Abu Hurairah narrated that : The Prophet said: "When one of you is invited (to a meal) and he is fasting, then let him said: 'Indeed I am fasting'."
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us that it is important for Muslims to be kind and courteous in all situations, even when declining invitations or requests from others. We can learn from this hadith that politeness and respect should always be shown towards others, no matter what situation we find ourselves in. Additionally, this hadith reminds us of the importance of observing our religious obligations such as fasting during Ramadan or other times throughout the year as well.
