Introduction
In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise be to Him, the Lord of the all worlds. And may peace and blessings be upon His noble Messenger, our master Muḥammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, and upon his family and companions.
This is a summary and translation of the chapter of fasting from the book Nūr al-Īḍāḥ written by the great Ḥanafī jurist al-Shurunbulālī (d. 1069). In this summary, I have omitted portions of the chapter that are not relevant to the general public to make the Fiqh of fasting simple and accessible. The footnotes are important additions from relied-upon works, and they either clarify or add details to the original text.
Because this is a short summary of the Fiqh of fasting for the general public, it does not include answers to specific questions or Fatāwā (legal verdicts). For Fatāwā, visit: https://seekersguidance.org/
Special thanks to my teacher, Shaykh Mahdī Lock, may Allāh preserve and reward him, for vigilantly editing and refining this booklet. I ask Allāh to benefit the Muslims with this work, and for it to be a means of forgiveness for me, my parents, and my teachers.
