Many fasting questions come up only in the moment: water went down the throat during wudu, you ate thinking it was still night, you need eye drops or an injection. This guide sorts the common cases into three groups in the Hanafi school: things that do not break the fast, things that break it and need one day of qaza, and the few that also need kaffarah of sixty days. The second page explains qaza, kaffarah and fidya, who may leave the fast, the intention for different fasts, and the Sunnahs of sehri and iftar.

How to use it

Print page 1 for the fridge in Ramadan, or keep it on your phone. When something happens during the fast, check which column it falls in.

Frequently asked questions

Does eating by mistake break the fast?

No. If you forget you are fasting and eat or drink, your fast is still valid. Stop as soon as you remember.

Do eye drops or injections break the fast?

Eye drops do not, and neither does an injection that is not food or a drip. Drops in the ear or nose, and inhalers, break it and need one qaza.

What is the kaffarah for breaking a fast?

For deliberately breaking a Ramadan fast by eating, drinking, smoking or marital relations: sixty fasts in a row, plus the qaza.

Who pays fidya?

Someone too old or ill ever to fast, with no hope of recovery, gives the amount of Sadaqat al-Fitr for each fast.
