The
One Who Complains of Hunger and Thirst While Fasting
By the Noble
Scholar of Islām, al-‘Allāmah, Aḥmad al-Najmī
Translated by Abū al-Ḥasan Mālik Ādam al- Akhḍar
Questioner
What
is the ruling concerning the person who while fasting complains to others about
the burden of al-Sawn, as in his statement, ”I am hungry” and “I feel
hungry and thirsty”? Does this nullify the reward? - as this is often heard
from some who fast.
Al-‘Allāmah Aḥmad al-Najmī
I
have previously stated that al-Sawn is only invalidated by that which
breaks the fast; and it appears that [this complaining] diminishes its reward, if by this the
person intends to express displeasure with fasting, and success is from Allāh.
