Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If I abstain from my desire out of fear of fasting for two months, do I fall under what Allah the Exalted said in the hadith?
Answer:
If you abstain from your desire, meaning you refrain from intercourse and the urges for intercourse with your wife in order to protect your fast, then you will be rewarded. You will be rewarded for abstaining from it, for you have left your desire, and part of that is that you fear the expiation. However, your fear should not be solely of the expiation; your fear should be of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
