The ruling on the fasting of one who cheats during his fast in an exam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was received by the program from the listener Abdullah Burjis, in which he says: I broke my fast last year in the blessed month of Ramadan for one day due to a valid religious excuse, which was travel, and I made up that day, praise be to Allah. That day happened to be one of the days of study. I tried to cheat, and in fact, I cheated on one part of one question during the exam, knowing that this exam was a monthly exam. Was my fasting affected by what I did?
Answer:
The fast is valid, but it is diminished by sin. Sins diminish the fast, and they diminish acts of worship, and they diminish faith. All sins diminish faith and weaken faith, but they do not invalidate the fast. So if a person fasts and commits a sin, such as cheating, backbiting, or lying, his fast is valid, but it will be deficient. It is not of the same kind as the fast of one whom Allah has protected from such a sin. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
