What is the ruling on someone else speaking obscenities to me while I am fasting?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no sin upon you, nor any decrease in the reward of your fasting, if someone speaks obscenely in your presence while you are fasting; for the burden of sin is upon him alone, as Allah Almighty says: "And every soul earns not [sin] except against itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another." Nevertheless, you should advise this person and caution him about the impermissibility of obscene speech.
