How do the limbs fast in Ramadan?

Question : Honorable Shaykh Muhammad, one of the questions we have is: How do the limbs fast in Ramadan?

Answer : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, the seal of the Prophets and the leader of the righteous. Fasting the limbs in Ramadan means refraining from sins. That is, the tongue does not speak what is forbidden, the hand does not act in what is forbidden, the foot does not walk toward what is forbidden, the ear does not listen to what is forbidden, and the eye does not look at what is forbidden. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): This is the fasting of the limbs. And part of fasting the limbs is performing what Allah has made obligatory, from the fard and wajib duties owed to Allah and those owed to knowledge.
