Rules for Ramadan
by Mufti Muhammad Shafi Usmani (r.a)
Translated by Moulana Muhammad ibn Moulana Haroon Abassoomar

 

Factors that make the fast Makruh but do not nullify it

1) To unnecessarily chew on something. To taste salt and spit it out. To clean or brush one’s teeth with toothpaste is also makrūh

2)To remain the entire day in the state of Janābah (in need of an obligatory bath).

3)To extract blood from the veins. This includes blood donations.

4)Backbiting (to speak of the faults of someone in his absence). Although this is harām in all conditions, however the sin is more severe whilst one is fasting.

5)To argue, swear or fight with someone. Whether it is a human, an animal or any lifeless object. This also renders the fast as makrūh.

The famous Tabi'ee, imam Abul 'Aliyah (r.a.) says: "A fasting person is in the constant worship of Allah Ta'ala even while he is asleep, as long as he does not backbite anyone (or commit any other sin)" (Lataiful ma'arif, pg.224)
