Answer 10

be  a  muslim and do the right thing.

thats all.

just remeber when. you rise on the day of judgement.. allah wont be asking you how you did in your sports but how did you take advantage of ramadan so you can get good deeds?

Answer 11

Your obligations to Allah come before any sport. You can gain weight in Ramadan its quite easy many do. Yeah it is a really poor excuse.

Its a pillar of the faith and unless you are sick, traveling, pregnant, menstruating or breastfeeding (the last 3 I highly doubt) you must fast. Its your choice of course but if your asking is it a sin I would say yes.

Answer 12

Fasting is part of the 5 pillars of Islam. You have to fast, unless you're very sick or suffer from a serious disease, or you're on a long journey for a good cause, rendering you incapable of fasting. The only exception is given to women who are still menstruating. They cannot fast when they have their periods, but they still have to pay back later when they are normal before the next fasting month in the following year. For men there's no excuse not to fast other than the above reasons.

Answer 13

Wow you favour sports over Allah (swt) commands, the one who has created you, given you life, a provision and so on. Your reason's is not valid only those are exempt from fasting are the sick, pregnant women, old people and young chilidren.

Answer 14

Nothing is by force, this is between you and Allah alone. But think real carefully. I know people who haven't lived to see this Ramadan and it's a blessed month. I will not go on, but I will transmit to you a Hadith of the beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

As the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If anyone omits his fast even for one day in Ramadan without a concession or without being ill, then if he were to fast for the rest of his life he could not make up for it. [Bukhari]

Answer 15

fasting is a direct command from Allah in the Qur'an, and it is not only an obligation but pillar in Islaam.  Therefore if you leave it off without the valid reasons given in Islaam you are doing a grave sin.  and ofcourse, loosing or gaining weight is not a reason.

Trust in Allah.  If you fast, and make extra dua's for what you want, Allah will bless you with what is better for you in this world and in the hereafter.  Every moment of our life that we do not spend in the way of Allah would be a cause of grief in this world and in the hereafter.  So fear Allah and love Allah and hope from Allah.  And do not let other things of this world overtake you from obeying His commands.

mmm... i do believe you need to see proofs from the Qur'an and Sunnah to double check that what I said is directly from the commands of Allah and His Rasool, because it seems  you might not know them already?  well I'm sorry that I can't give you the proofs at the moment due to lack of time and strength, but inshallah will update later if i get a chance.

=)

Answer 16

you don't have a good reason for not fasting, your not sick or traveling

sport or any thing else  is not important as obeying Allah.

Answer 17

I am guessing from your religion that it may be a sin not to adhere to the rules of Islam. I believe what I believe and I don't let a temple of any kind tell me what to believe. You aren't hurting anyone by eating. Since you are doing it for sports-a very positive thing in my eyes- I consider it to be OK. Are you still a "sinner." Depends on who you ask.

Why would an all knowing perfect being care what you eat and when. Or when you have s*x and you don't. Put some different kinds of questions in your mind.

Answer 18

intentions count more than the action, you cant plan to not fast. if you wake up everyday with the intention to truly fast and then accidentally break your fast that's a different story. the days are getting shorter so you will only be fasting for 13 hours and your not going to lose massive weight over that time, before the sun rises get up and eat a full breakfast, get in as many carbs as you can and once the sun set eat alot you can gain weight in the off hours of fasting

Answer 19

No you're not a sinner.  Just live and be and don't let others rule your life for you.  Do you really think your higher power is going to punish you because you don't starve yourself?  Doesn't make sense.  Does it to you?

Answer 20

Welll Its Between u and Allah ! If u dont wanna fast just to gain weight ! Its totally Upto u ! Maybe U get sick  Duraing ramadan and lose the weight U already Got ! So no one knows whats Gonna Happen ! and normally People gain weight During ramadan !

Answer 21

If you're able then do fast, don't put anything before your Lord and your deen, because that's what comes first. I suggest you repent and fast this Ramadan, you will be rewarded inshallah. Also, I'm not sure you know but Ramadan makes people gain weight, you won't go skinnier.

Answer 22

Yes ofcourse it's a sin. That is not a good reason to break your fast! If you want to gain weight the best way to do that is to eat before you sleep. Unless it's a health reason then you have no excuse not to fast!
