Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. A woman asks, Shaykh: In the hadith, "The fasting person has two joys," is the joy here physical or spiritual?

Answer:
The joy is physical, meaning he rejoices and feels at ease. This happens when he breaks his fast by eating and drinking after having been prohibited from doing so. He may have been thirsty or hungry, so he rejoices when Allah permits him to eat and drink after the prohibition. This is his joy when he breaks his fast. As for his joy when he meets his Lord, it is what he finds from Allah of the reward for fasting. The fasting people have a special gate in Paradise from which they enter, and no one else enters from it. When they enter, it is closed; it is called al-Rayyan. Yes.
