Ramadan 2015 Q&A

Nihal

Available for over a year

Are you diabetic? Will you be fasting? It is not a simple yes or no answer unfortunately. For people who suffer from any health conditions, Ramadan can be extremely tough. Do you think there is enough awareness about fasting during Ramadan if you are diabetic or suffer from any other illness? Is there pressure on you to fast in spite of your condition? Who do you turn to if you're stuck in that dilemma - you are religious, you do want to fast, but you have a health condition, what do you do in a situation like that? Imam Yunis Dudhwala is on hand to answer some of your Ramadan questions.
