Can a muslim man break his fast?

Question

I ask this question because I just meet a guy who happens to be a muslim. And we've been chatting on line and finally we meet but he says he can't see me for 30 days because of his fasting. He says coming to see me will give him impure thoughts and emotions and that can break his fast. Is that true? And do muslims lie? I don't believe so but I had to ask because he's in to people being truthful. Now I've been doing my own research on the Muslim religion but I need a bit of help. So can he break his fast if he see me?

Answer 1

it actually depends on him.. its all about his faith, if you meet him dont entice him negative influence.. btw all humans lie, its one sin we all can't escape.. btw its Ramadhan(fasting mth) so we hve to be extra vigilant and do more good things..

Answer 2

All people lie, Muslims are no different in that respect

He is in to people being truthful?  Most people are -- but, of course, people are people regardless of religion, and lie to others (and themselves) while still wanting others to be honest with them

Answer 3

Religion and long distance love never works

kick him to the curb sister

its over

Answer 4

He can break his fast if, he feels weakness or going far away from his home where time difference is more than 1 hours.

Fasting is not just being hungry till sunset, it also a fasting of man's 5 senses.

1. eyes : shouldn't watch movies, obscene things etc.

2. ears : shouldn't listen to music.

3. tongue : shouldn't speak bad things

4. nose : shouldn't smell bad odors  last, but not the least.

5. skin : should be clean and pure

Answer 5

not exactly... fasting is not merely to stop eating & drinking. it is also to do good deeds -in the first place-. the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said that many fasting people don't gain from their fasting except lots of hunger & thirst (means no reward)!! that is when they don't stop committing sins.

when he talks to you, he is afraid of those impure thoughts coming-up into his mind.

if he sees you & you are not "perfectly" covered, he commits a sin too. this should still work after Ramadan is over. but, he is concerned much about that holy month.

a Muslim should also not waste his time. he should instead read Qur'an & do worship Allah better than usual during this Holy month.

hope this helped :)

please send me if u have any vague ideas about Islam

happy Ramadan :)

Answer 6

The "impure thoughts" part says it all... he implies you are a bad influence... and responsible for his thoughts.

Red Flag!!!

Answer 7

Respect his wishes, don't be the one to cause him to break his fast. We ALL lie. Don't make him out to be better than he is.  

Answer 8

Sorry matie, your guy is too much. I had muslim friends who drink, F and break fast. Lie, lol...we all lie. Many of them are hypocrites, actually most religious people are hypocrites. You can find a 10% among them who really follow their religion whole heatedly. Religion makes no sense even to the ones who believe it right.

Answer 9

well dear.....u should respect him for who he is....it is true that even thinking 'bout a women wrongly can break a muslim's fast.... 'course muslims do lie ( not all of em) but who doesn't.....just coz he is in to truthful people does not mean that the whole muslim world is like that.... satan does his deeds everywhere.....if that were to b true then i would b the happiest man on the face of this universe....as every other muslim would too.....as of the this month of fasting v all abstain from lying as it breaks our fast too.....but if he really really is a truthful person, even after this month, then hats off to him..... then u r a really lucky girl

Answer 10

Ramadan is a month in which all Muslims try to focus on worship. so, you may find many Muslim men doing "Itikaf" which is a form of worship. It is formed by staying in a Mosque for a certain time. It is Ehtiyat that one should stay with the intention to worship Allah by praying formal or informal prayers although prayer is not a condition therein.

The time for this form of worship could be anytime when one is allowed to fast. The best time is the month of Ramadan, especially, the last ten days.

seeing you will not break his fast. however, it can induce certain thoughts (of sexual attraction) that if he acts on would certainly break his fast. i would see this as a good quality in the man you speak of because not all people are that honest and upright.

best regards.

Answer 11

The definition of a fast is to abstain from all or at least some food. This would not be related at seeing a person. If there are impure thoughts or emotions resulting in simply seeing someone, this would be a different issue from a religious fast. A Muslim may lie as much as anyone else. There are things in most chat rooms that would bring many impure thoughts as well. Be very careful.
