The Fiqh of Fasting: 6.6 What is Makruh During Fasting

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

6.6 What is Makruh During Fasting

The ‘ulama’ are agreed that telling lies, backbiting, and name calling [abusing or cursing] are not things which break the fast. There are none the less, very much makruh. Imam Awza’i held the opinion that these were things which would actually spoil the fast. The Messenger of Allah, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said that the Almighty is in no need of the fast of the person who dies not leave off speaking falsely and doing wrong. (In other words ones fast will not be accepted).







The Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa'sallam said:
"The Muslim is a unique Ummah among the whole of mankind:
Their Land is ONE, their War is ONE, their Peace is ONE,
Their Honour is ONE and their Trust is ONE."
[Ahmad]
