Tag: Niyyah

According to a Hadith narrated by Abu Huraira, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever eats or drinks forgetfully while he is fasting, let him complete his fast, for Allah has fed him and given him drink”. This provides clear guidance on what to do if you break fast by mistake, affirming that an unintentional act does not invalidate your worship.

Over 1.8 billion Muslims observe the holy month of Ramadan annually, but many are unaware of the core pillars that uphold their fast. A valid fast in Islam rests on two essential conditions: the sincere intention (`niyyah`) and abstaining from invalidating acts from dawn to sunset. Understanding these two conditions for fasting is crucial for every practicing Muslim.
