10.After Intercourse:

Many men believe that if he has had intercourse with his wife and did not make ghusl (similar to the above) then he cannot fast the next morning. This is also incorrect, for he can fast even if he has not made ghusl.

11.Prayer Times:

Some people pray Dhur and Asr prayers together during Ramadan. This is incorrect and should be avoided.

Some people believe you cannot eat until the caller to prayer is done calling the Maghrib Adhan. This is incorrect, as soon as he starts a person can break their fast.

Many people don’t take advantage of making dua before they break their fast. This is one of the three times when Allah accepts a person dua.

Many people make the mistake of spending the later part of Ramadan preparing for Eid, neglecting Ramadan. This is incorrect and these people lose the concept of what Ramadan is about.

15.Manners:

Some people think Ramadan is just about refraining from eating and that it is nothing to do with one’s behavior. In fact we are supposed to control our tempers and badmouthing more during Ramadan.

Putting water inside nose and mouth during wudu would break fast is another wrong perception.
