The ruling on the fasting of one who sleeps the entire day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh Salih, in Ramadan I spend my day sleeping or relaxing, as I am unable to work due to the intensity of my hunger and thirst. Does this affect the validity of the fast?
Answer:
It does not affect the validity of the fast if you do not consume anything that breaks the fast. Rather, it is merely that you sleep much of the day, or do nothing except stand for the obligatory prayers; this does not affect the fast. However, it is better that you be active and do whatever works you are able to do, especially the voluntary prayers, reciting the Qur'an, and what brings you closer to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Do not let your works be idle in the month of Ramadan. Yes.
