*- 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)./-

The story of Prophet Eesaa -II

In the first part of the Story of Prophet 'Eesaa )Jesus(we highlighted
the most important events in his life: his miraculous birth, his
childhood, the opposition of the Jewish authorities to his mission,
his miracles, etc. Here we continue his story:
Prophet 'Eesaacontinued calling people to Almighty Allaah and laying
down for them what might be called the 'Law of the Spirit.' Once, when
standing on a mountain surrounded by his disciples, 'Eesaasaw that
those who believed in him were from among the poor, the wretched, and
the downtrodden, and their number was small. Some of the miracles
which 'Eesaaperformed had been requested by his disciples, such as
their wish for a 'holy table-spread' to be sent down from heaven.
Allaah the Exalted Says )what means(:"]And remember[ when the
disciples said: 'O 'Eesaa, Son of Maryam! Can your Lord send down to
us a table ]spread with food[ from theheaven?' ]'Eesaa[ said: 'Fear
Allaah, if you should be believers.'They said: 'We wish to eat from
itand let our hearts be reassured and know that you have been truthful
to us and be among its witnesses.' Said 'Eesaa, the son ofMaryam: 'O
Allaah, our Lord! Send down to us a table ]spread with food[ from the
heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us andthe last of us
and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of
providers.' Allaah said: 'Indeed, I will send it down to you, but
whoever disbelieves afterwards from among you - then indeed will I
punish him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among
the worlds.'"]Quran: 5:112-115[
'Eesaacommanded his disciples to fast for thirty days; at the end of
it, they asked 'Eesaato bring food from heaven to break their fast.
'Eesaaprayed to Allaah after his disciples had doubted Allaah's power.
The great table came down between twoclouds, one above and one below,
while the people watched. 'Eesaasaid: "O Lord! make it a mercy and not
a cause of distress." So it fell between 'Eesaa's hands, covered with
a napkin.
'Eesaasuddenly prostrated, and his disciples followed suit. They
sensed a fragrance, which they had never smelled before. 'Eesaasaid:
"The one who is themost devout and most righteous may uncover the
table, that we might eat of it to thank Allaah for it." They said: "O
Spiritof Allaah! You are the most deserving."
'Eesaastood up, performed ablution and prayed before uncovering the
table, and behold, there was a roasted fish. The disciplessaid: "O
Spirit of Allaah! Isthis the food of this world or ofParadise?"
'Eesaasaid to his disciples: "Did not Allaah forbid you to ask
questions? It is the divinepower of Allaah the Almighty, Who said:
'Be' and it was. It is a sign from Almighty Allaah warning of great
punishment for unbelieving mortals of the world. This is the kernel of
the matter."
It is said that thousands of people ate from it, andyet it was never
entirely consumed. A further miracle was that the blind and lepers
were cured by 'Eesaaby Allaah's leave.
The Day of the Table became one of the holy days for the disciples
andfollowers of 'Eesaa. Later, the disciples and followers who forgot
the real essence of the miracles, worshipped 'Eesaaas a god. Almighty
Allaah asserts )what means(:"And ]bewarethe Day[ when Allaah will say:
'O 'Eesaa, Son of Maryam! Did you say to the people: 'Take me and my
mother as deities besides Allaah?' He )i.e. 'Eesaa( will say: 'Exalted
are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have noright. If I
had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself,
and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, itis You who is
Knower of the unseen'"]Quran: 5:116[
'Eesaawent on his mission, until the corrupted leaders and
hypocritical men of religious power felt his threat to them. So the
forces of evil accused himof magic, infringement of the Mosaic Law,
and allegiance with the devil; and when they saw that the poor people
followedhim, they began to scheme against him.
The Sanhedrin, the highest judicial and ecclesiastical council of the
Jews, began to plot against 'Eesaa. The plan took a new turn. When the
Jews failed to stop the call of 'Eesaathey decided to kill him. The
chief priests held secret meetings to agree on the best way of getting
rid of 'Eesaa. While they were in such ameeting, one of the twelve
apostles, Judas Iscariot, went to them and asked: "What will you give
me if I deliver him to you?" Judas bargained with them until they
agreed to give him thirty pieces of silver,known as shekels. The plot
was laid for the capture and murder of 'Eesaa.
The priests had no authority to pass the death sentence at that time,
so they convinced the Roman governor that'Eesaawas plotting against
the security of the Roman Empire and urged him to take immediate
action againsthim. The governor ordered that 'Eesaabe arrested and
crucified.
The Glorious Quran, contrary to the Gospels, affirms that Allaah, the
Exalted, did not permit the people ofIsraelto kill or crucify 'Eesaa.
Allaah saved him from hisenemies and raised him to heaven. They never
killed 'Eesaa; they killed someone else.
Allaah the Almighty declares )what means(:"And ]We cursed them for[
their saying: 'Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, 'Eesaa, the son of
Maryam, the messenger of Allaah.' And they did not kill him, nor did
they crucify him; but ]another[ was made to resemblehim to them. And
indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no
knowledgeof it except the following of assumption. And they did not
kill him, for certain. Rather, Allaah raised him to Himself. And ever
is Allaah Exalted in Might and Wise."]Quran: 4:157-158[
Almighty Allaah also revealed )what means(:"]Mention[ when Allaah
said: 'O 'Eesaa! Indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and
purify ]i.e.,free[ you from those who disbelieve and make those who
follow you ]in submission to Allaah alone[ superior to those who
disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return,
and I will judge between you concerning that in which youused to
differ.'"]Quran: 3:55[
Almighty Allaah refutes the claims of the Jews and the Christians many
times in the Glorious Quran. For example, He Says )what means(: "And
they say: 'The Most Merciful has taken ]for Himself[ a son.' You have
done an atrocious thing. The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the
earth splits open and the mountains collapse indevastation; That they
attribute to the Most Merciful a son. And it is not appropriate for
the Most Merciful that He should take a son. There is no one in the
heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a
servant."
In many verses, in addition to those alreadymentioned, Allaah, the
Almighty, affirmed His being highly above having a child, a wife, or a
partner, thus, refuting all such false allegations. Allaah, the
Almighty, revealed a separate Quranic chapter to affirmHis Unity and
Uniqueness.This chapter is the one-hundred and twelfth, the meaning of
which is:"Say: 'He is Allaah, ]who is[ One. Allaah, the Eternal
Refuge. He neither begets nor is born. Nor is there to Him any
equivalent.'"]Quran: 112:1-4[

The story of Prophet Eesaa -I

While Maryam )Mary(, may Allaah exalt her mention, was praying inher
place of worship, an angel in the form of a man appeared before her.
Filled with terror, she tried to flee, praying)what means(:"…'Indeed,
I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, ]soleave me[, if you
should be fearing of Allaah.' He said: 'I am only the messenger of
your Lord to give you ]news of[ a pure boy ]i.e., son[.' She said:
'How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been
unchaste?' He said: 'Thus ]it will be[; your Lord says: 'It is easy
for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us.
And it is a matter ]already[ decreed.''"]Quran: 19:18-21[
The angel's visit caused Maryam, may Allaah exalt her mention, great
anxiety, which increased as the months went by. How could she face
giving birth to a child without having a husband?
Later, she felt life kicking inside her. With a heavy heart, she left
the place of prayer and went toNazareth, the city in which she had
been born, where she settled in a simple farm house toavoid the
public.
But fear and anxiety did not leave her. She was from a noble and pious
family. Her father had notbeen an evil man nor washer mother an impure
woman. How could she prevent tongues from wagging about her honour?
After some months, she could bear the mental strain no longer.
Burdened with a heavy womb, she leftNazareth, not knowing where to go
to be away from this depressing atmosphere.
She had not gone far, when she was overtaken by the pains of
childbirth.She sat down against a dry palm tree, and here she gave
birth to a son. Looking at her beautiful baby, she was hurt that she
had brought him intothe world without a father. She exclaimed )what
means(: "…Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion,
forgotten." ]Quran: 19:23[
Suddenly, she heard a voice nearby saying)what means(:"…'Do not
grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream. And shake toward
you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh
dates. So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among
humanity anyone, say: 'Indeed, I have vowed to the MostMerciful
abstention, so I will not speak today to ]any[ man.'"]Quran: 19:24-26[
For a while she was comforted by Allaah's miracle, for it was a sure
sign of her innocence and purity. She decided to return to the city.
However, her fears also returned. What was she going to tell the
people?
As she had expected, her arrival in the city with a newborn baby in
her arms aroused the curiosity of the people. They scolded her: "This
is a terrible sin that you have committed!" She put her finger to her
lips and pointed to the child. They asked: "How can wespeak to a
newborn baby?" To their total amazement, the child began to speak
clearly, saying )what means(:"…'Indeed, I am the servant of Allaah. He
has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me
blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and Zakaah as
long as I remain alive. Allaah ]made me[ dutiful to my mother, and He
has not made mea wretched tyrant. And peace is on me the day I was
born and theday I will die and the day I am raised alive.'"]Quran:
19:30-33[
Most of the people realised that the baby was unique, for if Allaah
wills something, He merely says 'Be' and it happens. Of course,
therewere some who regarded the baby's speech as a strange trick, but
at least Maryam, may Allaah exalt her mention, could now stay in
Nazareth without being harassed.
It was said that Yoosuf )Joseph( the Carpenter was greatly surprised
when he knew the story, so he asked Maryam, mayAllaah exalt her
mention: "Can a tree come to grow without a seed?" She replied: "Yes,
the onewhich Allaah created for the first time." He asked her again:
"Is it possible to bear a child without a male partner?" She replied:
"Yes, Allaah, created Aadam without male or female!"
The Jewish priests felt this child )'Eesaa, or Jesus( was dangerous,
forthey felt that the people would turn their worshipto Allaah, the
Almighty, displacing the existing Jewish tenets. Consequently, they
wouldlose their authority over the people. Therefore, they kept the
miracle of 'Eesaa's speech in infancya secret and accused Maryam, may
Allaah exalt her mention, of a great misdeed.
As 'Eesaa, may Allah exalt his mention, grew, the signs of prophethood
began to increase. He could tell his friends what kind of supper
waited for them at home and what they had hidden and where. Whenhe was
twelve years old, he accompanied his mother toJerusalem. There, he
wandered into the temple and joined a crowd listening to the lecture
of the Rabbis )Jewish priests(. The audience was all adult, but he was
not afraid to sit with them. After listening intently, he asked
questions and expressed his opinion. The learned rabbis were disturbed
by the boy's boldness and puzzled by the questions he asked, for they
were unable to answer him. They tried tosilence him, but he ignored
their attempts and continued to expresshis views. 'Eesaabecame so
involved in this exchange that he forgot he was expected back home.
In the meantime, his mother went home, thinking that he might have
gone back with relatives or friends. Whenshe arrived, she discovered
that he was not there, so she returned to the city to look for him. At
last she found him in the temple, sitting among the learned,
conversing with them.
Maryam, may Allaah exalt her mention, became angry with him for
causing her worry. He tried to assure her that all the arguing and
debating with the learned had made him forget the time.
'Eesaagrew into manhood. It was the Sabbath )Saturday(, a dayof
complete rest for the Jews: no fire could be lit or extinguished, nor
could females plait their hair. It was a Jewish practice that Saturday
be dedicated to the worshipof Allaah. However, the wisdom behind the
Sabbath and its spirit hadgone, and only the letter remained in the
Jews' hearts. Also, they thoughtthat Sabbath was kept in heaven, and
that the People of Israel had beenchosen by Allaah only to observe the
Sabbath.
They made a hundred things unlawful on Saturday, even self-defence, or
calling a doctor to save a patient who was in poor condition. There
was, for example, a rule which prohibited a journey of more than one
thousand yards on the Sabbath day.
One day )on a Sabbath(, 'Eesaawas on his wayto the temple. He
reachedout his hand to pick two pieces of fruit to feed a hungry
child. This was considered to be a violation of the Sabbath law. He
made a fire for the old women to keep themselves warm from the
freezing air, which was considered another violation. He went to the
temple and looked around.
There were twenty thousand Jewish priests registered there who earned
their living from the temple. The rooms of the temple were full of
them. In the temple, the Pharisees and Sadducees acted as if it was a
market place, and these two groups always disagreed on everything.
'Eesaafollowed the scene with his eyes and observed that the poor
people who could not afford the price of the sheep or dove were swept
away like flies by the Pharisees and Sadducees. 'Eesaawasastonished.
Why did the priests burn so many offerings inside the temple, while
thousands of poor people were hungry outside it?
On this night, the two noble Prophets Yahyaa )John( and Zakariyyaa
)Zachariah(, may Allaah exalt their mention, wereexecuted by the
ruling authority. On the same night, the revelation descended upon
'Eesaa. Allaah, the Exalted, commanded him to begin his call to the
children ofIsrael. To 'Eesaathe life of ease was now closed, and the
page of worship and struggle had opened.
Like an opposing force, the message of 'Eesaacame to denounce the
practices of the Phariseesand to reinforce the Law of Moosaa. In the
face of a materialistic ageof luxury and worship of gold, 'Eesaacalled
his people to a nobler life by word and deed. This exemplary life was
the only way out of the wretchedness and diseases of his age.
'Eesaa's call, from the outset, was marked by itscomplete uprightness
and piety. He continued inviting people to Almighty Allaah. His call
was based on the principle that there is no mediation between the
Creator and His creatures.However, 'Eesaawas in conflict with the
Jews' superficial interpretationof the Torah. He said that he did not
come to abrogate the Torah, but to complete it by going to the spirit
of its substance to arrive at its essence.
He made the Jews understand that the Ten Commandments had more value
than they imagined. For instance, the fifth commandment does not only
prohibit physical killing, but all forms of killing: physical,
psychological, or spiritual. The sixth commandment does not prohibit
adultery only in the sense of unlawful physical contact betweena man
and a woman, but also prohibits all forms ofunlawful relations or
actsthat might lead to adultery. The eye commits adultery when itlooks
at anything with passion.
'Eesaawas, therefore, in confrontation with thematerialistic people.
He told them to desist from hypocrisy, showing off and false praise.
There was no need to hoard wealth in this life. They should not
preoccupy themselves with the goods of this passing world; rather they
must preoccupy themselves with the affairs of the coming world because
it would be everlasting. He told them that caring for this world is a
sin, not fit for pious worshippers. Asfor the believers, they know
that their sustenance is with Allaah,so they trust in Him and scorn
this world.
'Eesaacontinued to invite people to worship the Only Lord who is
without partner, and to purify the heart and soul.His teaching annoyed
thepriests, for every word of'Eesaawas a threat to them and their
position, exposing their misdeeds.
The priests started to plotagainst 'Eesaa. They wanted to embarrass
himand to prove that he had come to destroy the Mosaic Law. The Mosaic
Law provides that an adulteress be stoned to death. They brought him a
Jewish adulteress and asked 'Eesaa: "Does not the law stipulate the
stoning of the adulteress?" 'Eesaaanswered: "Yes." They said: "This
woman is an adulteress." 'Eesaalooked at the woman and then at the
priests. He knew that they were more sinful than she. They agreed that
she should be killed according to Mosaic Law, and they understood
thatif he was going to apply Mosaic Law, he would be destroying his
own rules of forgiveness and mercy.
'Eesaaunderstood their plan. He smiled and assented: "Whoever among
you is sinless can stone her." His voice rose in the middle of
theTemple, making a new law on adultery, for the sinless to judge sin.
Therewas none eligible; no mortal can judge sin, only Allaah the Most
Merciful.
He continued his mission,aided by divine miracles. Some Quranic
commentators said that 'Eesaabrought four people back from the dead: a
friend of his, an old woman's son, and a woman's only daughter. These
three had died during his lifetime. Whenthe Jews saw this, they said:
"You only resurrect those who have died recently; perhaps they simply
fainted." They therefore asked him to bring back to life Sam, the son
of Nooh.
When 'Eesaaasked them to show him his grave, the people accompanied
him there. 'Eesaainvoked Allaah the Exalted to bring him back to life
and behold, Sam came out from the grave grey-haired. 'Eesaaasked: "How
did you get grey hair, when therewas no ageing in your time?" He
answered: "O Spirit of Allaah! I thought that the Day of Resurrection
had come; from the fear of that Day my hair turned grey."

Dought & clear - Prohibition on anticipating Ramadan byfasting one or two days before it begins.

I heard that it is not permissible for us to fastbefore Ramadaan. Is that true?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There are ahaadeeth narrated from the Prophet )peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him( which forbid fasting in the second half of
Sha'baan, except in two cases:
1 – Those who have a habitual pattern of fasting, such as a man who
usually fasts on Mondays and Thursdays – he may continue to do so even
in the second half of Sha'baan.
2 – If he joins fasts in thesecond half of Ramadaan to the first half,
i.e., if he started to fast in the first half and continues to fast
until Ramadaan begins, this ispermissible. See question no. 13726.
These ahaadeeth includethe following:
Al-Bukhaari )1914( and Muslim )1082( narrated that Abu Hurayrah )may
Allaah be pleased with him( said: The Messengerof Allaah )peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him( said: "Do not anticipate Ramadaan by
fasting one or two days before it begins, but if a man habitually
fasts, then let him fast."
Abu Dawood )3237(, al-Tirmidhi )738( and IbnMaajah )1651( narrated
from Abu Hurayrah )may Allaah be pleased with him( that the Messenger
of Allaah )peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him( said: "When
Sha'baan is half over, do not fast." Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani
in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 590.
Al-Nawawi said:
The words of the Prophet )peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him(,
"Do not anticipate Ramadaan by fasting one or two days before it
begins, but if a man habitually fasts, then let him fast,"
clearlyindicate that it is not allowed to anticipate Ramadaan by
fasting one or two days before it begins, for those who do not have a
habitual pattern of fasting or who are not continuing to fast after
starting to fast before )in the first half of Sha'baan(. If one is not
continuing to fast or does not have a regular pattern of fasting, then
it is haraam.
Al-Tirmidhi )686( and al-Nasaa'i )2188( narrated that 'Ammaar ibn
Yaasir )may Allaah bepleased with him( said: "Whoever fasts on the day
concerning which there is doubt has disobeyed Abu'l-Qaasim )peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him(." See Question no. 13711.
Al-Haafiz said in Fath al-Baari:
It was understood from this that it is haraam to fast the day of
doubt, because the Sahaabah would not say such a thing based on
personal opinion.
The day of doubt is the thirtieth of Sha'baan if the new moon cannot
be seen because of clouds etc. It is called theday of doubt because it
could be the thirtieth of Sha'baan, or it could be the first day of
Ramadaan. It is haraam to fast on this day, unlessit coincides with a
day on which a person habitually fasts.
Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmoo' )6/400( concerning the ruling onfasting
the day of doubt:
If a person observes a voluntary fast on this day, and he has a
reasonfor doing so, such as having the habit of fasting every day, or
of fasting alternate days, orfasting on particular days such as
Mondays, and it happens to coincide with that day, then it is
permissible for him to fast on this day; there is no difference of
opinion among our companions regarding that. The evidence for that is
the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah: "Do not anticipate Ramadaan by fasting
one or two days before it begins, but if a man habitually fasts, then
let him fast." If he does not have a reason, then it is haraam for
himto fast on this day.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen said in his commentary on the hadeeth "Do not
anticipate Ramadaan by fasting one or two days before it begins…":
The scholars )may Allaah have mercy on them( differed concerning this
prohibition and whetherit meant that this is haraam or makrooh.
Thecorrect view is that it means it is haraam, especially on the day
of doubt.
Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen, 3/394.
Based on this, fasting in the second half of Sha'baan falls into two categories:
1- Fasting from the sixteenth until the twenty-eighth. This is
makrooh, except for those who have a habitual pattern of fasting.
2- Fasting on the day of doubt, or one or two days before Ramadaan
begins. This is haraam, except for one who has a habitual pattern of
fasting.
And Allaah knows best.

Dought & clear - She committed zina with a non-Muslim during the day in Ramadan a few years ago, then she regretted it. What should she do?.

One of my close friends committed zina during the day in Ramadan with
a non-Muslim young man when she was twenty years old. Now she is
twenty-nine and is very sad about what she did. She wants to know what
exactly she should do so that that mistake may be forgiven.
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
There is no doubt that zina )fornication( is a major sin and is
something that incurs the wrath and anger of Allah. If zina was
committed with a non-Muslim, the sin is greater, and if that was
during the day in Ramadan, that is even worse. If the person
whocommitted the sin does not repent sincerely from the bottom of his
heart, then his loss is complete.
Allah, may He be exalted,says )interpretation of the meaning(:
"And those who invoke not any other ilah )god( along with Allah, nor
kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor
commit illegal sexual intercourseand whoever does this shall receive
the punishment.
The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he
will abide therein in disgrace;
Except those who repentand believe )in Islamic Monotheism(, and do
righteous deeds, for those, Allah will change their sins into good
deeds, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
]Al-Furqaan 25:68-70[
"Say: O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves )by
committing evil deeds and sins(! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah,
verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving,Most
Merciful."
]az-Zumar 39:53[.
Despite the abhorrent nature and severity of the sin and the fact that
the one who committed it is exposed to the wrath and anger of Allah,
the mercy of Allah precedes His wrath, so He does not hasten to punish
His slave; rather He opens to him the gateof repentance and gives him
time to repent. If he repents and is sincere, Allah will forgive him,
nomatter what his sin was.
What this young woman must do is be sincere towards Allah in her
repentance, regret having committed this abhorrent action, resolve
never to commit this sin again, and do a lot of righteous deeds. She
should turn to her Lord, thinking positively of Him, being sincere
towards Him and repenting fully to Him. Allah accepts the repentance
of His slaves and grants pardon for bad deeds.
Secondly:
The one who committed zina during the day in Ramadan has to, along
with repenting, make upthat day's fast and offer the severe expiation,
which is to free a slave; if he cannot do that, then he must fast for
two consecutive months;and if he cannot do that,he must feed sixty
poor persons.
See also the answer to question no. 39734
The one who did that several years ago and has not made up the fasts
that he missed also,in addition to the above,has to offer expiation
for delaying the making up of that day's fast, which is to feed one
poor person; the amountto be given is half a saa' of the local staple
food, wheat or rice and so on. That is equivalent to oneand a half
kilograms.
The Standing Committee was asked:
What is the ruling on one who committed zinaduring the day in Ramadan?
That took place at the time when he was ignorant and now he is asking
Allah for forgiveness.
They replied:
The questioner has to repent and must offer expiation, which is to
free a slave; if he cannot do that, then he must fast for two
consecutive months; if he cannot do that, then he has to feed sixty
poor persons. He also has to make up the fast of that day on whichhe
broke the fast, and hehas to offer expiation for the delay in making
up that day's fast, which is one and a half kilograms of wheat.
