What is the joy of the fasting person that occurs at the time of breaking the fast?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This female questioner, Honorable Shaykh, N.M.S. from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, says in this question: It was mentioned in the hadith Allah the Mighty and Majestic. So what is the joy that occurs at the time of breaking the fast? Is it his feeling of faith-based joy when he eats or breaks his fast every day, or is it the joy of the day of 'Id al-Fitr?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, until the Day of Judgment. The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that "the fasting person has two joys" includes the one who fasts in Ramadan and the one who fasts at other times.
The presenter : All right.
The Shaykh : Based on this, the joy occurs every day, and his joy is at his breaking of the fast. He rejoices in two things.
The presenter : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : The first thing is rejoicing in what Allah has granted him by way of worshipping Allah the Exalted through fasting that day. If it is from Ramadan, he rejoices that Allah the Exalted has granted him the performance of a day that Allah made obligatory upon him, and how many people have turned away and been arrogant and did not fast it. If it is voluntary, he rejoices that Allah the Exalted has granted him this fast by which Allah completes what is lacking in the obligatory fast.
As for the second joy, it is his joy in what has been made permissible for him of the pleasures of eating, drinking, and intercourse after he was prohibited from them in the obligatory fast. Thus, he rejoices in that. This is the meaning of the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): "The fasting person has two joys." His joy at his breaking of the fast is, in reality, two joys: joy in what Allah has granted him by way of performing this act of worship, and joy in what Allah has allowed him to refrain from regarding the pleasures of food, drink, and intercourse.
As for the second joy, it is his joy when he meets his Lord, where he finds the reward for this fast with Allah the Exalted. It is established in the authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that... from Him. Allah the Exalted said in the Qudsi hadith: Sunan Ibn Majah 3823
that the fasting person has two joys: a joy when he breaks his fast and a joy when he meets

قائم.Allah the Blessed and Exalted will reward him
يجزيه الله تبارك وتعالىEvery deed of the son of Adam will be multiplied for him, between ten and seven hundred times for each merit. Allah said: 'Except for fasting, for it is for Me and I shall reward for it.'
كل عمل ابن آدم له حسنة بعشر أمثالها إلا الصوم إنه لي وأنا أجزي به
