Summary
Sins are not multiplied in number, whether in Ramadan or at other times, as only rewards are multiplied. However, a sin becomes graver and more serious when committed at a noble time or place such as Ramadan. Scholars such as Ibn Rajab and Ibn al-Jawzi stated that the narration claiming sins are multiplied in Ramadan is not authentic.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dosa atau maksiat tidak digandakan dari segi jumlahnya, namun kesalahannya menjadi lebih berat dan besar apabila dilakukan pada bulan Ramadan.
