Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Hādī al-Madkhali advises that if a Muslim is invited to eat during the day in Ramadan, they should clearly explain that fasting is obligatory and eating is prohibited. They should state this politely, as if they are in a non-Muslim environment.

Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Hādī al-Madkhali explains that those who appear Sunni yet sit with innovators are more dangerous than the innovators themselves. Their deception misleads others, as people assume their companionship implies correctness, ultimately pulling them away from the methodology of Ahl al-Sunnah.

Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan describes the Ramadan practices of the Salaf, who dedicated themselves to worship and reduced worldly affairs. They spent time in the masājid, guarded their fast, avoided backbiting, recited the Qurʾān, and engaged in night prayer and good deeds throughout the day.

Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Hādī al-Madkhali explains that followers of ʿAlī al-Halabī fall into two categories: those who are knowingly fanatic and are treated as his companions, and those who were deceived and should be advised. If they persist after clear evidence, they are then treated like the first group.
Jurisprudence
Shaykh ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Bāz explains that the saying “those who only know Allah ﷻ in Ramadan will not be successful” is attributed to the Salaf and refers to those who abandon obligatory worship after Ramadan. He clarifies that neglecting voluntary acts outside Ramadan is not sinful.

Fasting
