Fast nullifiers
First and Second: Eating and Drinking
If a person breaks his fast by eating or drinking due to a valid reason,
such as an illness or travelling for example, he only needs to make up
his fast (without any extra expiation). There would be no sin on him in
that case. However, if he breaks his fast by eating and drinking without
a valid excuse, he has fallen in a great sin. Nonetheless, he should still
make up those fasts.
If anything reaches the stomach via the nose, this is like eating or
drinking .
Hence the Prophet said: Snuff up water deeply into the
nose (when doing wudoo), except when you are fasting. Narrated by
al-Tirmidhi,788. If water reaching the stomach via the nose did not
invalidate the fast, the Prophet would not have told
those who are fasting not to snuff up water deeply into the nose.
Anything that is similar to eating and drinking also breaks the fast. This
includes:
1- Transfusion of blood to one who is fasting such as if he
bleeds heavily and is given a blood transfusion. This invalidates
the fast because blood is formed from food and drink.
2- Receiving via a needle (as in the case of a drip) nourishing
substances which take the place of food and drink, because this
is the same as food and drink. Shaykh Ibn Uthaymin, Majalis
Shahr Ramadan, p/ 70.
With regard to injections which do not replace food and drink, rather
they are administered for the purpose of medical treatment such as
penicillin or insulin or are given to energize the body, or for the
purpose of vaccinations, these do not affect the fast, whether they are
intravenous or intramuscular (injected into a vein or a muscle). Fatawa

Verily we have revealed this (Quran) in the Night of Power. And What
will inform you about the Night of Power. The Night of Power is
better than a thousand months. The Angels and the Ruh descend in it
by the permission of their Lord with all decrees. (All night) there is
peace until dawn. [AlQadr: 1-5]
It is a night when the Angels descend, a night of peace and a night
when the destiny of Mankind for the next year is sent down.

In it, all matters are ordained. [Ad-Dukhan: 4]
When is Laylatul-Qadr?
Its signs:
o Greater signs: The sun comes out without any rays and the
moon is like a half plate of silver [Muslim (No. 762)]. The
weather is neither hot nor cold. There are very few clouds
in the sky and very little wind. [Authentic, Ibn Khuzaimah
(No. 2190-2193)]
o Lesser signs: dogs don't bark, donkeys doesn't bray, cocks
crow a lot.
o It may be that Allah shows it to some people in their
dreams.

And do not fondle them whilst you are in Itikaf in the mosques.
[AlBaqarah: 187]
If one must break his Itikaf qada is not wajib on him but
recommended since the Prophet once broke his
Itikaf in Ramadan and made it up in Shawwal.
[See AlBukhari (No. 2033) and Muslim (No. 1172)]

Zakatul-Fitr
Levied upon all able Muslims: the father for his family, the host for
his guest, the master for the slave, upon those who fasted and those
who didn't fast.
Can it be given to others who act as an agent for you to give to the
poor? Yes, however the obligation is not fulfilled until it is given to
the poor.
Eid prayer
On Eid day eat 3 dates after fajr, wear best clothes, make sure
zakatul-fitr is given, go in one way and come back thru another,
give a lot of charity.
