Introduction
Assalamu alaikumThis a first draft of a long paper that I am submitting to the Women's magazine Al-Mu'minah recentlystarted by Al-Qur'an was--Sunnah Society. This magazine is in its early days and needs a lot of support [inall possible ways] from all of us. It is in this regard that I am writing this article for them to help them inthis noble and much needed effort. I also call on all of you SISTERS AND BROTHERS to support thisnew magazine.How you can help?
Moral support:By making du`a to Allah to make this project successful and sincere for His andonly His sakeFinancial support:By sending your donations to the production and distribution of the magazine andby subscribing to the magazine.Advertising support:By subscribing your local masjid or center to the magazine and informing othersabout it.Intellectual support:By writing articles and sending questions for FatawaBrotherly support:By advising us, correcting us if we get wrong, sharing with us your experienceand knowledge, showing us our shortcomings and giving us alternatives.
Insha'a Allah before the end of Ramadan Al-Mu'minah shall be available in a WEB page and will bepublished electronically for those who do not have access to the WEB.As this is the first draft only, it may contain many mistakes, typos, weak ahadith, improper wording,...etc, Iask all of you to report any of that to me. Some of the passages are taken from some books of Fiqh, some of them have been referenced and others not, as this is only the first draft, future versions will include properreferences insha'a Allah.Also feel free to distribute this [if you think it is worthy] with proper reference to "Al-Mu'minah/al-Qur'anwas-Sunnah Society"Though this article is addressed to Muslim women mainly, the matters of fasting are all the same for menand women except few exceptions. Therefore, it is for general use.Whatever is right in here is from Allah and whatever is wrong is from me and shaytan, may Allah forgiveme that.wa salla Allahu wa sallama `ala Nabiyyinaa Mohammad wa `ala 'aalihi wa SahbihBy Abu AbdiLLAH Abdelkader Kamel Tayebi al-Atharifor Al-Mu'minah Magazine
