Preparing for Fasting

This book comprises less than 200 points; made it brief and easy to understand. I have tried to make it such that the fasting person can find out what he wants and needs to know from it easily. I have compiled the points based on the books of the Sunnah and their explanations, the statements of the Companions, the Followers (i.e. the generation after the Companions) and the four Imams: Abu Hanifah, Malik, ash-Shafi I and Ahmad, their followers and other Imams of Islam and lights of guidance (may Allah have mercy on them and may He reward them with good on behalf of Islam and the Muslims). I have tried to select those opinions which are closest to the proofs according to the justifications of the verifying scholars, with the permission of Allah. Allah the Most High said: [And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger] [4:59].
