The Shaykh would spend the 'white days' of every month in Makkah, making Umrah, fasting, teaching and entertaining his students and guests in his room. May Allah have mercy on him, he would be fasting in the mid-summer, in the Haram in the non-AC section, teaching students before and after the prayers, without complaining once. Despite of his old age and weakness, he would insist on praying standing.
