*PUNISHMENT FOR DELIBERATELY BREAKING OBLIGATORY FAST* Abu Umāmah al-Bāhili said: I heard the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ say: *"Whilst I was sleeping, two men came to me and took hold of my upper arm, and brought me to a rugged mountain. They said: 'Climb up.'* *I said: 'I cannot do it.'* *They said: 'We will make it easy for you.'* *So I climbed up until I was at the top of the mountain. There I heard loud voices. I said: 'What are these voices?'* *They said: 'This is the screaming of the people of Hell.'* *Then I was taken and I saw people suspended by their ankles, with the corners of their mouths torn and pouring with blood. I said: 'Who are these?'* *They said: 'These are the people who used to break their fast before it was time to do so.'"* {Ibn Hibbān #7491} Sheikh al-Albāni said: "I say, this is the punishment of those who fasted then broke the fast deliberately before the time for breaking the fast had come. So how about those who did not fast in the first place?!" 📖 Sahīh Mawārid ad-Dam’ān #1509
