Muslims, does anyone die of malnutrition during Ramadan???

Question

Does anyone ever die during Ramadan? How do you make it healthy? Only one big meal at night? Aren't your kids tired at school the next day, since you eat after sundown?

Answer 1

Human beings can go without food for a long time no has ever died from not eating for one whole day or atleast no adult

The truth is we eat TO much in the west, its proven that 3 big meals a day is actually very unhealthy especially if your not getting enough excercise, 1 or 2 small meals is enough for most, your stomach will contract and adjust your metabolism pending on how much you eat. And yea muslims eat once in the morning and then after sunset

Answer 2

no never heard of that before.

anyone with health issues is excused from fasting, children are not obliged to fast and as stated Muslims fast during the day hours and break their fast at sunset.

Answer 3

I lol'd.

Answer 4

hehe LOL

As a Muslim, i know that young children do not fast or wake up just before sun dawn at night, they stay sound asleep. As for the person, no they do not die from malnutrition as you can see the millions of Muslims are surviving.

But if you have a certain disease or illness, i would agree with you in that point, but in Islam the person who is ill cannot continue to fast, it has rules. Ramadan is just to test your patience and will to Allah, not to force you to fast and starve at day.  

Answer 5

They have to fast during the day, but they can eat after dark and before dawn.

Answer 6

Lol.  No.  If your health is in jeopardy then you wouldn't fast...God has allowed this.  God does not want to make the worship extremely difficult to us, he justs wants to to test us that we follow his will.  He allows flexibility in his rules such as for a sick person or a traveling person.

Answer 7

Children don't' need to fast, nor to pregnant people or menstruating women or the sick.

That aside, how can you die or even get malnutrition for eating only once a day for a month... as long as you eat a balanced meal you should be perfectly fine.  

Answer 8

actually fasting depends on the person's ability. when I learned it has bad effects on me and my health I stopped.

Answer 9

They only fast during daylight hours, so why would they not be able to eat nutritionally otherwise?
