The Impact of Voluntary Fasting on the Muslim
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there is no doubt that, as the questioner says, fasting has an effect on the Muslim in the rectification of his heart and his limbs. Do the voluntary fasts of Monday and Thursday and the white days also fall under this effect on the Muslim?
Answer:
All obedience and all worship, whether obligatory or recommended, including fasting and other acts, have an impact if Allah the Exalted accepts them and they are performed according to the Sunnah, in the correct manner and the prescribed way. They undoubtedly have an effect; they affect character, they affect behavior, and they affect a person's life. They have a visible effect, and that is why you find the difference between the people of obedience and the people of sin. Yes.
