Refraining from using one%u2019s tongue, body, or senses in that which lacks benefit.Refraining from excessive speech and permissible actions that have no benefit.As for refraining from that which is haram (such as slander, backbiting, and lying), that should certainly be emphasized in Ramadan and is an obligation at all times and engaging in it is haram at any time. The Prophet (pbuh) said, %u201cWhoever does not give up forged speech and evil actions and does not abandon foolishness, Allah is not in need of him leaving food and drink.%u201d [Bukhari, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, al-Nasa%u2019i, ibn Majah]Response to ill Speech While Fasting:The Prophet (pbuh) said, %u201cWhen any one of you is observing saum (fasting) on a day, he should neither indulge in obscene language nor should he raise the voice, and if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him, he should say: %u2018I am observing fast.%u201dWould quarreling or using obscene language during fasting invalidate one%u2019s fast?It does not necessarily invalidate the fast; it nullifies its reward. The Muslim must observe self-control and refrain from the use of obscene language, slander, backbiting, and actions of the like whilst fasting and at all other times. He/she must be more keen than usual to observe these guidelines while fasting in order to earn the complete reward of the day's fast.If one is in a state of janabah and does not perform ghusl before fajrtime has entered, is his/her fasting valid?Yes, it is valid. Evidence for this is the narration of the Mother of the Believers, A%u2019isha (ra), stating that the Prophet (pbuh) was at times in a state of janabah due to sexual intercourse and not due to a wet dream and the dawn broke upon him, but he neither broke the fast nor recompensed.
