Sinning while fasting [does it break the fast?]
Webmaster
It is reported that ‘Umar – Allâh be pleased
with him – said:
Fasting does not mean keeping away from only
food and drink, it also means keeping away from lying, falsehood, inanity and
swearing [by Allâh without need].
It is reported that Mujâhid – Allâh have mercy
on him – said:
There are two practices, if a person can keep
himself from them, his fast will be secured for him: backbiting and lying.
It is related that Abul-’Âliyah – Allâh have mercy
on him – said:
The fasting person is in a state of worship as
long as he does not backbite.
It is reported that Hafsah bint Sîrîn –
Allâh have mercy on her – said:
Fasting is a shield as long as one does not
tear it, and tearing it is when you backbite.
