Summary
This Bayan Linnas explains that fasting is more than abstaining from hunger and thirst, as it trains a person to control emotions and desires. This training helps spouses act rationally, avoid answering anger with anger, and hold back from things that could damage the household. During Ramadan Muslims also learn to give up what is normally lawful, including marital relations, as practice in setting limits on strong desires.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, hikmah Ramadan pada kesejahteraan rumahtangga adalah dengan melatih dan mengajar kita supaya sentiasa terkawal dalam memilih antara baik dan buruk.
