Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is it that has befallen people in matters of religion? Is it the one who carries out everything that has come and leaves everything he is forbidden from? Or is it the one who does it when he worships? And leaves it when he…? Or is it the one
Answer:
Excessive strictness is well known. Excessive strictness is to fast all one’s life and never break the fast, and not to eat the good things, not to eat meat, not to eat vegetables, and this is excessive strictness. And to fast and pray all night without sleeping; this is excessive strictness, this is excessive strictness. Or not to marry women; they claim that he devotes himself to worship and that children are a distraction that occupies him. This is the excessive strictness that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade. He prays and sleeps, he fasts and breaks his fast, he marries women, and he eats meat.[Al-Ma'idah 5:87] for you. This is excessive strictness.
