What is the implication for the one who fasts the entire year regarding Hellfire?

General Chapter

Al-Mughni

Book of Fasting

Book 9 · Issue 2 · Bab 1

Open in Qurani

Primary text

The one who fasts the entire year will have Hellfire narrowed against him, implying he will be saved from it or it will have less dominion over him. This is based on the Prophetic statement narrated from Abu Musa.

Supporting text

A divergent interpretation suggests that the one who fasts the entire year will not enter the Hellfire, although this is challenged by the existence of narrations that discourage perpetual fasting.
