Ramadhaan - Q & A [ PART 2 ] WET DREAM During Ramdhan, if one has a wet dream (self relief during sleep), is the fast valid? If one has a wet dream during fasting, the fast is still valid. MENSES 1. If a female gets her period during her fast, can she break the fast right away or she has to wait till the end? If a female gets her periods during fasting, she may eat immediately thereafter. However, she should not do so in public and in the presence of other fasting people. 2. A female starts menstruating while fasting. What if she stops menstruating during fasting? How should she conduct herself? If her menses commenced while fasting, she can eat (not in public). If her menses stopped while fasting, she should abstain from eating, drinking, etc. but (in both instances) make up for the day by keeping a Qadhaa fast after Ramadaan. (Aalamgiri vol.1 pg.214; Rashidiyya) BATHING WHILST FASTING I've been told not to take bath when I'm fasting,either before fasting or after iftar I can take a bath.Please tell me whether this is true. It is permissible to take a bath while fasting. The information given to you is incorrect. PREGNANCY & POST BIRTH 1. Is a pregnant woman or one who has just delivered, permitted to fast in the month of Ramadhaan? The fast of a pregnant woman is valid. However, due to weakness during pregnancy, she is exempt from fasting. After delivery of the baby, during Nifaas (bleeding after birth), she cannot fast. 2. A woman delivered a baby about a month ago through a ceassarean operation. The doctor said that the operation wound may take upto 6 months to recover. She is also breast-feeding the baby. She has been adviced to keep herself healthy with proper intake of food. Since Ramadan is commencing after 1 month, is it permissible for her to miss her fasts in the month of Ramadan and make up for it later. Please advice. Allah Ta ala says in the Qur aan, If a person is sick (whilst in Ramadhaan) or on a journey, then complete fast on other days (besides Ramadhaan). If by not eating there is harm feared to either the woman or her child, it will be permissible for her to continue eating and keep Qadhaa of Ramadhaan whenever she is able to.
