"Do Not Let Your Fasting Be Imperfect, Here are 6 Makruh Things in the Month of Ramadan that Should be Avoided"

Dream - The month of Ramadan, Muslims should be able to preserve themselves from things that invalidate fasting and remain focused on worshiping Allah SWT. This includes activities that are considered makruh. Makruh means that the action itself does not bring sin or invalidate fasting, but it can reduce the value of the worship performed. So, it would be better if these makruh things are avoided so that the fasting worship that friends of Dream do remains perfect. However, there may be some Muslims who are unaware or even do not know that what they do during the month of fasting is considered makruh.

To ensure that Dream friends are more cautious, here are several makruh (discouraged) things to avoid during Ramadan fasting, as summarized by Dream from various sources.

Things that are Makruh to do during Ramadan fasting

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Activities that are considered makruh (discouraged) during Ramadan fasting should be avoided to ensure the perfection of the fast. Here are some things that are makruh during fasting:"

1. Excessive Salivation

During ablution, one of the movements is gargling. However, do it moderately and avoid excessiveness because it can be makruh (disliked). In addition, intentionally swallowing water used for gargling can invalidate fasting. Therefore, the person must replace it outside of Ramadan. The Prophet Muhammad once said to Laqith bin Shabrah, "Be diligent in gargling and inhaling water into the nose, except when you are fasting." (Narrated by Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Ahmad, and others)

"Take care to gargle and inhale water into the nose diligently, except when you are fasting." (Narrated by Tirmidzi, Abu Dawud, Ahmad, and others)

2. Sleep All Day

Sleeping while fasting can be an act of worship. However, it can also be considered makruh (discouraged) if done excessively. If Dream's friend cannot resist sleepiness, then it is advisable to use free time for taking a nap. However, still pay attention to having an adequate amount of sleep. Because sleeping all day can potentially be considered forbidden and bring sins.

3. Tasting Food

For Dream friends who continue to work in the kitchen even while cooking, please be careful not to taste the food being processed. Because usually when cooking, someone will taste whether it has been seasoned or not. Even though it's not fully eaten, there is a concern that the food will be swallowed and break the fast. As an alternative, you can ask for help from friends or other family members who are not fasting to taste your dishes.

4. Smelling

"Kissing is also one of the things that is considered makruh (discouraged) when performing the fasting ritual. Because it is possible that the act of kissing may arouse desire and ultimately disrupt the fasting ritual. The same goes for hugging, touching the hands of a partner, or constantly looking at them. It is feared that these actions will awaken desire. So, it is better to avoid them altogether rather than nullifying the fast and bringing about sin."

5. Wishal

Wishal is continuing to fast for one day with fasting on the following day without breaking the fast, without eating and drinking. Although this fast was practiced by Prophet Muhammad, it is specific in nature and not recommended for his followers. With its disliked status, it is better not to do it. This is because it can weaken the body when performing obligatory acts. In fact, this fast can also be harmful to the body's health.

6. Bersiwak or Brushing Teeth

Brushing teeth or using a toothstick is considered makruh (discouraged) to do while fasting. According to the shariah, it is recommended to use a toothstick before zawal (midday) and after it during the month of Ramadan or other months while fasting. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once said, "Indeed, the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
