THE FIQH DEPARTMENT

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Although every Fiqh opinion is based on evidence, often times, the scholars differ in their views. This room for differences is a mercy from Allah, and as long as there is evidence to support an opinion, then we must respect scholars' views, even if we may not always agree.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Whoever performs Ijtihad and errs will receive one reward. Whoever performs Ijtihad and arrives at the correct answer gets double the reward"

Whomsoever wakes up in the morning to fast and he is junub PDF Print E-mail
Fiqh: Islamic Jurisprudence - Ramadan
Written by Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal   

 

‘Abdullaah bin Ahmad bin Hanbal said: I read to my father saying: ‘Ubaidah bin Humaid said: Mansoor narrated to me from Ibraaheem (An-Nakha’ee) concerning a man who becomes junub (needing to bath from sexual relations) during Ramadhaan and then sleeps until the morning. So Ibraheem said:

((He should complete that fast for that day and then fast another day in place of it))

I heard my father [i.e. Imaam Ahmad] say:

((He does not fast another day in place of it))

 

Note: Imaam Ahmad saw that for the one who rises in the morning whilst still junubduring the month of Ramadhaan then this does not harm him in regards to his fast, even if his having slept was deliberate. This has been reported from him by Ibn Haani’ in his Masaa’il vol1 p. 132 issue number 653.
