• What is correct about the miswak for the fasting person after noon?

•• The answer: Miswak is a Sunnah for all, the Miswak is Sunnah for the fasting person before and after noon.

As for the saying of some jurists that it is disliked after noon, it is a weak saying. The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “The siwak purifies the mouth, pleasing to the Lord.

And he said: “At every prayer.” This includes the noon prayer and the afternoon prayer for the fasting person, and it is Sunnah for all.

An accident happened to me, and I passed the Ramadan fast while I was in a coma.

•• The answer: If your mind has vanished before Ramadan and the mind continued to vanish until Ramadan ended, then you do not have to do anything, neither prayer nor fasting according to the other obligation condition. Precaution, as some scholars said, is good, but you do not need to pray or fast.

But if the coma was a few days or two, this is like sleeping, you make up after waking up, you make up what you missed of prayer and fasting, if the coma was short, three days or less, like what some of the companions like Ammar and others spent, but if the matter is long, then this is like madness, so there is nothing on you .

• Is oil in hair, kohl and chemical scents invalidating the fast?

•• The answer: No, if oil, fat, etc., or henna is put in the hair, it does not break the fast. What breaks the fast is something that a person eats with his mouth, through his nose, or through feeding needles and injections.
