Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: When is a person described as being extreme in Islam?
Answer:
When he goes beyond what is obligatory, meaning he imposes hardship on himself, such as the one who fasts and never breaks his fast, the one who prays all night and does not sleep, or the one who does not marry women for the sake of worshipping Allah.

Do not be extreme, O person. Be moderate. Do not be lax, and do not be extreme. Be moderate, with no excess and no negligence.
