Explaining that sins diminish the reward of the fasting person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q363: The questioner asks: What is the meaning of this hadith: Sahih al-Bukhari 1903 ? Is it authentic?
A363: Al-Bukhari narrated this hadith in his Sahih. Backbiting and talebearing diminish fasting and harm it. The fast of the one who backbites may be transferred to those he backbited, and they will take it from him on the Day of Resurrection by way of retaliation for the injustice. Therefore, the Muslim should fast his hearing, his sight, and his tongue from everything that Allah has forbidden.
(Glorified and Exalted is He). Fasting is not merely abstaining from food and drink; rather, it includes abstaining from backbiting, talebearing, listening to what is forbidden, and looking at what is forbidden. One should fast his limbs just as he fasts his stomach and his private parts from intercourse while he is fasting.
Whoever does not give up forged speech and evil actions, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink
