3. Substances and actions that nullify the fasting

According to the Quran and the authentic Sunnah of the prophet (pbuh) three
actions nullify fasting: eating, drinking and sexual intercourse. Therefore,
the passing of any solid or liquid sybstance that can be described as food
or drink, in any quantity through the gullet would nullify fasting. Accord
ingly, the p.articipants agreed unanimously that the following do not
nullIfy fasting.

1. Eye and ear drops, and ear wash.
2. Nitroglycerine tablets placed under the tongue for the treatment of
angina.

vaginal speculum, and doctor’s or midwife’s fingers during pelvic
examination.
4. Insertion of the urethroscope into man or woman radio-opaque media for
X-ray diagnosis or bladder irrigation.
5. Tooth drilling, extraction, cleaning or the use of mis-wak and
toothbursh, provided nothing is swallowed into the stomach, do not nullify
fasting.
6. Injections through the skin or muscle or joints or veins, with the
exception ofintravenous feeding.
7 .Blood donation or receiving blood transfusion.
8. Oxygen and anaesthetic gases.
9. All substances absorbed into the body through the skin, such as creams,
ointments, and medicated plaster.
10 .Drawing blood samples for laboratory testing.
11 .Catheter and media for arteriography of heart or other organs.
12 .Endoscopy for diagnostic or intervention purposes.
13. Mouth wash, gargle or oral spray, provided nothing  is swallowed into
the stomach.

Viva Palestina 5 Convoy Log

3,104 Comments

Monday 20th September

The convoy was welcomed in the city of Valux-en-Velin, adjacent to Lyon, by the mayor, M Bernard Genin. The city has the distinction of being the only one in France to fly the Palestinian flag.

But not if the French government gets its way. The regional prefect, responsible for the central government administration of the area, has told the city that the flag has to come down.

‘I’ve written back to him to say that he’s welcome to try,’ responded the mayor, ‘if he can fight his way through the mass crowds who will defend it.’

The convoy left Paris early – the muster was 6am – after another night on the floor of the gymnasium. Most of the 85 had less than four hours sleep, but the road south was mainly motorway and the group, split into three elements, arrived at a service station outside Lyon shortly after 1pm. After a quick lunch provided by local supporters the convoy moved off first to the Hotel de Ville (town hall) in an ear-splitting cacophony of noise, horns honking and the sirens of the two Swedish ambulances screaming.

After the meeting with the mayor the convoy moved off again to the main square in Lyon, the Place Bellecour, parking the 36 vehicles in the middle of it and setting up a stage and amplification for a rally. Hundreds of people crowded around, dozens of postcards and posters were handed out and the organisers had to rebuff the appeals of dozens of people to come on the convoy to Gaza.

After another meal provided by VP local volunteers the convoyers were put up in a hotel, the first time they has slept on a mattress, between clean sheets since they set out.

We ask all Malaysians to pray for the safe, speedy and successful delivery of this aid to the besieged people of Gaza and the safe return of all our volunteers.

It is extremely important that this international convoy is supported and highly publicised. Apart from the delivery of much needed humanitarian aid & highlighting the blockade’s damaging effects, this convoy is the 5th in a series of land convoys and sea flotillas to unrelentlessly make a loud moral statement on Israel’s horrendous crimes in Gaza and to inspire international public opinion to END THE SIEGE. In the words of Nelson Mandela, “justice to the Palestinians, has become the greatest moral issue of our time”

Where world leaders have failed miserably, civil society must take over the initiative to END THE OCCUPATION. To paraphrase Robert Fisk, “Western leaders are too cowardly to help save lives. It is a fact that it is ordinary people, activists, call them what you will, who now take decisions to change events.”

VPM calls upon all peace loving Malaysians to support and widely publicise this humanitarian mission. The land stealing, ethnic cleansing and inhumane treatment of an entire people based on the racist ideology of Zionism is abominable. Freeing Palestine is not simply about restoring a small piece of territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, but is all about fighting for the treasured values of peace, freedom, social justice and democracy.

Let us all together be part of this peaceful civil society initiative to FREE PALESTINE AND END THE OCCUPATION, and galvanise our families and friends to hop on board this month long “LAND CONVOY TO GAZA”.

VIVA PALESTINA MALAYSIA, formerly known as COMPLETE (COALITION OF MALAYSIAN NGOs AGAINST PERSECUTION OF PALESTINIANS) is a coalition of more than 50 NGOs that cuts across racial, religious and political lines in Malaysia. This coalition was formed after the recent escalation of Israel-Palestine conflict that culminated in the invasion of Gaza.   We intend to work closely with foreign NGOs with similar objectives, and together as a worldwide united front of NGOs, act as an effective pressure group to governments, pushing for a just and comprehensive resolution of the conflict.

VIVA PALESTINA MALAYSIA’s VISION:

To effectuate a just, equitable, prompt and sustainable resolution to the conflict in Palestine.
