The purpose of Biblical fasting is seeking God. Fasting in Islam is actually about feasting, killing and cursing – as Islamic tradition and statistics show.
1 thought on “Ramadan: month of feasting, killing and cursing”
How would a Muslim observe Ramadan if they were orbiting the Earth in a space station or living on Mars? There would be enormous problems in long term space travel too. I wonder how Muslims would handle fasting if they were diabetic and on insulin. I am not sure an Air Traffic Controller or a pilot should be fasting while on a long international flight.
Abu Hurairah narrated that:
The Prophet said: “A woman may not fast a day – other than in the month of Ramadan – while her husband is present, except with his permission.”
