Am I rewarded for cooking In Ramadan? | Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan

 
 
Am I rewarded for cooking In Ramadan? | Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan
The sister asks:
Q: The Muslim woman often spends a large portion of her time busy in the kitchen preparing various types of food, so misses out on the opportunities of the month [of Ramadan] O shaykh. Do you have any guidance for her and will she be rewarded for cooking?
 
... Shaikh Salih Ibn Fawzan:
A: Yes, she will be rewarded for this because she is preparing food for the fasting people and this is from cooperation upon righteousness and piety and she will be rewarded for this. Cooking and [house] work does not prevent her from saying

سبحان الله, لا اله إلا الله, الله أكبر
Subhana Allah, Lailaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar.

and reciting what she has memorised from the Qur'an. Cooking should not prevent her from the dhikr of Allah A
zza wa Jal.
 

When the time for a prescribed Salat ..

When the time for a prescribed Salat is due
عن عثمان بن عفان رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: "ما من امرئ مسلم تحضره صلاة مكتوبة فيحسن وضوءها وخشوعها وركوعها إلا كانت كفارة لما قبلها من الذنوب مالم تؤتَ كبيرة وذلك الدهر كله" ((رواه مسلم)).

‘Uthman bin ‘Affan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I heard Messenger of Allah (SAW) saying, “When the time for a prescribed Salat is due and a Muslim performs its Wudu’ and its acts of bowing and prostration properly, this Salat will be an expiation for his past sins, so long as he does not commit major sins, and this applies for ever."
