Fast According to Quran & Sunnah

Ṣawm (fasting) is the third pillar of Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Allah says: ‘Every deed of the son of Ādam is for him, except fasting; it is for Me, and I shall reward for it.’” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī & Muslim]

This book presents the essential rulings and main issues pertaining to fasting in a clear and accessible manner. Its primary aim is to serve as an easy-to-use and reliable reference for every Muslim seeking to observe this pillar of Islam correctly and with full understanding.
