Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the fast is a voluntary fast, should the fasting person announce aloud, “I am fasting,” if he is insulted?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. In a voluntary fast, he does so to make it clear that, were he not fasting, he would have responded to the one who spoke ill of him. He also does so to restrain himself, especially if he fears Allah, so that he holds back from responding. Yes.
