Fiqh of Fasting Detailed Presentation

This is a detailed presentation about aspects related to fasting and the rulings associated with it.

O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may be mindful of God. (Sūrah al-Baqarah, 1:183)

Islam has been built on five [pillars]: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allah, establishing Ṣalāh, paying the Zakāh, making the pilgrimage to the House [of Allah, i.e, Kaʿbah], and fasting in Ramaḍān. (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim)
