Excess in eating and drinking in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people are extravagant in their food and drinks, so we find, I mean, the tables are filled with varieties of food?
Answer:
Answer: This is contrary to the Sunnah. The month of Ramadan is not a month for food, drink, and overeating, but rather it is the month of fasting. One should take only what he needs when breaking his fast. As for varying the foods and varying the iftar, if the month of Ramadan becomes a month for eating and drinking rather than a month for fasting, one should lighten the food. This is especially so because he will stand in night prayer and needs to lighten his food and drink, for if he fills his stomach with food and drink, he becomes lazy about prayer and worship.
