How can I support a friend or colleague who is fasting?

Traditionally, most Muslims continue to work and, if schools are open, attend classes during Ramadan, even if they cannot eat or drink for hours. If you work or live near someone who is fasting, here are some ways to actively show your support

• Be patient: If a friend or colleague is irritable due to lack of sleep, food and water, don't take it personally.

• If you manage someone at work who observes Ramadan, you may be able to help them by offering them flexible working hours that better accommodate their modified eating and sleeping schedules.

• Be mindful of prayer times: Your friend or co-worker may not be able to host a video meeting or meet you for a walk outside at certain times of the day if they are praying or s he doesn't have the energy to exercise.

• Do not ask a Muslim why he is not eating or if he is hungry! But you can wish him a blessed and happy Ramadan by saying Ramadan Mubarak to him.

Should all Muslims fast?
Not all Muslims are required to fast. There are special exemptions for young children, the elderly and anyone who is sick, pregnant, breastfeeding or menstruating.
