Summary
The ruling explains that only those with strong faith are able to fast, while those who are weak and easily follow their desires find it very difficult. Citing Imam al-Munawi, Allah personally handles the reward for fasting without delegating it to angels or any other creature. This is because fasting is a secret between Allah and His servant, and the reward is given for restraining oneself from desires under Allah's watch.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ini kerana mereka yang mempunyai keimanan yang kental sahaja mampu melakukan amalan puasa, sebaliknya mereka yang goyah dan mudah mengikut hawa nafsu amat sukar baginya untuk melakukan ibadat puasa.
