Question:
This questioner, Shaykh Salih, says: What is the meaning of the hadith, “Fasting when the people fast, and breaking the fast when the people break it”?
Answer:
Yes, its meaning is that a person does not deviate or separate himself from the people of the country in which he resides. Rather, he fasts with the people when they fast, and breaks his fast with the people when they break theirs. He does not, and does not, remain separate and oppose them. For in that, in that, lies great sin, and in it is the division of the word, and in it is bad suspicion. Yes.
