Singling out Ramadan for worship and being lenient after it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh says: Some people single out Ramadan for increased worship and care, and when Ramadan ends, they become lax in the remaining months until the next Ramadan arrives.
Answer:
Yes, Ramadan has a distinct virtue without a doubt; it is an excellent time in which good deeds and righteous works are multiplied. However, it is not befitting for the Muslim’s effort in the sunnah, recommended practices, and acts of obedience to be confined to Ramadan alone. Rather, he should strive in the recommended acts of worship along with the obligatory ones, performing the obligatory acts at all times, for he is in need of that. Yes.
