Common Mistakes During Ramadhan PLEASE SHARE THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!! 1) Some people believe when you are cooking you cannot taste the food to see if it has the right spices/flavors. This is false, and allowed in Islam as long as the person cooking is not eating the food. Rather they can taste it to see if it needs salt, or more spices. Ibn Taymiyah said: Tasting food is makroohdisliked "if there is no need to do it" but it does not break the fast. Al Fataawa (4/474) Ibn ‘Abbaas said: There is nothing wrong with tasting what is being cooked as long as it does not reach the throat. # Ramadan 2) Many people think you cannot use a Miswak or toothbrush during Ramadhan. This is false, for the Prophet(saw) used to use a miswak during Ramadhan. Also you CAN use toothpaste; the reasoning by the scholars is that the Miswak has flavor, thus toothpaste is okay to use (if you are not eating it). 3) Some people make the Fajr Adhan early. They do this so people will stop eating before Fajr and not invalidate their fast. This is wrong and something we should not do. 4) Some people make the Maghrib Adhan late. They do this so people will start eating late, just in case Maghrib has not come in yet. This too is wrong and we should not do this. 5) Many many people believe you cannot have intercourse with your wife during the whole month of Ramadhan. This is false, you cannot do this only during the times when you are fasting. Between Maghrib and Fajr it is permissable to do. 6) Many women believe that if their period has just ended and they did not make ghusl, they cannot fast that day (considering their period ended at night, and they went to bed without Ghusl, waking up without having a chance to make it). This is incorrect, if a women has not made Ghusl she can still fast. 7) Many men believe that if he has had intercourse with his wife and did not make ghusl (similar to the above) then he cannot fast the next morning. This is also incorrect, for he can fast even if he has not made Ghusl. 8) Some people pray Dhur and Asr prayers together during Ramadhan (mainly in Arab countries) This is incorrect and should be avoided. 9) Some people believe you cannot eat until the Muadthin is done calling the Maghrib Adthan. This is incorrect, as soon as he starts a person can break their fast.
