Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. It is narrated from some of the Salaf that it is disliked to name this month other than as the month of Ramadan, and that mentioning it in isolation is prohibited. Is this correct, Honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
In my view, this is not correct, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever stands the night of Ramadan..."
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
...in faith and seeking reward.
The questioner:
In al-Bukhari's collection.
The Shaykh:
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2194Sahih (Darussalam). So Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: [Al-Baqarah 2:185] But it is permissible to say "Ramadan" without "month," because the word of addition, as we have mentioned, is for distinction—distinguishing this month from others. Yes.
