Fiqh Of Ramadan

In 2020, Ramadan will be from 13/14 April to 11/12 May 2021. It is the most sacred month of the year for all muslims as the Qur’an was revealed in this month
“Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Quran, as a guide to mankind, also clear (signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting.” (Al-Baqara 2:185)
Muslims around the globe fast from before sunrise until sunset, abstaining from eating, drinking or engaging in sexual relations. Young children before reaching the age of puberty, pregnant women, the sick and travellers and people with severe medical conditions are exempt from fasting
Ramadan is a spiritual journey where muslims around the globe increase in acts of worship such as prayers, giving charity and strengthening relationships and family ties.
Aside from fasting, Muslims observing Ramadan also increase in spiritual devotional acts such as prayer, giving charity and strengthening family ties. Muslims, are encouraged to share their food with friends, family and neighbours and to reach out to those who may be fasting alone, to share their Ramadan experiences.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Muslims will face a very different experience in the month of Ramadan. A good structured plan and tips should be considered which will able Muslims to maximise their time in Ramadan.
