Guidance for those who exaggerate in the quantity of food and drink in Ramadan

Question : The exaggeration in serving food and drink in the month of Ramadan. Perhaps, Shaykh Muhammad, you could give some guidance on this, Shaykh (may Allah preserve you)?

Answer : I say that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) commanded us to eat and drink, but He said: and extravagance is exceeding the limit. What a person should do is not to be extravagant in food and drink until he reaches Ramadan, and his food and drink should be as usual, because there is no need for that. But, unfortunately, some people have made Ramadan a recreation, as if it were a leisure trip. They serve various types of food and drink in the nights, and they engage in various types of amusement. They stay up all night, and in the day you find them sleeping, and some of them may even sleep through the obligatory prayers. This is a problematic matter.
Therefore, I warn my brothers against being extravagant in food and drink, and I also warn them against wasting time in this great season, because it is a season that does not repeat every week, but it comes only once a year. It is a season that may not return to a person after his year. How many have wished to meet this month but did not meet it?
And how many have hoped to start it to complete it, but did not complete it? So beware, with great caution, of wasting these great seasons with what is of no benefit or profit.
