Q: Does an injection invalidate one’s fast?

A: No, it does not invalidate one’s fast, although it is better to avoid taking injections whilst fasting unnecessarily.

FAQ Ramadhananswers by Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam from daruliftaa.com

and Shaykh Faraz Rabbani seerkersguidance.org

QQ: Does taking out blood or a blood test invalidate one’s fast?

A: No, a blood test does not invalidate the fast, as it is merely the taking out of blood. However, it will be disliked if it could weaken one from being able to maintain the fast.

Q: Does smoking invalidate one’s fast?

A: Yes, it does invalidate one’s fast. (Ramadhan is a good time to quit smoking forever!).

Q: Can a woman on menstruation (haydh) or post-natal bleeding (nifas) fast?

A: No, she cannot fast. It will be unlawful (haram) for her to do so.

Q: Does a woman on menstruation (Haydh) or post-natal bleeding (Nifas) have to make up for the fasts missed?

A: Yes, she will have to make Qadha for the missed fasts.

Q: Is taking a meal before commencing a fast (suhur) necessary in order for a fast to be valid?

A: No, Suhur is not necessary. However, it is a virtuous act of Sunnah that should not be missed unnecessarily.

Q: Is it permissible for me to pray eight rakats of tarawih? Twenty seems like so much.

A: The con�rmed sunna in the Hana� school, in fact in all the 4 schools, is to pray 20 rakats for tarawih. Many great scholars consider there to be scholarly consensus (ijma`) of the Companions regarding this.

Don’t think of them as 20. Think of it simply as 5 sets of 4. It doesn’t take more than a quarter of an hour. If you cannot pray 20 lengthy rakats, pray 20 brief rakats. Also, you don’t have to pray all 20 at once, you can spread them out over the night.

The important thing is: pray them. Motivate yourself at various levels
