Sunan Ibn Majah 1705 (Book 7, Hadith 68) #31057
The Benefits of Breaking the Fast

SUMMARY: Fasting continuously is not beneficial and will not be rewarded.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Shikhkhir that his father said: "The Prophet said: 'Whoever fasts continually, he neither fasts nor breaks his fast.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ مَنْ صَامَ الأَبَدَ، فَلاَ صَامَ وَلاَ أَفْطَرَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Take breaks in between your fastings days so you can appreciate all of Allah's blessings and reflect on your faith.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that fasting continuously is not beneficial and will not be rewarded. It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Shikhkhir that his father said that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever fasts continually, he neither fasts nor breaks his fast.” This means that if someone chooses to fast every day without taking a break, then they are not actually fasting in the way it was intended by Allah. The Prophet Muhammad taught us that we should take breaks in between our fasting days so we can enjoy life and appreciate all of Allah’s blessings. Taking a break from fasting allows us to reflect on our faith and practice self-discipline when it comes to food consumption.
