The Complete, Whole Body Fast

AbdurRahman.org

During a conference [four] years ago, we came across the statement of Shaikh Saleh Al-Ash-Shaikh (hafidhahullaah), who said:

“Our fasting should have an impact on our limbs.

Jabir ibn Abdullaah (radiallaahu ‘anhu) said:

When you fast, your hearing has to fast, your sight has to fast, your tongue has to fast. …And do not make your fasting day like your normal day.

This is the complete fast.”

Allaah’s Messenger (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) asked an Ansaari woman, “What prevented you from performing Hajj with us?” She replied, “We have a camel and the father of so-and-so and his son (i.e. her husband and her son) rode it and left one camel for us to use for irrigation.” He said (to her), “Perform ‘Umra when Ramadaan comes, for ‘Umra in Ramadaan is equal to Hajj (in reward)” or said something similar.
