This is a translation one of the smaller publications from the works of
Shaykh Al-Islam Taqiuddin Ahmad bin 'Abdul-Halim Ibn Taymiyyah. It has
been published in this form a variety of times with a number of minor
additions to the text under the title, "Haqiqatus-Siyam," or, "The
Nature of Fasting." We have revised our version to meet the source
section of Majmu' AI-Fatawa (25:219) from where it appears that the
original booklet - with the exception of the questions, of which most
appear on earlier pages - has been taken.
We have inserted brackets to
signify the additions, which earlier publishers probably took from
other sections of his writings. We have also added brief references to
the text for the Hadiths. I would like to express gratitude to brother
Ebrahim Aly Ma'rouf for the original translation of this booklet, and
the Darussalam staff for their editing and layout work.
