If its a private matter in his home not offerred to others he can but if a community then offcourse he has to respect 97% of community
Actually no!
During Ramadan, the fasting is for you and your Lord...Not for community purposes! So enforcing your lack of ability to fast when food is around is by every means disobedient! You eat when poor people watch you eating and begging on the side!
Roza is for you, why enforce a law on a non-Muslim regarding it? IF you are offended by someone eating food near you, the problem is you...coz ALLAH said abstain from food, HE didnt say ban food! Nor did HE say hurt other people's business coz of your lack of ability to do jihad-un-nafs!
Allah clear said abstain from food...meaning YOU need to avoid food...not the other, not the restaurant owner, not the non Muslim customer BUT YOU!
When people fast in non Muslim countries, they ABSTAIN from the food being served...that is fasting and jihad-un-nafs.....they dont go bashing other people's business nor demand respect coz they cant abstain or feel mouth watered! If a Muslim can abstain in West, why cant he abstain in Muslim countries? Why are we so weak and strut this weakness around proudly?
Even in UAE, the restaurants are open during Ramadan, but "covered with opaque curtains" (minimum abstaining ability I guess!)
Think for a min: If there is no compulsion in religion: why force the Non Muslim due to your weakness?
He has a business license and has every right to run his business...if you cant abstain you are weak and you should work on that not oppress the other!
I am confident i am defending his orders. R u ?
So you think ALLAH needs your help to defend HIS orders? Really? How is that not shirk?
What ALLAH needs from you is for you to do Ibadah, be a good human, a good Muslim, a good neighbour, a good husband, a good son and so on...not a weak person! ALLAH is the defender of the Quran and Islam not you!
As for his Orders, some of these orders were given to the Prophet - we dont have a prophet so you thinking you are forcing HIS orders is wrong! Coz only Prophet can "enforce" such things!
We need to concentrate on ourselves! Please avoid trying to be holier than thou! It gives a bad impression on Islam and Muslims alike!
