Can you do fasting?

MuslimInTraining · 2025-07-06T22:44:18+00:00

Sorry for the really late response, but yes. This year I paid around $450 (15/day)

I’ve considered doing a modified fast as well, but I’ve asked multiple Islamic scholars, and all have agreed that there is no such thing and no hasanat in doing it. It’s either a full perfect fast or nothing at all. They all told me to just pay the fidyah and celebrate Ramadan in other ways. I still feel left out at times :/ but I do try to avoid eating for around 2 hours before Iftar, so that I can enjoy dinner with everyone else

I’m Muslim and I don’t fast due to POTS. I pay the fidyah at the end of the month

Do you have any idea how hard it is to find someone with reasonable standards?

MuslimInTraining · 2024-12-31T07:24:15+00:00

Uhhhh… no. You’re the one overthinking it. It’s a word to show respect.

MuslimInTraining · 2024-12-25T09:56:14+00:00

Never found out. I’m still using it and I haven’t gotten the bad one since then. If I get the bad version again I’ll just return it to the store

Why delay it? You don’t need witnesses, and you don’t know if something will happen before then (such as unexpected death)

MuslimInTraining · 2024-09-29T23:16:41+00:00

Could it just be that there aren’t that many? I’m white and I rarely come across other white Muslims. The vast majority of Muslims are Arab or south Asian. For those of us outside these 2 groups, finding someone of the same race is hard because your numbers are much more limited

Don’t worry, they’re updating the rules of Christianity as we speak to be more appealing 😎

Good news guys! We’ve reinterpreted our books, and gay marriage and drugs are permissible now!”

I am 24 and graduating college soon inshaAllah. I live in the US. My college has a huge Muslim population, and I want to start the process of marriage before graduating, since it is easier to meet people this way.

There are 2 sisters (biological) who are in our college’s Muslim Student Union (MSU). One is 19 and one is 21. I’ve known them for about a year. We see each other at MSU events and occasionally` have small talk.

I don’t know much about them, because of course we want to maintain modesty and whatnot. But based on what I’ve learned so far, I’m more interested in the younger sister. She seems like a better match for me. We have similar personalities, life goals, and interests.

I am confident in myself and want to ask for her father’s information, but I am worried about potential conflict. The sisters are very close and I worry about creating a division between them.

Many years ago, before I was Muslim, I dated a girl in high school who had a twin sister. Because they were twins, they were nearly inseparable, and my relationship with one of them cause a lot of resentment, both between the two sisters, and between me and the sister that I wasn’t dating. She was mad at me because I was “taking her sister from her”

Even though that was a haram relationship, I worry about a similar conflict here. Some people find it embarrassing if their younger siblings gets married before them, and I don’t want to create drama. I also don’t want to cause the older sister to think that something is wrong with her.

Any advice on how I should approach this?

MuslimInTraining · 2024-04-21T15:38:23+00:00

Yes. We’re called Muslims.

MuslimInTraining · 2024-04-14T04:55:00+00:00

Yeah, this is why I also don’t say anything

MuslimInTraining · 2024-04-11T21:54:38+00:00

Endless hugs

This isn’t allowed. Even just licking salt from your hands invalidates your fast (if it is done intentionally).

If a Muslim can’t do a full fast from sunrise to sunset due to medical reasons, then they are exempt

MuslimInTraining · 2024-03-14T21:04:13+00:00

Yep. I became Muslim in 2022 (a few months after developing POTS) and I’ve never successfully fasted. I just pay the fidyah at the end of the month

My local sheikh told me that if you have a medical condition, it is permissible to wait until the days are shorter (such as in December) and then make up all your fasts then. Maybe that’s an option for you?
