I found out it's Ramadan too late.


Q: What do I do if I woke up after the adhan of Fajr and found out it was Ramadan?

A: Fasting is obliged upon everyone with the sighting of the new moon, regardless of the location, or, as a precautionary measure, when atmospheric conditions prevent a potential sighting on the 29th of Shaban.

If a positive sighting is confirmed during the day and you did not make the intention to fast, you are to fast the remainder of the day and make up the day after Ramadan.

There is no obligation to stop eating 15-20 minutes before Fajr. One may eat and drink until the actual entrance of true dawn.

 
 
 
Using a Bidet while Fasting

The ruling returns to a broader principle: if a person deliberately causes something to enter his internal cavity (al-jawf), or any hollow space within the body, the fast is invalidated.

 
 
 
Enemas Break the Fast

If a person performs iḥtiqān (administers an enema) into the rectum, his fast is invalidated because the substance reaches the internal body cavity (al-jawf).
