Verily all praise is due to Allaah, we praise Him, we seek His assistance and we ask for His forgiveness. And we seek refuge in Allaah from the evils of our selves and the evils of our actions. Whoever Allaah guides none can lead him astray and whoever is led astray, none can guide Him. I testify that there is no god that has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, alone and with no partner. And I testify that Muhammad is His slave and final messenger.

In order to complete the benefits of this treatise and considering what we are being tested by in Egypt and other lands, from the occurrence of division at the start and end of fasting every year, we will present this following section. So you can find that in one family, the members are divided amongst themselves between those who are fasting and those who are not, each of them claiming that they are following a specific Fiqh opinion. But yet they forget or they are caused to forget...
The pre-dawn meal (suhoor) is highly recommended for those who fast. And delaying it until just before Fajr is more rewarding and more blessed. The Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said: "Have suhoor for verily there is blessing in the suhoor." [Reported by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]
Anas, radyAllaah 'anhu, reported on Zaid Ibn Thaabit, radyAllaah 'anhu, that he said: "We had suhoor with the Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, then he stood up for the prayer." I (Anas) said:...

Some authentic ahaadeeth on the virtue of fasting in Ramadaan and other times:
Allaah says: "Every good deed of the son of Adam is for him except fasting, for it is for Me and I will reward it." [A qudsee hadeeth reported by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]
The Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said: "By the One in whose Hand the soul of Muhammad r is, the breath that comes out of the mouth of the one fasting is better to Allaah than the scent of musk. There are two times of joy for...
The following things are allowable for a fasting person to do:
1. Taking a bath and pouring cold water over oneself, as well as gargling to cool and moisten the mouth and tongue.
2. Hijaamah (Cupping) and anything that resembles it, [1]so long as it doesn't lead to weakness, for then it would be disliked (makrooh). "The Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, received Hijaamah while he was fasting." [Reported by Al-Bukhaaree]
As for the hadeeth: "The person doing the Hijaamah and...

Some weak ahaadeeth that are often quoted, which are related to fasting in Ramadaan and other times: This is in order to warn against them and to caution the Muslims from attributing them to the Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. [1]
"The first part of Ramadaan is mercy, the middle part (of it) is forgiveness and the last part is freedom from the Hellfire." [Very Weak]
"Fast and you will be healthy." [Weak]
"Fasting on the first of Rajab expiates (the sins committed) for...
Taqwaa[1] is one of the greatest goals and most important reasons behind fasting. Allaah says:
"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, in order that you may attain Taqwaa." [Surah Al-Baqarah: 183]
And the Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said: "Fasting is a shield." [2][Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree]
