Question:
Honorable Shaykh, we fast on scorching summer days, and we fast in winter and in summer. Is the reward the same?
Answer:
The matter concerns the intention, not the hardship. It is about the intention and sincerity. If a person intends to worship Allah and is sincere in his worship for Allah, he receives the great reward. As for the hardship, or the lack of it, that is a natural thing. Yes.
