Explaining the virtue of being occupied with preparing the iftar for fasting people
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q350: If a woman spends most of her time in the kitchen, especially during the days of Ramadan, preparing the iftar and food, and also on ordinary days, but she turns away from some acts of worship, such as tasbih, dhikr, and reading the Qur'an, how should she deal with that?
A350: Praise be to Allah. She is in a state of worship; because as long as she is preparing food and iftar for the fasting people, she is in a state of worship, and she is rewarded for that. This is from one aspect. The second aspect is that it does not prevent dhikr. If she memorizes the Qur'an, she can recite it from memory. Likewise, tasbih, tahlil, and takbir; being occupied in the kitchen does not prevent her from the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
