Fasting in Islam
Must All Muslims fast Ramadan?
Fasting Ramadan is compulsory to all Muslims, male or female, who has these qualifications:
1. To be mentally and physically fit, this means to be sane and able.
2. To be in the age of puberty and discretion, this is normally about fourteen. Children under this age should be encouraged to start this good practice on easy levels, so when they reach the age of puberty they will be mentally and physically prepared to observe fasting.
3. To be present at one's permanent settlement, your home town, one's farm, and one's business premises, etc. This means not to be on a journey of about fifty miles or more.
4. To be fairly certain that fasting is unlikely to cause you any harm, physical or mental, other than the normal reactions to hunger, thirst, etc.
