I know that you are fasting now (or are you done at this date?), but im quite curious on the questions raised above anyways  |
The muslim calandar month of Ramadan and the religious traditions involved, lasted from September 2 - September 30 this year, so it has passed. You do raise some interesting questions about forcing somebody liquid. I think it depends on how strictly the muslim follows the faith. A similar situation is that Jehovah's Witnesses (and other groups of the christian/judaism faith) refuse any kind of blood transfusions even in case of life-threatening emergencies. Still, some members of the faith are more flexible and would subject to it if it is vital to save a life.
