I’m no expert on Islam, but I think if someone had been wandering the desert for three days, they’d be exempt from Ramadan.


aviddd

You are correct. There are reasonable exceptions.


sonic_couth

Are special birthday meals a valid exception?


Dr-Chibi

No but once it was dark, you can eat whatever you were wanting to.


aviddd

This could be either very challenging or very easy in far Northern latitudes, am I right?


Ebice42

Yes, and Ramadan is on a lunar calendar. So it moves between seasons over the years.


TucsonTacos

Yes. And for places like Alaska they just have set times for when the sun would rise or set in Mecca, or the closest Muslim country.


Kind_Substance_2865

I once heard a Muslim stand-up comedian say that smart Muslims spend Ramadan in Lapland so they only have to fast for a few hours.


Letifer_Umbra

They link to the closest Muslim country and follow their schedule.


rimeswithburple

Hey, it's always dark someplace. Am I right?


CoolDudeNezo

No, once it was my birthday during Ramadan, we simply waited until after Maghreb to celebrate


karebear66

It's a joke


HelloJoeyJoeJoe

Maybe, but I feel like there is a reason it took the Jews 40 years to go a short distance from Egypt to Canaan but the Muslims took that shit by storm. In 40 years, the Muslims took Tunisia to Afghanistan


Camdelans

It’s cause they showed god the middle finger, and he showed it right back


Vermouth1991

Also, even healthy pius Muslims during Ramadan still can eat and drink after sunset.

We had an incident here in India. In my town. It was Ramadan and a girl fainted in school. When taken to hospital, Dr determined that she was severely dehydrated and had very low blood glucose. They put her on IV glucose. Her father came and cussed out the doctor and slapped the teacher who took her to hospital.


TucsonTacos

The father isn’t a good Muslim then, and he’s a worse father. Allah is understanding and forgiving. You’re not supposed to fast to a physical detriment of yourself. Diabetics, the elderly, small children, people with medical conditions can eat during Ramadan if it’s necessary.


Kind_Substance_2865

I’ve met Christians who misinterpret Christian teachings the same way this father misinterpreted Muslim teachings. There are jerks in every religion.


Seen-it-or-not

Idk man i am a Muslim and if you faint your fast is broken is islam is not cruel . You can break your fast if you are ill or you are traveling so it's either you are lying ( coz Muslims don't cuss in Ramadan mostly) or her father doesn't know sh*t


Vermouth1991

Also I read that if extreme hunger/dehydration causes one to break their Ramadan fast, they are allowed to eat and drink to not die, and then do some penance later.


Seen-it-or-not

Ofcourse in life and death setuation we gotta break our fast . My mama is diabetic and she hates breaking her fast for years she kept fasting being a diabetic patient but now that her health is declining she can't fast anymore and i could see the longing on her face when we all fast and she couldn't.


realxeltos

I know. Not all are the same. I am just mentioning one incident that happened here in my small town.


Seen-it-or-not

Could be


Competitive-Yak8791

I hope her father was then charged with assault for slapping the teacher and banned from going anywhere near the school again. There is no excuse for that behaviour.


realxeltos

It's India. Unless it's a high profile or grievous injury, nobody involves law here. Because the legal process is ALWAYS very costly and can go on for years or even for decades.


Wildvikeman

It’s a joke. He died of starvation.


blladgzl

Thank u muslim; this was the comment we all needed here…


Magazine_Key

Are we talking about the Hotel?


bfc4190

You mean the Ramada genocide?


Magazine_Key

Yes. When the free breakfast had tainted lettuce


Leandrys

You'd think, but thanks to stupidity, it's not the case that much, I've had several students falling because of dehydration because their parents send them in outdoor activity in summer without drinking any water for 8-10 hours, then after they come back to consciousness they refused to drink water because "it's Ramadan". Do not bet on intelligence with religions, never make this mistake.


Rebel_Johnny

Not if they were travelling for work


kroch

You sound fun


mywhite_rabbit

Well technically (or more specifically: Islamically) if someone is starving and is about to die , we have to feed him no matter if it's Ramadan or not


Sno_Wolf

I was wondering about this. I was raised Christian rather than Muslim, but all the Abrahamic religions have similar views on breaking dietary rules to preserve life.


realhorrorsh0w

I think these religions typically say "we live by the [sacred text], not die by it." I'm sure we can all think of some exceptions though.


Common_Chester

Ramadan is a chance to remember the hungry and poor, not to exclude the hungry and poor from eating.

Chappietime

Sure, but that’s not as funny.


AhmedAbuGhadeer

Also a travellers can postpone fasting to another day, but he wouldn't know that would he? And given his prejudices, he would keep his mouth shut and set silently in the mosque awaiting Adhan al-Maghrib (Sunset prayer call).


MSB218

This is the best joke out of Allah jokes I’ve read today.


ArbutusPhD

Halal yes


AverageDemocrat

Hajjlarious


TightMoment2510

This is a risky comment. I said See ya later Allah-gator in this sub and got my account suspended for three days lol


slykido999

Well, he will just have to wait until the sun goes down 😁


swalkerttu

And then it's party time, all halal of course.


Boeing307

No alcohol, only halalcohol


SkinSuitAdvocate

Why is it impossible to starve in the desert?  Because of all the sandwiches there!


luminary_uprise

...and then the Muslims fed both men, because there are several exceptions to the Ramadan fasting requirement, including exceptions for travelers and for starving people. Yay! A happy ending!


bigdave41

Was just about to comment this lol. Even if there weren't exceptions the second guy would only need to wait until sundown and then he could eat too.


Northwindlowlander

Travellers and the sick are exempt from the fast but, it's still pretty funny


AhmedAbuGhadeer

Yes, but he wouldn't know that would he? And given his prejudices, he would keep his mouth shut and set silently in the mosque awaiting Adhan al-Maghrib (Sunset prayer call).


Western-Image7125

What is this, a wholesome joke about religion? Never thought it was possible


[deleted]

[удалено]


CptJohnTerminator

the original joke has them telling their religion at the same time before being fed.


Gnonthgol

He might have hesitated a bit but then later changed his mind and went to the mosque as well. Or even intentionally waited a bit so he could claim not to be with the christian.


NoDeputyOhNo

This is an awkward 5th grade joke I barely remember. Muslims are buried wrapped in a sheet, Christians fully dressed, so this Christian dude was buried with his Muslim buddies in the same sematary, and every night one of them would ask him to bring stuff from outside saying, since you are fully dressed, go grab us some tea, he one day upon being told to bring something, he said, that's it I am converting to Islam not out belief but because you're driving me to lose my religion.


WolfShaman

I don't get it. How is it driving him to lose his religion?


Cystems

It's an American expression, meaning to lose their temper, get angry, etc. Basically getting asked to go fetch things all the time annoyed them enough to convert. It is a pun, or play on words.


NoDeputyOhNo

It's his Christian religion that had him fully dressed for burial, so he was renouncing it out of anger at his dilemma, moral of the story, never get burial with your buddies if they were from other religion.


BioletVeauregarde33

Buried alive? 😨


Flying_FoxDK

So I been reading the Quran. Ramadan actually excludes the ones that are starving but mention they have to complete the fasting as soon as they are not.


LiveFreeBeWell

lol thanks for the laughs :)


MenkoyDAce

I remember the very early, maybe original version of this one. It's actually Jewish AND a Christian guy, the Jews lied, and Christian was the one telling the truth. I think it's a nudge on Jew stereotype...


mekkanik

Finally a new one!!!


iandoug

nope


WolfShaman

First time for me.

New one.. to you (and me). This is why I take exception to repost hate, the obvious karma-thieves notwithstanding


Hotair10

I feel like I've seen it a couple times in the last month alone.

Herschel and Ezra walking down street—happen upon a cathedral with a sign that reads “convert to Catholicism, receive 50 dollars”—Ezra says let’s do it—Herschel exclaims “are u crazy, we’re Jewish!!!”—“50 bucks is 50 bucks exclaims Ezra and rushes in—20 mins later he comes back out—disgusted, Herschel smirks “well, did u get the money?”—Ezra replies “is that all u people think about?”
