As for fasting, it is a divine attribute, so it is obligatory for this killer to perform it if he does not expiate by reciprocity or feeding. If you refuse, then refrain from being confined so that the hunter who kills the game is not interdicted, so it does not cost him anything. He said, “And what is it?” He said, “Fasting is for me, and I am not described as being restricted, so you wear my attribute and you get it.” In the fever due to quarantine on you, then if you fast, fasting is for me and hunger is for you. In fasting, the hunger for you that is not mine is an expiation, because hunger is one of the causes that remove life from the living, so I am like killing, which is the cause that removes life from the living, and your life is not removed by this hunger because it is hunger, fasting, and fasting. It is one of My attributes and it has no effect on eternal life, which is why the hunger of destruction has not come.
