm you. This is what you have to do. As for not fasting, that is not
permissible for you. End quote.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

It is not permissible for you not to fast because of work
There is nothing wrong with giving food and drink to a mentally impaired person during the day in Ramadan
On the first day of Ramadan, I had a visit from an old lady who is one
hundred years old. Sometimes she is aware and sometimes she is not
aware. She asked me to make coffee for her, and I did that and brought
the coffee to her. Is there any sin on me for that? Pleasenote that I
told her that it was Ramadan. Please advise me, may Allah reward you.
Praise be to Allaah.
If it seems that she is mentally impaired and that she has become
senile, there is nothing wrong with your making coffee for her,
because sheis not obliged to fast. The fact that she is partly
rational, such as when shesays, 'Do such and such or bring me such and
such,' does not mean that she is of completely sound mind. In most
cases one who reaches the age of one hundred has become senile and has
changed. If it seems to you that she ismentally impaired and that she
is not fully aware, there is nothing wrong with her eating and
drinking. But if you think that she is fully of sound mind and that
she is being negligent, then do not give her coffee or anything else,
lest you arehelping her in falsehood. Allah says (interpretation of
the meaning):
"Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness
andpiety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression"
[al-Maa'idah 5:2].
If a person asks for food in Ramadan and he is healthy and is Muslim,
he should not be given eitherfood or drink or cigarettes, and he
should not be helped in falsehood.
But if he is mentally impaired, such as one who has an intellectual
disability, has become senile, is insane or is very old, there is no
blame on them because fasting is waived in their case.

Ramadan is nearly over, but we are still Muslims
"Ramadan is over. Life goes on. But we are still Muslim, and Allah is
still our Lord. We still call to Allah even though we're not
surrounded by hundreds every night who are doing the same. We still
pray our salat because it's required of us inside of Ramadan and
outside of it.We hold on tight to this passion for seeking Allah's
great pleasure and we willfight for it if we feel it slipping.
We are not Ramadan Muslims, we are Real Muslims, and we act like it."

What to Say on Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Power
The last ten nights of Ramadan are here. This is an amazing, powerful,
unique time. These days are the most spiritually charged days of the
year, more full of power than a great star or the mighty ocean. And
one of these days is Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Power, equal to a
thousand months. Every prayer is magnified, every good deed is
multiplied exponentially.
What to say during Laylat al-Qadr? It is recommended to supplicate a
lot during thisnight. It is reported from 'Aisha (ra), that she said:
"OMessenger of ALLAH! What if I knew which night Lailatul-Qadr was,
then what should I say in it?" The Prophet (PBUH) said.- "Say.-
(Allahumma innaka 'affuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee.)
"O ALLAH You are The One Who pardons greatly, and loves to pardon, so
pardon me."
[reported by at-Tirmithi]
I also wish to remind everyone that all difficulties pass, all
troubles pass. Hard times don't last, but strong people do! Worry if
you must, but do not fear. Allah is with you. He is TheForgiving, The
Merciful, The Loving, and the Giver of Peace. Call upon Him,
especially during this blessed time. You have no idea how much your
worship at this special time is valued. More than any of us can count.
SubhanAllah.
