fasts her month (Ramadan),
guards her chastity and 
obeys her husband,

it will be said to her: ‘Enter Paradise by whichever of the gates of Paradise you wish.'”

Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj with the Prophet (pbuh)

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (Radhiallāhu 'anhu): 

When the Prophet (Sallallāhu alayhi wa sallam) returned after performing his hajj, he asked Umm Sinan Al-Ansari, "What did forbid you to perform hajj?" She replied, "Father of so-and-so (i.e. her husband) had two camels and he performed hajj on one of them, and the second is used for the irrigation of our land." 

Prophet of Allah (Sallallāhu alayhi wa sallam) said (to her), "Perform umrah in the month of ramadan, (as it is equivalent to hajj or hajj with me (in reward)."

Narrated Abu Huraira (RadhiAllahu 'anhu),

Allah's Messenger (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

"Fasting is a shield (or a screen or a shelter). So, the person observing fasting should avoid sexual relation with his wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should tell him twice, 'I am fasting." 

The Prophet ﷺ added, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. (Allah says about the fasting person), 'He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The fast is for Me. So I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times."

Safeguarding As-Saum (The Fast)

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anha) reported: The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "If one does not eschew lies and false conduct, Allah has no need that he should abstain from his food and his drink.''

[Al-Bukhari].


Commentary:
This Hadith exhorts those observing Saum to fulfill all the requirements of fasting. One should not conduct himself in such a manner that on the one side he observes Saum and on the other he is fearless of Allah. To save himself from Allah's wrath and to get the reward of the fasts, one must abstain from all sorts of vices, such as cheating, lying, backbiting, and using obscene language. The threat held against such people in this Hadith should make them fear that their Saum will go waste and they would be deprived of its reward. It does not mean that such people should start eating and drinking during Saum but what is intended is that they should save themselves from all kinds of sins so that they may earn the reward of Saum.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary:
