Fasting with the Intention of Weight Loss and Treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Some people do what is called a fasting diet. To reduce the fat in their bodies. Leave it as it is.
The Shaykh:
It is partial. If it is beneficial and there is no harm, if it is beneficial, he fasts for the sake of Allah, and he sees it as a treatment, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding fasting.
The questioner:
It is permissible, I advise you, and it is correct.
The Shaykh:
He fasts his plates.
The questioner:
I arrived.
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is no harm in it, yes, travel and you will gain, yes.
The questioner:
I traveled.
The Shaykh:
In some cases, traveling is valid, in some cases, fasting is valid, and in some cases, traveling and gaining is permissible and there is no harm in it. Yes.
