Ramadan Mubarak Fasting Times in Kuwait

  • Thread starter madah12
  • Start date
In summary, the Council of Senior Scholars in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has issued a fatwa that deals with fasting times close to the poles, and classical fiqh tradition developed to maturity in the 9th century C.E. may well have inspired the formalization of theological debate known as scholasticism, in the 12th century and onwards.

My girlfriend just wakes up at some terrifically early hour to eat before sunrise. I am not Muslim, but I am doing a food fast with her (as well as the usual abstaining from drugs/alcohol/smoking/sex). However I can't find it in me to do a water fast as well. I feel this is a good compromise. Congrats to those who can get up that early :D

There has been a question in the back of my head for several years, and this seems like a reasonable place to introduce it. Please excuse my ignorance of the matter; I really am curious about it.
How does a religious observant (Muslim or otherwise), afflicted with something like diabetes requiring regular caloric intake, deal with fasting? Are there exemptions for medical conditions, or do you just have to take your chances of surviving it?

Young children, pregnant women and such like are specifically exempted from fasting.

They are not, as far as I know, prohibited from fasting, but they do not have an obligation to fast.

Thanks for the info about fasting. I figured that there must be something like that for humanitarian reasons, but wasn't sure.

I know I violate PF rules here, but "The Council of Senior Scholars in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" has issued a fatwa (no. 5842), that deals with fasting times close to the poles:
http://islamqa.com/en/ref/5842

Essentially, fasting times around the poles are to be calculated from the closest country in which there <i>is</i> a clear distinction between night and day...

As violations go, that one seems quite innocuous and very educational. Thanks for the link. It's a bit "wordy", but extremely informative.

It is written as "classical fiqh" (islamic jurisprudence/theology), in which the contents of various hadeeth and earlier fatwas are scrutinized, in order to find an applicable to a new situation.

Faith-based or not, that is a very wise (dare I say "scientific"?) approach to the matter. I gain more respect for Islam with each exposure to new facts. (I never disrespected it, but knew next to nothing about it.)

Fiqh tradition, developed to maturity in the 9th century C.E, may well have inspired the formalization of theological debate known as scholasticism, in the 12th century and onwards.

However, there exists an at least as probable source for scholastic reasoning, namely the 12th century re-discovery of Corpus Justinianum, i.e, the legal codices and juristic reflections collected in the 530's C.E. by teams commissioned by Emperor Justinian

That will remain your point of view, not mine, upon which my silence is best in tune with PF policy..:smile:

Correct, they are exempted from the fast, also sick people who might endanger their health condition, injured, travelers, menstruating women, elderly people and soldiers...

See, I keep trying to get addicted to coffee by drinking a couple of cups a day. But I stop drinking for a day, and my desire to coffee decays to nearly 0.
