Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding, Honorable Shaykh, the hadith “Fast, and you will be healthy,” how authentic is this hadith?
Answer:
This is a weak hadith, but its meaning is correct. Fasting brings health to the body because it reduces the consumption of desires and the mixtures of food in the stomach, and it makes it easier for the stomach to digest food. Thus, there is no doubt that it brings health to the body. Likewise, all the ordinances of Islam, praise be to Allah, are all good, all a blessing, all health for the bodies, and strength for the faith. Yes.
