The Meaning of Fasting in the Path of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Whoever fasts a day in the path of Allah, Allah will distance him from the Fire and from the grave. Is this specific to military expeditions, or does it apply generally to fasting in general?
The Shaykh:
No, the meaning of "in the path of Allah" is in obedience to Allah.
The questioner:
Obedience.
The Shaykh:
Because the one on a military expedition derived the innate disposition from it.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
He strengthens himself with it for worship.
The questioner:
What Allah willed for you. And the one who read the end of Shawwal, may Allah forgive him.
The Shaykh:
He should review the 'Asr prayer, he should review the 'Asr prayer, yes.
