IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS RAMADHAN SIRI KE-118: BENARKAH UNGKAPAN 'JANGAN BERIBADAH KERANA RAMADHAN'
Is the saying "do not worship because of Ramadan" valid, and is it wrong to worship more in Ramadan than in other months?
Short answer
Increasing acts of worship in Ramadan is encouraged, and the advice not to worship merely because of Ramadan does not conflict with this.

Summary
Increasing acts of worship in Ramadan is encouraged, and the advice not to worship merely because of Ramadan does not conflict with this. The Prophet SAW intensified his worship, especially in the last ten nights of Ramadan. The same earnestness should be carried over into the other months so that devotion to Allah remains continuous.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
ibadah pada bulan Ramadhan adalah digalakkan untuk kita memperbanyakkannya. Nasihat yang dinyatakan di atas tidaklah bercanggah.
