Opening of Fast at night (After Maghrib Salat)
أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَىٰ نِسَائِكُمْ ۚ هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَهُنَّ ۗ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَخْتَانُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَفَا عَنْكُمْ ۖ فَالْآنَ بَاشِرُوهُنَّ وَابْتَغُوا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۚ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ ۖ ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ ۚ وَلَا تُبَاشِرُوهُنَّ وَأَنْتُمْ عَاكِفُونَ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ ۗ تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ فَلَا تَقْرَبُوهَا ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ آيَاتِهِ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ {187}
Permissible for you during the night of the Fast, is the going to your wives; they are an apparel for you and you are an apparel for them. Allah knows you were deceiving yourselves, but He still Turned towards you and Excused you. As for now, sleep with them and seek what Allah has Ordained for you; and eat and drink until it is clear for you, the white thread from the black thread at dawn, then complete the Fast up to the night; and do not sleep with them while you are performing Itikaaf in the Masjid. These are the Limits of Allah, therefore do not go near these. Like that, Allah Clarifies His Signs for the people, perhaps they may be fearing [2:187]
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ وَ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي قَوْمٍ صَامُوا شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ فَغَشِيَهُمْ سَحَابٌ أَسْوَدُ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فَرَأَوْا أَنَّهُ اللَّيْلُ فَأَفْطَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ ثُمَّ إِنَّ السَّحَابَ انْجَلَى فَإِذَا الشَّمْسُ قَالَ عَلَى الَّذِي أَفْطَرَ صِيَامُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيامَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ فَمَنْ أَكَلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ اللَّيْلُ فَعَلَيْهِ قَضَاؤُهُ لِأَنَّهُ أَكَلَ مُتَعَمِّداً
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Ubeyd, from Yunus, from Abu Baseer and Sama’at,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws regarding a group of people who are Fasting the Month of Ramazan, so the black cloud overcomes them during the setting of the sun. So, they see it as being night, and some of them break the Fast. Then the clouds move away, so, the sun is (still) there. He-asws said: ‘It is upon those who break (to make up for) the Fast of that day. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying complete the Fast up to the night [2:187]. So the one who eats before the entry of the night, so upon him is its making up, because he ate deliberately’.[1]
