Some people do not think it is important to tell their children to fast; indeed, a child may want to fast and is able to do it, but his parent(s) may tell him not to, out of so-called “pity” for him. True pity and compassion consist of making him get used to fasting.

Allaah says:

*يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلْحِجَارَةُ عَلَيْهَا مَلَٰٓئِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَّا يَعْصُونَ ٱللَّهَ مَآ أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ*

*”O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a Fire (hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.”*
[Al-Tahreem 66:6].

Extra attention must be paid to the matter of a girl’s fasting when she has just reached maturity, because she may fast when she has her period, out of shyness, and then not make up the fast later.

If a kaafir becomes Muslim, or a child reaches puberty, or an insane person comes to his senses during the day, they should refrain from eating for the rest of the day, because they are now among those who are obliged to fast, but they do not have to make up for the days of Ramadaan that they have missed, because at that time they were not obliged to fast.

The deeds of the insane are not being recorded, but if a person is insane at times and sane at other times, he must fast during his periods of sanity, and is excused during his periods of insanity.

If he becomes insane during the day, this does not nullify his fast, because he had the intention of fasting when he was sane.
(Majaalis Shahr Ramadaan by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, p.28).
A similar case is the ruling on epileptics.

If someone dies during Ramadaan, there is no “debt” on him or his heirs with regard to the remaining days of the month.

If someone does not know that it is obligatory to fast Ramadaan, or that it is haraam to eat or have sexual intercourse during the day in this month, according to the majority of scholars, this excuse is acceptable, as is also the case for a new convert to Islam, a Muslim living in non-Muslim lands and a Muslim who grew up among the kuffaar. But a person who grew up among the Muslims and was able to ask questions and find out, has no excuse.

*TRAVELERS*
➖➖➖

For a traveller to break his fast, some conditions must be met.

▪️His journey should be lengthy, or else be known as travelling,
▪️And should go beyond the city and its suburbs.
▪️His journey should also not be for sinful purposes or trying to get out of having to fast.

If the sun sets and he breaks his fast on the ground, then the plane takes off and he sees the sun, he needs not to stop eating because he has already completed his day’s fasting.

If the plane takes off before sunset and he wants to complete that day’s fasting during the journey, he should not break his fast until the sun has set from wherever he is in the air.
(Fataawa of Shaykh Ibn Baaz, issued verbally).

On the duration of time when one is considered a traveller, the scholars differ.
➖➖➖

▫️. Some scholars mentioned that a traveller remains as such so long as he does not intend to settle in a place, or remain there indefinitely.

"A person who leaves out on a journey to work (to another city), and he knows the exact length of his time away. For example, a person comes to a land to attend a conference (or a course) that lasts for three months, then such a person is considered a traveller who shortens his prayers because his journey has not come to an end."
(Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymin’s Sharh ‘Umatul-Ahkām).
___*PAGE 9*___.                                    ✍️...

▫️. Some said that whoever travels to a place and intends to stay there for more than 19days must fast because of the report from Ibn Abbas that; The Prophet (ﷺ) once stayed for 19days and prayed shortened prayers. So when we travelled (and stayed) for 19days, we used to shorten the prayer but if we travelled (and stayed) for longer we used to offer the full prayer.
Sahih al-Bukhari, 1080.
___*PAGE 10*___.                                     ✍️...

▫️. Whilst others limited the time to 4 days.

"If a traveller passes through a city other than his own, he does not have to fast, unless his stay there is longer than four days, in which case he must fast because the rulings that apply to those who are settled apply also to him."
(Fataawa al-Da’wah by Ibn Baaz, 977).
