Why Muslims should avoid Northern Sweden during Ramadan

[Jaanbaz]

Are those people really that stupid so as not to eat anything if the sun does not set???

It really makes me think of some extreme christian sects that do not allow their sick family members for medical treatments but simply pray for cure.

Man, each religion has its own stupid ones.

So Muslims are extremists for fasting? Take your religion bashing some where else. Many Islamic scholars have all ready explained what to do in such situations.

Certainly a harsh place for fasting...

In Kiruna (Sweden), the fast is for 23 hrs, so you only have one hour to eat or drink.

@Akheilos @Zarvan @RAMPAGE
what is the ruling on this matter/?
if a muslim was is the northern hemisphere where the sun doesn't set how would we go about with fasting or praying?
according to the hadiths and the quran and only shahih hadiths..

In the Hanafi Madhab [ for Pakistanis ] you have to follow the nearest city where proper timings are observable

In Kiruna (Sweden), the fast is for 23 hrs, so you only have one hour to eat or drink.

you have to follow stockholm in that regards or copenhagen

There is grand agreement on this by scholars of Islam , that in those counties the Fasting should be observed for 16 hours only..

in London it is 19 hours

Blasphemy! Stone him, stone him!

that is a gay post

Reminds me of the story of the little girl that watched her mother preparing a roast.
The mother cut off both ends of the roast, and put the roast in the casserole.
Mom, why are you cutting of the ends, asked the little girl.
Her mother replied: I don't know, this was how Grandmother did when she prepared roasts.
- Why don't you ask her?
The little girl phoned her Grandmother and asked why she cut off the ends of the roast?
- I don't know dear. This was how Great-Grandmother did it. Why don't you ask her?
Luckily, Great-Grandmother was still alive so the same question was asked.
Why, Great-Grandmother replied, if not, the roast would not have fit inside the casserole...



No Escape, since the moon might still be visible in daylight.

you follow the nearest observable timetable, which is Stockholm

Learn some English before offering such idiotic remarks. Do I call muslims extremists by fasting???

Read what I have written again carefully.

Pretty sure they just follow the timings of the nearest Islamic capital or something, so probably Turkey or they keep it traditional and do Saudi times?
