Does the fast of one who became angry and scolded or cursed in Ramadan become invalidated?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Fasting is not invalidated by swearing or cursing, but it reduces the reward. Therefore, a Muslim should guard their tongue from forbidden acts such as backbiting and tale-bearing, as these are more severely prohibited during fasting. They should also say, "Indeed, I am fasting," if someone curses them.
