FloridaExport Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Call me stupid but why would these people be stocking up on food for a fasting? They have huge feasts all night long during Ramadan, so they actually end up eating quite a bit. Personal attacks in the form of name calling aren't allowed by forum rules .

Bluespunk Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Call me stupid but why would these people be stocking up on food for a fasting? Because the fast is during certain hours and once those hours pass then eating commences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal attacks in the form of name calling aren't allowed by forum rules . yup it's fasting from sun up till sundown i think but they eat at night so basically just need to time one's eating according to the time of the day no different from intermittent fasting whereby one has an 8 hour period to eat and a 16 hr period to fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
