Salam Please find below extracts regarding fasting from an on-going translation project which we hope to complete in the near future inshAllah. The text called Shir’ah al-Islam, by Allamah Muhammad bin Abi Bakr al-Samarqandi, a respected scholar of the Hanafi school. The text covers the Sunnahs related to various aspects of a Muslims life, and has been printed with an excellent commentary by Sayyid Ali-Zadah which further elaborates on the points mentioned by the author. We hope the passage below is of some benefit for the month of Ramadan which is fast approaching.
