Sittings During the Blessed Month of Ramadan By Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih Uthaymin

Ramadan is not only the month of fasting — it is the month of the Qur'an, of night prayer, of increased worship and reflection. The scholars of Islam recognized that Ramadan required its own dedicated teaching, and some of the most valuable works in the Islamic tradition are the sittings and lessons scholars delivered specifically during this blessed month.

Sittings During the Blessed Month of Ramadan by Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymin brings together the Shaykh's lessons for Ramadan in a single volume — covering the fiqh of fasting alongside reminders of the spiritual purpose behind it, drawn directly from the Qur'an and the authenticated Sunnah.

What This Book Covers

The Rulings of Fasting

The obligation of Ramadan fasting, who it applies to, the conditions that must be met, what invalidates the fast, the rulings on the person who is ill or traveling, how missed fasts are made up, and the expiation (kaffara) for intentional violations — all addressed with their evidences and the Shaykh's clear explanations.

The Night Prayer (Qiyam al-Layl) and Tarawih

The special emphasis Islam places on the night prayer during Ramadan, the rulings on Tarawih, its number of rak'at according to the Sunnah, and how to make the most of the last ten nights and Laylat al-Qadr.

The Spiritual Purpose of Ramadan

Shaykh al-Uthaymin does not limit himself to legal rulings. The sittings also address the heart's relationship to Ramadan — sincerity in fasting, protecting the fast from what nullifies its reward, and how a Muslim should approach the end of Ramadan and Eid.
