Etiquettes If Fasting 3. Keep yourself busy in your daily occupation and be active and cheerful in work so as to avoid hypocrisy and false appearance during fasting. Do not show weakness or lethargy in your behaviour during the fast. Hadrat Abu Huraira (R. A.) remarked: “When a man observes fasts he ought to anoint himself with oil as usual so that the effects of fasting do not show off”. 4. Make your best effort to avoid all forms of evil during fast, because the very objective of the fast is to purge the life of a man of all evil and make it righteous. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) affirmed: “Fast serves as a shield. When any of you are in a state of fasting, he should take care not to utter any evil speech by his tongue or to start an affray. In case some one starts railing at him or is inclined to start a fight with him, the man who is fasting should reflect that he is in a state of fasting” (how can he reciprocate offensive language?)
