Q 1: What is the ruling on those who listen to obscene speech while observing Sawm (Fast)?

If a fasting person has some abuse hurled at them, they are to reply : "I am fasting." It was related by Al-Bukhari in his Sahih (Authentic Hadith Book), vol. 2, p. 228 on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stated: Sawm is protection (from the Hellfire and from committing sins). If one of you is observing Sawm, he should avoid sexual relations with his wife and quarreling. If anyone should fight or quarrel with him, he should say, 'I am fasting'. But if the abuse is hurled at someone else or obscene speech in general, the abuser should be advised to give up hurling abuses and obscene speech, and should be warned against obscene acts by word and deed. Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) said: The believers, men and women, are Auliyâ’ (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another; they enjoin (on the people) Al-Ma‘rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islâm has forbidden) Q 2: What is the ruling on those who break their Sawm after sunset and before the Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer? (Part No. 9; Page No. 214)  A: If the fasting person verifies the occurrence of sunset, it is permissible to hasten to break the Sawm even if one does not hear the Mu'adhin (caller to prayer). It is narrated upon the authority of Sahl Ibn Sa`d (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: The people will continue to prosper as long as they hasten to break the Sawm. (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) This Hadith is related by Al-Bukhari in his Sahih (Authentic Hadith Book), vol. 2, p. 241.It is also related by Al-Bukhari in his Sahih (Authentic Hadith Book), vol. 2, p. 240, on the authority of `Asim ibn `Umar ibn Al-Khattab that his father (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: When night falls from this side and the day vanishes from this side and the sun sets, then the fasting person should break his Sawm. In addition, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, conveying what was revealed to him from his Lord: Of My Servants those I love most are those who hasten to break their Sawm. (Related by Ahmad, Al-Tirmidhy, and Abu Dawud upon the authority of Abu Hurayrah [may Allah be pleased with him])May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
