Do Not Break the Shield of Fasting
Reading Time: < 1 minute
- It comes in the Hadeeth that Fasting is a shield as long as it is not broken apart (that is, ruined by the fasting person) with lies and backbiting.
- Fasting does the work of a shield.
- This is when it is protected from sins.
- If a person fasted, but never abstained from backbiting, lies and other sins, then although the Fardh will be discharged, however the sin in it is grave.
- The blessings of the fast will not be accrued in that case.
(Behshti Zewar)
