Ramadhan Fasting

Fiqih - Ramadan fasting, what is Ramadan fast? So my friend does not know wah as Muslims who are baligh obligatory law fasting ramadhan lo know your buddy. Even because of the importance of childhood since the parents will surely teach us Ramadan fasting this.

But it is good to fulfill the curiosity of my friend, let alone the new convert, I will write a bit, Ramadan fasting is the fast that is obliged to every rhythmic Muslim, Fasting obligation is required since year 2 Hijrahnya Prophet Muhammad. Read this verse


Meaning: O you who are believers are obligated upon you to fast as required of those before you so that you may piety. QS. Al-Baqoroh: 183



When is Ramadan fasting?
Fasting Ramadan is done for 1 full month, how long? Yes so guidance buddy. Starting from the rising of the sun to the setting of the sun, so the timing is different each country, there is a short time there are also up to 20 hours.

To know When to start fasting ramadhan this can be done with 2 ways, that isab or calculation and rukyat or see. Let's discuss one.

What is Rukyat?
Rukyat is a way to determine the beginning of the month of Ramadan by looking at the eyes with the appearance of the crescent moon, but if the sky is overcast then you should perfect the moon number syakban become 30 days or istikmal.

If my friend in Indonesia then do not have to worry about the initial determination of this fast because it has been coordinated by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Salafist scholars are very careful in doing this rukyat, because related to the vision of a subjective nature, so to be more convincing in invite two witnesses at least to see the same crescent or hilal.

Then What is Hisab?
Hisab is a way to know the beginning of the month qomariyah or ramadhan with the calculations of astronomy so that can determine the location of the moon. So this way is not as difficult as rukyat.

This is what often causes the initial difference in Fasting in Indonesia so that the organization of muhhadiyah prefer this way of reckoning. While the organization Nahdhatul Ulama using Rukyat.

The basis for using rukyat and reckoning is Qur'an Surat Yunus verse 3, and the hadith of Muslim history. Just different views of the old and new scholars.
