[ The topics of fasting and its issues in general ]Let us, God willing, in this section mention the legal provisions of fasting, its consequences, its consequences, its types, obligatory and recommended, as we mentioned in what preceded from its sisters of zakat and prayer in general and in particular on their classes in that. So, when we have finished talking about the rulings of the issue that we mention in that, we will move on to speaking in the language of the elite and their conclusion on fasting the soul as it commands the prey, which is to hold it from what has been imposed on it in an issue and to rise above that and on the fasting of the heart described as the capacity for divine descent where Almighty said, the heart of my servant is sufficient for me So we talk about his fast, which is his holding this capacity for someone other than his creator to live on it, because her life is someone other than his creator, so he broke his fast in the time when he must be fasting in preference to his Lord, a matter of an issue, and talking about the total of the things that break the fast in the type of each fast on short and close, for it is a long chapter and I will mention in this section from The prophetic news is what it stands for, God willing ( Arrived in the chapter on the division of fasting ) [ Types of obligatory fasting ]Know that the prescribed fasting is obligatory and some of it is delegated to it. There are three types of it that must be obligatory by God Almighty initially, which is fasting in the month of Ramadan in which the Qur an was revealed, i.e. in his fasting or a number of other days in the case of the traveler who breaks his fast or does not break his fast with us and with others if he breaks his fast. The right of the sick person, and from it is what is obligatory for a compelling reason, which is the fasting of expiations, and from it is what is obligatory from God, with what man has enjoined upon himself, and it is not disliked, and it is the fasting of vows, for it is extracted from the miser, and there is an obligation other than what we have mentioned. [ Types of delegated fasting ]As for the recommended, it includes that which adheres to the desired time, such as fasting the white days, Mondays and Thursdays, and the like of days and months, and some of it is restricted to the situation, such as fasting one day and breaking the fast on the day, which is the most just fasting, and fasting for the sake of God. ( It arrived in the season of obligatory fasting, which is the month of Ramadan for those who witnessed it ) So let us present the mention of Ramadan, and after that we will talk about the rulings on its fasting Muslim came out from the hadith of Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained up. An-Nasa i added in his book, and a caller called out every night, O seeker of goodness, come, and O seeker of evil, hold. Narrated by Al-Nasa i on the authority of Arfajah, on the authority of a man of the Prophet s companions, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, on the authority of the Prophet, may God s prayers and peace be upon him. [ The advent of Ramadan and the opening of the gates of Heaven ]When the advent of Ramadan was a reason for the initiation of fasting, God opened the gates of Paradise and Paradise covered, and fasting entered into a hidden action that only God Almighty knows about, because it was left and not by an existential act, so it appears to the sight or works with the limbs. Allah, the Most High, and the fasting person whom the Shariah called a fasting person, not a hungry one [ The advent of Ramadan and the closing of the gates of Hellfire ]And God closes the doors of fire, and if the doors of fire are closed, it returns itself to it, so its heat increases on it and eats each other. Likewise, the fasting person, according to the rule of his nature, if he fasts, closes the doors of his nature, and he finds in fasting excessive heat by not using refreshments, and he finds the pain of that in his soul, and his desire for food that he imagines comfort to be increased, so the fire of his desire becomes stronger. Close the door to eating and drinking [ The advent of Ramadan and the chaining of the devils ]And the devils are chained up, which is an attribute of remoteness, so the fasting person is close to God with the attribute of steadfastness. It has been reported in the report that Satan flows from the son of Adam through the flow of blood, spoiling its flow through hunger and thirst Any of these reasons are specific to him over what he wants from a person to act out of curiosity, which is what exceeds the lawful act [ Ramadan is one of the names of God Almighty .]Then know that God taught you from Himself knowledge and made for you wisdom and judgment in every matter. Ramadan is one of the names of God Almighty, and it is the Samad. The prophetic news of this was narrated by Ahmad bin Adi Al-Jarjani from the hadith of Najih Abi Ma shar on the authority of Saeed Al-Maqbari on the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not say Ramadan, for Ramadan is one of the names of God Almighty.
