Do Muslims fast on the weekends during Ramadan?
Asked by Wiki User
I'm not quite sure what you mean, when one fasts, they fast for ONE day.
Usually, one would wake up before sunrise, have breakfast, and then not eat or drink anything for the entire day until sunset of the SAME DAY.
For example, I'll wake up before sunrise, around 5 AM, have a big breakfast on a Saturday morning. Then not eat/drink for the whole Saturday. Then, at say sunset is at 7 PM, at that time I'll break my fast by having a meal.
There is no connection between days. If I start fasting on Saturday, I end my fast on Saturday. I would fast again on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday etc. in the same manner.
I hope I answered your question.

Asked by Wiki User
A:
Several religious groups encourage periods of fasting, so there may be slightly different views on this depending on the faith. The most well known period of fasting is that observed by Muslims during the period of Ramadan. Islam allows exemptions from fasting, for example during illness or pregnancy.
Ultimately, whether or not a person observes the fast is a personal decision. If you are right, and he or she is obliged by Allah to observe the fast, then your friend will learn of this in the next life. We are all merely observers in this life, so there is no reason to say anything.

Because this is an explicit command in the holy Quran, the Almighty Allah says:
( Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful )
Holy Quran,(2:185).
