The Hadiths Corruption Of The Word SIAM

What The Sectarians Claim:
The "Siyam" is intended to teach Muslims patience and self-control, and to remind them of the less fortunate in the world. The fast is also seen as a debt owed by the Muslim to God. Faithful observance of the "Siyam" is believed to atone for personal faults and misdeeds, at least in part, and to help earn a place in paradise. It is also believed to be beneficial for personal conduct, that is, to help control impulses, passions and temper. The fast is also meant to provide time for meditation and to strengthen one's faith.
While fasting in the month of Ramadan is considered "Fard "(obligatory), Islam also prescribes certain days for non-obligatory, voluntary fasting, such as:

• The 13th, 14th, and 15th of every lunar month
• Each Monday and Thursday of a week
• Six days in the month of Shawwal (the month following Ramadan)
• Every other day, also known as the fast of the prophet David

Fasting is forbidden on these days:

• Eid Fitr (1st Shawwal) and Eid Adha (10th Dhulhijjah) - According to all Muslims.
• Tashriq (11th, 12th, 13th Dhulhijjah) - According to the Sunnis only.
• The Day of Arafat (9th of Dhu al-Hijjah in the Hijri(Islamic calendar)). (Again, according to Sunnis only - Only pilgrims to Mecca are forbidden to fast.)
• The Day of Ashura, which is the tenth day of Muharram (first month in Islamic Calendar.)) (Haraam for South Asian Shia only, Makruh for most other Shia).

Although fasting at Ramadan is fard (obligatory), exceptions are made for persons in particular circumstances:

• Prepubescent children; though some parents will encourage their children to fast earlier for shorter periods, so the children get used to fasting.
• Unconditional vomiting because the food leaves through an unintentional part of the gut.
• Serious illness; the days lost to illness will have to be made up after recovery.
• If one is traveling but one must make up any days missed upon arriving at one's destination.
• A woman during her menstrual period; although she must count the days she missed and make them up later but before arrival of the next Ramadan.
• A woman till forty days after giving birth to child or miscarriage. But she must count the day she missed in Ramadan and make up later but before the arrival of the next Ramadan.
• An ill person or old person who is not physically able to fast. They should donate the amount of a normal person's diet for each day missed if they are financially capable.
• A mentally ill person.
• For elders who will not be able to fast, a lunch meal (or an equivalent amount of money) is to be donated to the poor or needy for each day of missed fasting.

If you claim to not follow hadith, why do you follow hadith claiming that SIAM means refrain from food, drink and relation with ones wife.. exactly like the hadiths are claiming? you make that type of fasting obligatory on yourself, just like the hadith-followers! SIAM صوم means refrain/abstine from something, indeed, but not from food, drink and relation with ones wife.. how could it be so? refraining from these things for an extended time puts one and others in serious health risks, SIAM is a punishment not a blessing! why forbid the good things which God has made lawful to you? 

Ṣawm is derived from Syriac: ṣawmā. Literally, it means "to abstain", cognates to Hebrew tsom. Wikipedia

The words "food" and "drink" have been added to the meaning of SAIM. The Arab scholars have a long history in changing the meanings of Arabic words (among altering their months.). Words like "haram" which means forbidden suddenly becomes "sacred" while mentioned with Mecca or "Ramadan",  "hijab" becomes head cover for women (also covering a woman's entire body accept face, hands and feet), "hajj" becomes pilgrimage to Mecca, "qibla" becomes prayer direction towards Mecca, "Bakka" becomes "Mecca", God's "Sunna" becomes Mohammad's "sunna", etc. have been altered!
