A woman must fast during the month of Ramadan just like a man. Only she needs to more carefully monitor her language, not gossip, not swear. We must not forget that the month of Ramadan is the month of cleansing from sins. And the incontinence of our language can spoil our post, says Haji Fuad Nurulla, head of the organizational department of the Caucasian Muslims Office.
“Fasting is allowed not to be observed during pregnancy and lactation, if fasting can harm the health of the mother or the health of the child. In such situations, it is necessary to consult a specialist, the theologian told the Azerbaijani edition of Trend Life. - If the fast harmed the health of the mother, then upon recovery, she should not pay a fine of one mudd (650 grams) of wheat, but if she missed the fast because of the risk of harming the health of the child, then it is necessary to restore the missed days of fasting, and preferably before the next month of Ramadan. If the fast was missed due to the risk of illness of the child, then the woman must pay one mudd for each missed day along with the compensation for the missed fast.
According to Haji Fuad Nurullah, a woman in the month of Ramadan has a chance to receive a special reward from Allah Almighty and His mercy.
” Helping all members of her family to wake up on time so that they have time to eat before the morning prayer, preparing food for iftar for all household members, a woman receives a special mercy from the Almighty. According to legend, if a woman feeds a fasting person, she will receive the same reward as this fasting person will receive.
With all the abundance of literature on Muslim fasting, articles and books, some aspects of the features of women's fasting remain open. To clarify them, Trend Life turned to the akhund of the Teze Pir mosque, Haji Faiz Nagizade.
- Is it possible for a fasting woman to put on make-up and perfume herself with incense?
It is not forbidden, but it is better to refrain. In principle, a woman can always make up, perfume and wear jewelry, but only for the sake of her husband, and not in order to attract the attention of other men. By the way, during fasting, a woman is released from fasting for some days due to natural circumstances (“critical days”), but must compensate for these days after the Ramadan holiday.
- Is it possible for a housewife or a cook to taste food while cooking?
You can taste food, but do not swallow it, but spit it out. If the food is swallowed out of forgetfulness or unconsciously, then the orudzh is not considered interrupted.
Some couples categorically refuse intimate relationships during the month of Ramadan. Is it correct?
Naturally, this time of fasting is unacceptable, but after the evening conversation until the morning prayer, intimate relationships are allowed, but with the condition of complete ablution before the morning prayer.”
Common mistakes women make while fasting
1. Some women do not adhere to the recommended actions and commemorations that should be said before and after the obligatory prayer, and are limited only to the obligatory prayers themselves, and sometimes they read them hastily and without due reverence.
2. Some women break the fast as soon as they feel that menstrual blood is coming, but not seeing it, which is wrong.
3. Some women mistakenly think that it is forbidden to taste food during fasting.
4. Some women believe that if they are cleansed of bleeding after menstruation or childbirth, fasting does not count until they perform a full bath.
5. Some women are kept from contact with their husband at night under the pretext that sexual intimacy is completely prohibited in Ramadan, but this is not true: intimacy is allowed at night until dawn.
6. Some women often get angry, are quick-tempered, scream at the slightest provocation, beat children, scold and even curse them; if you ask them why they are so angry, they refer to the post; but this is wrong, for fasting humbles the soul and teaches patience.
7. Some women spend most of their time in the kitchen, often missing prayer because of it.
8. Some women deliberately go shopping often, thus spending time after breaking the fast, shopping and attending parties held outside the home.
9. Some women do not force their daughters to fast when they reach menstrual maturity; they pass the days of Ramadan without fasting, on the pretext that they are still small and fasting might tire them.
10. Some women force children (boys and girls) who have reached the age of ten to give up fasting under the pretext that they need to take exams, etc.
It is not easy to fast all day without water and drink. The first days of the uraza are especially difficult. How to prepare for uraza? How to train the body? In the presence of what diseases it is impossible to fast? What are the benefits of uraza from the point of view of medicine? Rustam Fakhertdinov, deputy chief physician of the Republican Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital, a doctor who has been fasting for 15 years, answers these and other questions.
- Rustam Khamitovich, who is not allowed to fast?
From the point of view of Islam, minor children, the elderly, pregnant women and nursing mothers can not fast. But from the point of view of medicine, it is impossible to keep an eye on complex forms of diseases - diabetes, stomach ulcers, chronic heart failure, ischemia, vascular disease, thrombosis. Pregnant women can be postponed to a later date. And those who do not have the opportunity to fast or it is impossible for health reasons can feed one needy every day, that is, give sadaqa fidia.
Compliance with uraza is stress for the body. How and when should you start preparing for fasting so that you don’t have to become a burden?
In Islam, in addition to the uraza of Ramadan, there is an additional post of nafl. Our prophet held an uraza every Monday and Thursday. To accustom the body, you can keep a few days of fasting at the beginning of the month of Ramadan. A person must conditionally divide the stomach into three parts, and not only during fasting. This is the Sunnah of the Prophet. One part is for food, the second is for water and the third is for air. Our food culture is often such that we get up from the table, having eaten to satiety. The information that the body has eaten reaches the brain only 20-30 minutes after eating. And during these half an hour a person can eat a lot of things. Then, of course, he regrets it. Therefore, you need to get up from the table, not fully sated. This is the way to prepare the body for stress.
Some, as directed by the doctor, must take the medicine three times a day. Is it possible to change the time of taking the drug during uraza?
It depends on the illness. Some medications may be taken twice a day. This year, Uraza falls in the summer, when the days are long. It may turn out that the drugs can be taken once a day. And if the patient cannot skip the medication, then you can move the uraza to the time when the days will be shorter.
In our area, fasting people have to not eat or drink for 18-19 hours. What tips should be taken into account so as not to weaken?
A person should consume at least two liters of water per day. A fasting person needs to drink so much water after iftar. Of course, not immediately. If the body does not need fluid, it will not weaken. On hot days, you need to drink even more. Mineral waters are especially useful. Because in the heat we lose a lot of salt through sweat. To keep the water-salt metabolism in balance, you can take a complex of minerals and vitamins during uraza. Water is especially needed. Thirst will also be reflected in the activity of the heart and blood vessels: the blood thickens, blood clots may occur. During suhoor, you must eat or at least drink water. Our Prophet also spoke about the benefits of suhoor.
- What is the best way to eat in order to save strength during the day and not want to eat and drink?
As for drinks, drink the same as you used to urazy. If you used to drink black tea, then you do not need to switch to green, or vice versa. Our brain and muscles need glucose. Therefore, eat foods with carbohydrates. But it should not be fast carbohydrates - sugar and sweets, they only do harm. You need to eat fruits rich in glucose. After iftar, you can start your meal with dates or raisins. First or second courses - there is no difference. The main thing is not to jump on food abruptly after iftar. This is stress for the body and creates heaviness in the stomach. It is not for nothing that during iftar they take a sip of water or eat one date and immediately leave to read namaz. You need to get used to eating a little before the morning suhoor.
Some feel the benefits of coffee. But he, although he satisfies the feeling of hunger, causes thirst. Can you drink coffee while fasting?
Coffee is both a healthy and harmful drink at the same time. If the body is weakened, then it will aggravate the condition. As a neurologist, I can say one thing: among the nerve nodes emanating from the brain, there are special connections - synapses. There are neurotransmitters - they transmit an impulse from one nerve cell to another. Coffee stimulates the work of these mediators. And then the person wakes up and begins to feel good. If a person is without strength, then there are so few mediators. The body cannot recover, and after drinking coffee, a person, on the contrary, loses strength.
- How to start the first day of fasting in order to organize it correctly?
I myself try to take a vacation with the beginning of the Uraza. I'm also going on vacation this year. Someone can probably take a day off from work that day.
In fact, the first day of uraza is the time of adaptation of the body, stress. But it's useful stress. Recently I read the words of the head of the laboratory of neurobiology of the National Institute for Aging Problems of the USA, Mark Mattson. He writes that short-term fasting is good for nerve cells. Cells experience stress, during starvation ketones are formed, they contribute to the production of energy stations in cells - mitochondria. They, in turn, improve memory. This specialist believes that short-term fasting is useful in order to prevent Alzheimer's disease. I also recently read about research by biologists at the University of Massachusetts. They write that fasting for 24-48 hours is good for the intestines.
Any stress can be beneficial. Our grandparents could not afford to eat as much as we eat now. And what a lifespan! They have not eaten all their lives, and the body was constantly in a state of stress. Uraza is a rest for the stomach, pancreas, intestines. Such breaks are necessary and important for our body.
Is it bad to fast during the day and eat at night? Many people fear that eating before bed leads to obesity.
I have already said about this - you do not need to eat up. After two or three days, the body is already getting used to this regimen and does not ask for a lot of food. Of course, if you eat a lot, you can put on weight during the break. I know such cases.
According to the hazrats, the body needs three days to get used to fasting. What does medicine say about this?
Yes, it takes two or three days. Personally, one day is enough for me to get used to it. The body can become accustomed to everything, the Almighty has conceived it this way. A person often wants not to eat, but to drink. Especially in the heat. During fasting, the body begins to use its reserves - glycogen.
- How to prepare yourself before uraza, so as not to abruptly stop the work of the body?
For two weeks, you can refuse lunch and replace it with water. You can reduce portions of food and drink water instead.
Does a woman fast during haida and nifaas (menstrual and postpartum bleeding)?
No, if a woman fasts during such conditions, she will be in sin.
Should a woman make up fasting days missed due to hayd and nifas (menstrual and postpartum bleeding)?
Yes, in a hadith narrated from Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, it is reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said that women do not need to make up prayers missed during menstruation, but they need to make up fasting days missed for this reason ( Y'lyaus-Sunan, vol. 1, p. 372)
Does the day of fasting count if a woman has her menstruation a few minutes before the evening adhan?
If the cycle began only after sunset, then the fast is considered valid.
Does a day of fasting count if a woman has a cycle immediately after breaking the fast before night prayer?
If the cycle began only after sunset, then the fast is considered valid.
What to do if the menstrual cycle began during the uraza?
You need to break your post. A hadeeth narrated by Abu Saeed al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) states: “Does she not leave prayer and fasting when she begins her period?” (Al-Bukhari, No. 1951, Muslim No. 889). After the menstrual period, it will be necessary to make up for the missed days of fasting.
Is it advisable for a woman who is having her period to abstain from eating during the Ramadan fast?
In this state, a woman should not abstain from food and water, but she should show respect for those who fast during the month of Ramadan.
Should a woman fast if she cleared her menstruation immediately after the morning prayer?
Will this day of fasting be counted? A woman can fast, but this day of fasting will not be counted.
Should a woman make up the day of fasting if she cleared her menstruation before the very morning prayer?

Should a woman make up the day of fasting if she cleansed herself of menstruation before the morning prayer, and bathed after praying?
Should a woman make up the day of fasting if she cleansed herself of menstruation and bathed only after the morning prayer, having performed a prayer, and continued to fast?
There is nothing wrong with this if a woman bathed only after the morning prayer.
Should a woman fast on the day when her menstruation suddenly stopped before the morning azan, but she did not get up for suhoor?
If, waking up, she did nothing that could break the fast, then if desired, you can make an intention according to the madhhab of Imam Abu Hanifa. In this case, the intention can be made even an hour before the time of the lunch prayer. If she makes such an intention and fasts until the end of the day, then her fast will be valid and will not have to be reimbursed.
What should a pregnant or breastfeeding woman do during fasting?
If a pregnant or breastfeeding woman thinks that fasting may harm her and her baby, then she may refrain from fasting and make up for it later. Pregnant and lactating women should consult a doctor (preferably a Muslim) to see if fasting will harm them and their baby. It must be borne in mind that if a woman keeps a fast in such a state and subsequently it turns out that her health or the health of a child has deteriorated from fasting, she will be in sin.
If a woman vomited due to pregnancy, is the fast broken?
If vomiting happened involuntarily, then fasting is not violated.
Should a pregnant woman break her fast and prayer if she saw blood a day or two before giving birth, while not yet suffering?
If a woman does not yet experience suffering (difficulties), such blood is considered dirty, but not related to generic cleansing. In this case, the woman is obligated to pray and can fast.
Can I take special hormonal preparations that delay the onset of the monthly cycle in order to keep fasting the entire Ramadan in a row, without a break?
This is acceptable, but considered undesirable. Taking these medicines can have side effects and lead to problems with prayer (or Hajj and Umrah) in the future. Moreover, these drugs are not harmless from a medical point of view. Allah has ordained humility for the daughters of Adam: fast when nothing hinders you, but if something makes you difficult, then break your fast with what Allah is pleased and commanded, praise be to Him.
Should a woman in labor keep fasting if she is cleansed before the expiration of 40 days?
Yes, if a woman is clean in the month of Ramadan, then she must fast, and her fast will be valid. There is nothing that prevents her from fasting, praying and having intimacy with her husband outside of fasting.
Is it possible to breastfeed a child during fasting?
Yes, it is allowed, breastfeeding does not affect the validity of the fast. However, it is important that fasting does not harm the condition of the woman or child.
Should a woman in labor keep a fast if postpartum blood lasts more than sixty days?
In this case, the woman is obliged to refrain from worship for another regular period of the cycle, and then it is necessary to bathe and stand in prayer. If blood remains, you should consult a doctor, as this may be associated with an illness.
Will fasting be valid if a woman has small drops of blood on non-cycle days?
Even if then these sweat drops continue throughout the month of Ramadan, the fast is considered valid. As Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “Drops that look like bleeding from the nose are not menstruation.” White, yellow, cloudy discharge or a drop (perspiration) is not menstruation.
Will the post of the day be full-fledged if a woman sees blood, but is not sure that it is menstruation?
The fast is valid until it is known that this is the beginning of a cycle. If this discharge was the beginning of menstruation, this day will need to be replenished.
Is it permissible for a woman to fast on the day she has a miscarriage?
In the event that the fetus is not formed, the blood is not postpartum cleansing (nifas) and the woman can pray and fast, and her fast will be valid. According to scientists, the fetus will die in 81 days. A miscarriage before 80 days is considered dirty blood, because of which a woman should not leave prayer and fasting.
Can a woman who has constant discharge keep fasting in Ramadan?
A woman who has constant bleeding due to illness breaks prayer and fasting for the time at which she used to have a cycle. After counting the days of the cycle, the woman is obliged to bathe, stand in prayer and fast. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered women who suffer from continuous discharge to renew ablution after each prayer.
If a pregnant woman bleeds on the day of Ramadan, how does this affect her fast?
If a woman is sure that this is not menstruation, then her fast is not violated. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “A woman who is menstruating does not perform prayer and does not keep fast.”
What to do in a situation when during the menstruation cycle the blood stopped and did not appear for a whole day?
If this cleansing (blood) is connected with the cycle, then this is not considered the final cleansing, and therefore everything that is forbidden to women during menstruation is forbidden to a woman.
Should a woman start fasting if she does not have white discharge at the end of the cycle?
If a woman usually determines the end of her period by white discharge, she should refrain from fasting for the entire cycle. If a woman usually does not have such secretions in the last days of menstruation and there is no more blood, she must fast.
Can a woman visit a gynecologist or use drugs that are administered through intimate organs (candles and the like)?
Since the sexual organs are not connected with the digestive system, the introduction of medicines or an instrument moistened with medicine into the intimate organs does not break the fast. Therefore, a visit to a doctor or the introduction of medicines into intimate organs does not violate fasting.
If a woman gets her period while fasting, can she eat? Or vice versa, what should she do if her period stops during the day of fasting? Would her post be valid in that case?
If menstruation began during fasting, you can eat, but you should try to do it in such a way that fasting people do not see it. She will need to make up this day of fasting after Ramadan (even if her period began a few minutes before iftar). If a woman, on the contrary, runs out of her period during daylight hours (when fasting is obligatory), she should fast until the end of the day out of respect for Ramadan, although this day will still need to be replenished after.
What to do during the fast of a nursing mother?
It is permissible for a woman who is pregnant or nursing not to fast if she fears for herself or for her child. Our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Allah has eased the duty of fasting and part of the prayer for the traveler and He has eased the duty of fasting for pregnant and lactating women” (at-Tirmidhi, 3/85)
The reader is invited to translate the answer to the question regarding eating during the morning azan during fasting, from the site of the sheikh Muhammad Salih al-Munajid islam-qa.com
Question :
What is the ruling on taking food [during the month of Ramadan] by those who are fasting during the morning azan? And how to understand the hadith of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: “If the time for prayer comes, and in the hand of one of you there is [dishes with food], then let him not put it down until he fulfills his need”?
Answer :
All praise belongs to Allah!
Firstly: The hadeeth mentioned by the questioner is not given in this form. Its correct form is: Transmitted from Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “If one of you hears the call to prayer, and at that time there is a dish [with food] in his hand, then let him not put her until he fulfills his need.” Hadith led Ahmad (10251), Abu Daoud(2350), as well as the sheikh al-Albani called it authentic in Sahih Abu Dawud. The explanation of this hadeeth by the scholars will come later.
Secondly: A fasting person in the month of Ramadan must refrain from eating from the time of true dawn until sunset. Thus, abstinence [from everything that breaks the fast] begins at dawn, and not with the adhan. Allah Almighty said: (Sura “The Cow”, ayat 187). Anyone who will know without a doubt about the onset of dawn must abstain from food. If he has food in his mouth, then he needs to remove it, otherwise his fast will be broken along with food getting inside.
The same person who does not know exactly about the onset of dawn can eat until he is completely sure. Also [you can continue to eat] if he knows that the muezzin calls to prayer ahead of time, or if there is doubt about whether he calls to prayer on time or ahead of time. In such a situation, he can continue to eat, but it is preferable to stop from the moment he hears the adhan.
With regard to the mentioned hadith, the scholars explained that the muezzin in this case called for prayer before dawn.
Imam An-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said in the book "Majmu'": "We mentioned that a person who learns about the dawn while he has food in his mouth should spit it out and continue fasting. If he swallows it, knowing about the dawn, then his fast will be broken. There is no disagreement on this. The evidence for this is a hadith narrated from Ibn Umar And Aisha may Allah be pleased with them, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “Indeed Bilal calls to prayer at night [that is, before the time of prayer], so eat and drink until he calls to prayer Ibn Umm Maktoum". Hadith narrated al-Bukhari And Muslim, and there are other hadiths in Sahih with a similar meaning.
As for the tradition from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “If any of you hears the call to prayer, and at that time there is a dish [with food] in his hand, then let him not put it until he fulfills his need, ”and in another legend:“ The muezzin called to prayer at dawn, ”the first of them conveyed to the imam Hakim and said: "This is an authentic hadeeth according to the conditions of Muslim." These two hadiths were also narrated Bayhaks and said: “This means, as most of the scholars say, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) knew that he called for prayer before the prayer time, so that the drink was obtained shortly before dawn.” He said: “As for the words “at dawn”, then there is a possibility that these words were not the words of Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, and also that this tradition speaks of the second adhan. Thus, it turns out that the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: “If one of you hears the call to prayer, and at that time there is a dish [with food] in his hand, then let him not put it down until he does it. their need” narrate about the first adhan and correspond to the hadiths transmitted by Ibn Umar and Aisha, may Allah be pleased with both of them. He said: “On this, the meanings of the hadiths coincide. All help is from Allah and He knows best!”
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, mentioned in the book "Tahdhibu s-sunan" that some righteous predecessors followed the explicit meaning of the hadith given in the question and allowed to eat and drink during the morning adhan [in the month of Ramadan]. He then said: “Most scholars (jumhur) believe that the time of suhoor ends at dawn. This is the opinion of the four imams and the majority of Islamic jurists. The same opinion is narrated from Umar and Ibn Abbas May Allah be pleased with them. Their argument is the hadith of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: “... eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum calls for prayer. And he did not call to prayer, except after dawn," al-Bukhari reports. Some other versions say: “He was a blind man and did not call to prayer until he was told: “Dawn has come! Dawn has come!" And also Jumkhur took the words of Allah Almighty as an argument: “Eat and drink until you can tell the white thread of dawn from the black, then fast until night.”, as well as the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: “eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum calls for prayer”, as well as his words: “Dawn is of two types. As for the first of them, it does not forbid eating food and does not allow the performance of the [morning] prayer. As for the second of them, it forbids eating and allows prayer. Narrated by Baihaki in the book "Sunan".
Traditions have come down to us from some righteous predecessors, which indicate the permissibility of taking food by fasting until he is convinced of the dawn. Ibn Hazm, may Allah have mercy on him, gave a number of such traditions. Of these: "What Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “If two people doubt the coming of dawn, then let them eat until they are convinced of it.”
It is transmitted from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him: “Allah allowed you to drink water when you are in doubt, that is, at dawn ...”.
It is transmitted that Makhul, may Allah have mercy on him, said: “I saw how Ibn Umar took a bucket of Zamzam water and said to two men:“ Has the dawn come? One of them said "Yes" and the other said "No". Then Ibn Umar drank the water."
Ibn Hazm commented on the hadith that was given in the question, as well as similar traditions in this way: "All this indicates that they were not convinced of the dawn and so the hadiths agree with the Qur'an" (See the book "Al-Mahalla » 4\367).
There is no doubt that most muezzins today rely on clocks and ruznam rather than seeing the dawn. This is not considered a belief [yakyn] that the dawn has come and the fast of the one who will eat at this time will be valid. Although it is better and safer to refrain from eating.
Sheikh Ibn Baza, may Allah have mercy on him, they asked: “What is the Sharia ruling regarding the fast of the person who continued to eat food after hearing the adhan?” And he replied: “The believer needs to refrain from accepting that which breaks the fast, like food and drink, when it becomes clear to him that dawn has come, if his fast is obligatory, like fasting in the month of Ramadan, post-vow or post-fine ( kafarat). Allah Almighty said: “Eat and drink until you can tell the white thread of dawn from the black, then fast until night.”(Sura "The Cow", ayat 187). So, if he hears the azan and knows that this azan happens exactly at the time of dawn, then he needs to stop eating. If the muezzin calls for prayer before dawn, then he does not have to stop eating and you can eat and drink until he is convinced of the dawn.
If he does not know whether the muezzin calls for prayer before the prayer or after it, then it is better and more reliable to stop eating, however, if he drinks water or eats something during the azan, then this will not harm him, since he does not know about the dawn.
It is known that those who live in cities illuminated by electric lamps are not able to know with the naked eye about the exact onset of dawn, therefore it is advisable for him to warn himself [from falling into error] by following the adhan and the schedule of prayers, which indicate the time of dawn by the hour and minutes, following the hadith of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: “Leave what causes you doubts and take on what does not cause you doubts,” as well as the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him: “He who will beware of the doubtful, he will keep his religion and honor. Allah is the possessor of help!”
Sheikh was also asked Ibn Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy on him: “You said, may Allah preserve you, that it is necessary to complete the meal immediately after a person hears the adhan. However, for several years now, some people continue to eat until the end of the adhan. What is the ruling of their action?” He replied: “Azan for morning prayer happens either before dawn or after it. If it is after him, then it is necessary to stop eating immediately after the person hears the adhan, as the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “Truly, Bilal calls for prayer at night [that is, before the prayer time], so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum calls to prayer. Truly, he does not call to prayer until dawn comes. If you know that the muezzin does not call for prayer except after the prayer time has come, then immediately stop eating at the sound of the adhan. If the muezzin calls for prayer based on the schedule of prayers or on time, then the matter is easier in this case.
Based on this, we will say to the questioner: You do not have to make up for what has already passed, because you were not convinced that you were eating after dawn. However, in the future, a person needs to warn himself and stop eating when he hears the muezzin” (See the book Fatawa Ramadan, p. 204).
Also, the Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said, paying attention to what they say about the schedule of prayers and its inaccuracy:“Some people are throwing doubts about the accuracy of the prayer schedule we have. They say, “It [the prayer schedule] is ahead of the dawn. We went out into the desert and there were no light lamps around us, and we saw that the dawn was later than [the time specified in the schedule].” Some of them exaggerated and said that the dawn is a third of an hour later.
However, it is certain that this is an incorrect exaggeration. What is becoming clear to us is that the schedule that people have now is ahead of dawn by five minutes in particular. That is, if you eat while he calls for prayer according to the schedule, then there is no problem in this, except for the case when the muezzin is careful not to make a mistake and calls to prayer a little later. Some muezzins (may Allah reward them well) are careful and do not call to prayer except after five minutes have passed from the time of the schedule. And some ignorant muezzins give the morning azan ahead of time, thinking that it is more reliable for fasting. However, they forget that they are being careless about what is more important than fasting, which is the morning prayer. Perhaps someone will perform the morning prayer ahead of time, relying on their azan. And if a person performs a prayer ahead of time, even with an introductory takbir, then his prayer will not be counted. (See Ibn Uthaymeen's Collection of Fatwas, question no. 772).
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim lunar calendar and is one of the four holy months. It is during Ramadan that a rather strict fast of Uraz is observed. Fasting is one of the main five pillars of Islam, so all believers must hold Uraza. This fast is obligatory for all Muslims over the age of twelve. There are, of course, some exceptions to the rules that allow you not to keep the fast or make it less rigid and limited. Such exceptions include, for example, pregnancy, illness or advanced old age. But it is worth talking separately about how to properly hold Uraza for a woman so that fasting is beneficial not only in spiritual and religious terms, but also in terms of health. After all, fasting, in fact, is the same, only longer-term, so you need to monitor the state of your body so that the “nutrition shake-up” does it good, not harm.
How to keep the Uraz fast for women?
The main specificity of the Muslim fasting of Uraza is that the quantitative or qualitative composition of food is absolutely not regulated, that is, absolutely any food can be eaten, of course, still mindful of moderation. The most important role is played exclusively by the time of eating. During Uraza, every day from sunrise to sunset, Muslims do not eat anything. Also at this time, they refrain from intimacy. After sunset and before sunrise, it is allowed to eat any food. Intimacy during the dark hours of the day is also permitted, although some, especially strict believers, prefer to completely refrain from any sexual contact for the entire thirty-day fasting period.
According to Muslim traditions, it is customary for large families to gather after sunset to taste a variety of delicious dishes after a day of fasting. Since these dishes are prepared during the daytime by women, they are, of course, allowed to taste the food while it is being prepared. Men are strictly prohibited.
In general, during Uraza it is forbidden to drink alcohol, smoke, take any medications other than those that must be taken daily, for example, insulin, and so on. For women, in addition to this list, there are also separate restrictions and recommendations. For example, during Uraza, one should refrain from makeup, perfumes and jewelry. Bright makeup or too strong a fragrance coming from a woman is considered a violation of the fast.
Separately, it is worth mentioning about. If the cycle time falls on Uraza, then on these days a woman can temporarily refrain from fasting, but then these days will have to be, so to speak, “worked out”, adding them to the original thirty days.
When should a woman not hold Uraza?
Although for many believers their religious rules are above all else, one should not forget about the importance of their physical condition and health. This is especially important for women, as for the successors of the family.
Since Uraza is still a rather tough fast with a long fasting time, then to the question of whether it is possible for a pregnant woman to keep Uraza, the answer is unequivocal: no. 
In general, fasting for preventive purposes is very useful for the body, as it is a kind of shake-up. But the body of a pregnant woman needs twice as much nutrients, so such a long hunger strike can have the worst effect on both the health of the woman and the health of the unborn child.
This also applies to whether Urazu can be kept by a nursing woman. Since a mother needs to get a variety of nutrients during breastfeeding in order to have milk and be healthy for her baby, prolonged fasting is contraindicated at this time. They can lead to the loss of milk. Or it simply will not contain the nutrients needed by the child.
