Summary
The fatwa states that there are levels among those who fast, depending on how they guard their deeds and conduct. Following Imam al-Ghazali, fasting has three ranks: general fasting, which restrains the stomach and desire; special fasting, which guards the hearing, sight, speech and all senses from sin; and the most special fasting, which guards the heart from worldly concerns and devotes it to Allah and the hereafter. Muslims are encouraged to increase their good deeds to strengthen faith and piety, and Allah raises the rank of those who do so sincerely.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
