  • Unfortunately, a number of years ago I was involved in a sin which I later found out also breaks a fast. I have no idea how many fasts were broken by this sin as I never use to commit the sin on a daily basis. It is only now that I have thought about making up for these fasts. Please can you tell me how many fasts I should keep outside ramadhan in order to make up for the broken fasts? Alhamdulliah with the tawfeeq of Allah I haven’t been involved in this sin for the past few years. Will my fasts of ramadhan from the past few years been affected because I have some missed fasts to my name.

  • I want to ask about this justification which I use based on understanding of some Ulema and majorly my own understanding, which I think could be wrong too, but if Ulema of Sunni Path concur then Insha ALLAH I will stick to it firmly, its about Riba and I want it to be clarified because Insha ALLAH I would be getting into Business field very soon. If a Bank gives you Service and takes a certain amount of money from you then would it be considered as Riba? Like for instance I am a Bank who says to Person X that I will secure your money of Rs 10,000 for the time period of 1 year and in return I take a calculated and fixed amount of money say for example Rs 1000, would this be considered as Riba? My Second Question is regarding Loan, for instance I take loan of Rs 10,000 from a Bank and the Bank says it will charge me Only Rs 1000 at the end of tenor and I will have to return the money in any case even if my business goes in loss would that be considered as Riba?, because usually what happens in Pakistan is that you have to payback the loan with interest so kindly distinguish between these 2 kind of situations.

  • In the areas that are situated on extreme latitudes, you mentioned that there are four methods of calculating the times for the Eisha and Fajr prayers. How would these times be used for fasting in Ramadan? It seems that any of the methodologies enumerated could result in 20+ hour fasts, which does not seem reasonable for an entire month of fasting. It may become very difficult for one to fast for 20 hours and more.
