Are muslims who work night shifts really affected by fasting during ramadan?

Question

surely it impacts more on those who work during the day?

Answer 1

sleep in the day time and wake up for work and a couple of hours later is feast time......great yes we are affected.... with bliss and then in the cool of the night we can perform salaat...double bliss and get paid for it.....hahahahaha

Answer 2

I don't know.....I knew one guy that fasted, slept until zuhr (which was about 5 hours) then was up for the rest of the day.  

I find it easier to fast when i'm doing something.....

Answer 3

Good point.  

Answer 4

Nope because my uncle works night shifts in a bakery and it doesn't affect him

Answer 5

Yes, people aren't meant to stay up all night and sleep in the daytime. The rest of the world is awake and so if you have personal affairs or errands to make everything is open in daylight. Plus you have to sleep make prayers, cook dinner. It's not normal, so it is harder.

Answer 9

Well the people who do night shifts get a sleep in during the day.

But I think it is easier for people who work during the day because your days faster. I found it.

I remember fasting at the weekend and days off. Even if you get a sleep in, when you wake up, there is still plenty of time to go.

Answer 10

well not as much as those who work during the day.those who work nights,well it makes no difference to them.they can eat drink and do all things that a fasting person cant.

Answer 12
