A Summary of the Fundamentals of Ahl al-Sunnah:

2
00:00:09,730 --> 00:00:11,730
Among the essential requirements of fasting

3
00:00:11,730 --> 00:00:15,400
is that the God-consciousness (taqwa) it cultivates

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,399
obliges a person to exhibit good character,

5
00:00:18,399 --> 00:00:21,399
and to refrain from false speech and foolish behavior toward others;

6
00:00:21,399 --> 00:00:26,399
otherwise, fasting will not yield its intended fruit.

7
00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:29,500
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

8
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:32,500
"When any of you is fasting on a given day,

9
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:35,500
he should neither indulge in obscenity nor raise his voice in anger.

10
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:38,500
And if someone insults him or picks a fight with him,

11
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:41,500
let him say, 'I am a fasting person.'"

12
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:45,200
Agreed upon.
