ANSWER:

Chatting and texting the opposite gender is sinful and it reduces the reward of fasting. It defies the purpose of fasting as the Prophet salla Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam had said: whoever doesn’t abandon falsehood, acting upon it and ignorance, Allah has no need for him to leave food and drink!

In this month of Ramadan, the youth have many questions regarding fasting. Many ask if texting or chatting with friends of the opposite sex will ruin your fasting? If so, will it break the fast or decrease it’s reward significantly?
