What is the authenticity of the saying that fasting is suspended until Zakat al-Fitr is paid?

Question : Shaykh Muhammad, some of the common people or some people repeat regarding the fasting of Ramadan that it is suspended between the sky and the earth and is not raised except by Zakat al-Fitr. What is the authenticity of this statement? We ask for your guidance. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment. This statement has no basis. It is not authentic, and it is not permissible for people to transmit it and attribute it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), for lying about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is not like lying about an ordinary person. Whoever deliberately lies about him (peace and blessings be upon him) should take his place in the Fire. The acceptance of righteous deeds requires two conditions. The first condition is sincerity to Allah the Exalted, and the second condition is following the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). So whoever does a deed in which he associates others with Allah, it is rejected from him, by the saying of Allah the Exalted and by His saying in the Holy Hadith that is his shirk (associating partners with Allah).
Likewise, whoever does a deed with sincerity but it was not in accordance with the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it is not accepted from him. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him) .
If sincerity to Allah and following His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) are present in the worship, then this is the cause of acceptance. However, there may be obstacles that prevent the acceptance of the worship, but this is not the place to elaborate on them so that we do not take up too much time.
