TARAWEEH FROM THE 1ST OF RAMADHAAN
Q: Is it neccessary to start Taraweeh from the 1st of Ramadhan?
A: There are two Sunnats in Taraweeh: 1. To perform 20 Rakaats every night of Ramadhaan. This applies to the first of Ramadhaan as well. 2. To recite the entire Qur'aan in Taraweeh at least once in the entire month. This recitation of the entire Qur'aan may commence and complete on any chosen date, provided that at least one entire recitation of the whole Qur'aan is made in Taraweeh Salaat. [Mufti Ebrahim Desai]

TARAWEEH SECTION RECITED IN ESHA SALAAT
Q: During Ramadan, if 1 juz (1/30) is being recited every night, can the first quarter of the juz be recited during the Fard of Isha, and the remaining � juz divided into the 20 rakaats of Taraweeh? Please explain.
A: It is sunnah to recite the entire Quraan in taraweeh. If quarter juz is recited in Esha salaah, the sunnah of reciting the entire Quraan in taraweeh will not be fulfilled. [Mufti Ebrahim Desai]

MISSED ESHA SALAAH
Q: I have missed my Fard Esha salaah in the Masjid. Taraweeh has commenced, What do I do?

I'TIKAAF WITHOUT FASTING
Q: I intend to observe I'tikaaf during the last ten days(of Ramadhaan) but I do not have the strength to fast. Is, therefore, the observing of i'tikaaf without fasting correct or not?
A: Fasting is a condition for the traditional(masnoon) Sunnah I'tikaaf of the last ten days, hence, I'tikaaf without fasting is supererogatory(nafl) . It will then be nafl I'tkiaaf and not the masnoon sunnah I'tikaaf. [Mufti Abdur Rahman]

SWALLOWING SALIVA
Q: Does swallowing of saliva break the fast ?
A: Saliva is the natural secretion of the mouth and if swallowed will not break the fast. However, the deliberate accumulation of saliva in the mouth and swallowing it (presumably to quench the thirst) is wrong and invalidates the fast. [Source: Fasting and the Patient- IMA]

DENTAL EXTRACTION
Q: Can Extraction of teeth or dental procedures be done while fasting ?
A: These are allowed while one is fasting , but great care must be taken that no material is swallowed. If water, blood, food particles, released plaque, or filling matter is accidently swallowed, then the fast will be broken. It is generally advised, in view of the above, that one should avoid these prodedures while fasting. [Source: Fasting and the Patient- IMA]
