    If you have Wet dreams while you are fasting, there will be no harm in fasting. Because it is not voluntary or under control. In this case, the fast should be completed naturally. No Qaza or Kaffara will be required. But bathing will be obligatory. Abu Saeed Khudri (R.A.) said, Rasulullah (S.A.W.) sRead more

    Abu Saeed Khudri (R.A.) said, Rasulullah (S.A.W.) said, “Three things do not break the fast – vomiting, snoring and dreaming.”  (Bayhaqi, Shuabul Iman, 4/264; Addurrul Mukhtar: 2/396)

    ”Yes, it's permissible and recommended according to hadith and the opinions of Imams. Even though the hadith is weak, it's okay to fast on that day. The hadith says, “When it is halfway through Sha’baan, spend that night in prayer and fast on that day.”

    The brown discharge that comes out after menstruation should wait until it stops. Because the brown discharge that comes out after menstrual blood is also menstrual.

As Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “Do not hasten before you see the white discharge“. If this is the case, you will abstain from prayer, fasting, and perform fasting after purification.

    In any way the blood comes during the menstrual period, it will be called menstruation, similarly, when the spot appears for the first time during the menstrual period and the spot continues to appear at intervals, then the entire days of habit will be counted as impurity days and those who If thereRead more

    In any way the blood comes during the menstrual period, it will be called menstruation, similarly, when the spot appears for the first time during the menstrual period and the spot continues to appear at intervals, then the entire days of habit will be counted as impurity days and those who If there is more than that, it will be the blood of disease, in it, prayer and fasting are not excused.

    Then it will be seen whether you can differentiate between menstrual blood and disease blood or not. Or illness will be decreed, and if it is impossible to distinguish between the two and the illness is permanent, ten days of each month will be counted as menstruation and the remaining days will be counted as illness. Only God knows.

    Muharram is also a religious month in Islam just like three others. There is a fast in this month called the fast of Ashura. There are many references in hadith I will mention some here.

    Fasting in Muharram pre existed before Islam. After prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated to Madinah, He found that Jews were fasting on the same day. They gave the reason for that Sahih Albukahri 3397:

    This is a great day on which Allah saved Moses and drowned the folk of Pharaoh. Moses observed the fast on this day, as a sign of gratitude to Allah.

    That is why the prophet said to have two fasts on Muharram, a day before Ashura and the day of Ashura.

    Fast on the day before and the day after Ashura.

    In another Hadith of Sahih Muslim 1163, the Prophet Muhammad said:

    The best of fasts after Ramadan is in the Month of Allah, which you call Muharram.

    The day of Ashura is of great importance. There is another hadith of Sahih Muslims 1162 that explains that Allah forgives all sins of the previous year to have a fast on Ashura.

    I hope from Allah that fasting on the Day of Arafah expiates for the sins of the year before it and the year after it.

    It is important to know that fasting on Ashura is not compulsory but it is Sunnah. Reference from Sahih Al Bukhari:

    Fast if you wish and those who do not, are not obliged to do so.
