10 Mistakes You Should Avoid while Fasting

1. Prayer Times

Some people pray Dhur and Asr prayers together during Ramadan. This is incorrect and should be avoided.

2. When to Start Eating

Some people believe you cannot eat until the caller to prayer is done calling the Maghrib Adhan. This is incorrect, as soon as he starts a person can break their fast.

3. Making Dua

Many people don’t take advantage of making dua before they break their fast. This is one of the three times when Allah accepts a person dua.

4. Last Days of Ramadan

Many people make the mistake of spending the later part of Ramadan preparing for Eid, neglecting Ramadan. This is incorrect and these people lose the concept of what Ramadan is about.

5. Manners

Some people think Ramadan is just about refraining from eating and that it is nothing to do with one’s behavior. In fact we are supposed to control our tempers and badmouthing more during Ramadan.

6. Wasting Time

People often waste their time. They tend to sleep the whole day and doing nothing. Ramadan however provides us opportunity to take advantage of this blessed month by doing more worship.

7. Fasting While Traveling

Some people travel much during in this month thinking they will have to break their fast while traveling. This is in fact optional. If someone wants to break fast while traveling one can (with making it up later), otherwise one can continue fasting.

8. Swallowing Saliva

Some say you cannot swallow your spit during Ramadan. This too is false. However you cannot swallow mucus that has entered your mouth.

9. Using scents

Some say you cannot use scented oils or perfumes during Ramadan. This too is false.

10. During Ablution

Putting water inside nose and mouth during wudu would break fast is another wrong perception.
