Fasting, besides refraining one from things that invalidate the fast such as eating and drinking, fasting also has the role of refraining one from doing bad and useless things. Fasting is not only to prevent the desires of lust, even Allah SWT commands his people to protect all other parts of the body from committing unlawful and unbeneficial things.

This is because it can damage and reduce the reward of fasting. The matter was one of the contents of the Friday Sermon titled 'Menjaga Adab Ketika Berpuasa' or Observing Manners While Fasting. The sermon also shared the etiquettes that need to be observed while fasting.

The Imam or Prayer Leader said firstly, to control and shield one eyes from looking at things that are prohibited by the Sharia' and may distract the heart from remembering Allah. Secondly, to close the ears from hearing forbidden things. Thirdly, to safeguard the tongue from uttering useless words. Fourthly, protecting all other body parts from committing unlawful and non-beneficial things.
