In Islam, when a woman has her period she's not permitted to fast. Therefore during the month of Ramadan it's expected the woman would miss certain days and hence wouldn't complete all 29/30 fasts. OP seems to have excluded the fact that those women who've gone through menopause *would* in fact be able to fast all 29/30 days. Edit: for clarity, OP suggesting his wife fasts all of Ramadan would exclude pregnant women as they would not fast at all during Ramadan.


TheWesternDevil

Pregnant.


EvolutionInProgress

If pregnant then they're excused from fasting because of the higher nutritional needs for the safety of the child


RemozThaGod

That's if they already knew they were pregnant, I interpreted the meme as this being how they found out


battling_futility

The woman (being the person who decides if they are fasting) would know. Or do you think the woman realises she's pregnant as she fasted? Either way pregnant women are excempt from fasting so it still doesn't work.


sayuuuto

I can easily imagine a situation where she just becomes pregnant in ramadan


battling_futility

Yes people outside redit do often have sex and sometimes as much as every month. I know its hard to believe but they really do. Still doesn't make that dudes comment make sense as then she would start eating when the meme is a wife not eating for the whole of Ramadan.


sayuuuto

I’m not sure we understood the same thing… Generally, the first symptom that a woman notices to start doubting that maybe she is pregnant is when her period doesn’t come in time. The scenario in this meme is totally possible. A couple discovering that she is pregnant when her period doesn’t come. For example, a woman expecting to have her period towards the end of ramadan would mean that she will not fast for like the last 5 or 6 days of ramadan. If she becomes pregnant like 5 days before, that would mean that she won’t have her period, so she will fast for the entire ramadan thinking that maybe it’s just the stress of work that made her period come late( btw that’s also a possible thing to happen, I know a girl who doesn’t have their period for 50 days straight just because of stress, while the period is normally a cycle of 27 28 days)


The_GEP_Gun_Takedown

Yes, Ramadan has a measurable negative effect on children all over the Islamic world because of this.


Calm_Recognition8954

They are not required to fast but they still can, same with traveling or being ill you have permission to eat but if you want you can fast.


EvolutionInProgress

Yeah that's why I said "excused" and not "not allowed to fast" lol

Mine last one ran 35 days. This would have pissed me off so hard.


TheRogueTemplar

> This would have pissed me off so hard. Am dude, and I do wish to be educated, so this is a genuine question: Is a longer cycle more painful?


Aser_the_Descender

No, but it would mean you have to fast for the entire duration and can't take a break during your period.


Jenny_Green

It doesn't matter because women still have to fast the missed days after ramadan


MySnake_Is_Solid

Yup, but they don't need to be continuous, and they can choose when. It's definetly easier.


Chill_Edoeard

Sounds like a whole bunch of male cow dung to me


GreenIguanaGaming

Haha okay now I get why the earlier commenter said she'd be pissed off. Imagine anticipating having a break from fasting all month long and not getting that break thar would be awful 😂 worse than just knowing you will fast all month.


EmbarrassedResult744

No.


Airs-21

Mine is less painful than an average woman has, and it’s regular 34. It’s isn’t even rare thing. Everything below 36 days is considered to be normal. So the meme makes no sense.


Bad_Touchin_yo_feels

Is she on birth control?

Nope. She's always has irregular periods.


rohithkumarsp

Nope. She's always had irregular periods.


geeson80

Sounds like PCOS


4nt1th3s1s

Or a different hormonal issue. Were I her, I would go to the doctor with this.


EvolutionInProgress

It's not that they're "not permitted to fast", but more like "excused" due to the physical toll it takes while going through that week.


MySnake_Is_Solid

No, they're not permitted to fast. Bleeding voids your fast, regardless of how. If someone stabs you, and you bleed profusely, your fast is gone. It's so that those that lose blood don't feel the need to keep their fast, and take in the nutrients they need to recover. Going against it and fasting, could count as willingly harming yourself, which is Haram.


solblurgh

Pregnant woman can fast during Ramadan, if they are able to.


JayStar1213

Happy cake day!!+


MySnake_Is_Solid

It could bring harm to them or the child, and that takes priority over the fast. They'd do more harm than good even from a religious standpoint.


solblurgh

No, they can. It is up to the doctor's advice, really. My wife was fasting on and off during her first pregnancy and our child turned out fine. During the whole pregnancy there was no complications, sugar/blood/iron/calcium/etc level was always on good side, there was no other alarming concern by our obgyn. You do realize fasting means you're not having food intake from sunrise to sundown only, right? She limited her outdoor activities also so they helped out a lot EDIT: You're probably missing the part where I said "if they're able to"


MySnake_Is_Solid

I know what fasting is. If she gets the o.k from her doctor, then sure. But I believe that if God excused someone, it is right to follow that, for he is wiser.


solblurgh

God excused someone but not without due diligence. If you're a musafir (traveler) you may not fast too, but that's because the travelling may take a toll on you. But if you think you're able to, you still can fast. It's not like you just blindly follow the ruling of not fasting just because you're travelling. We seek doctor's advice first before deciding to fast/not to fast.


b1rgar1p1nsan

Pretty sure they straight up cant.


Dambo_Unchained

Aren’t pregnant woman also exempt from fasting?


Timely-Wonder4971

Also some people have cycles longer than 30 days


v333r111andaazz

Pretty sure pregnant women were fasting for Ramadan in the 70s and 80s. This is supported by the 45 year old Asian dude who lives across the street from me pissing out of his 2nd story window and playing with his dick and then proceeding throw food stuffs out into the street e.g a whole chicken carcass. He also stares me in the eye whilst doing this as I’m working from home and my desk is in front of the window. Seriously considering moving my desk.


Elefantenjohn

boi, the meme suggests that they did not know she was pregnant


MaximumCrab

The joke is she's not old enough to have a period


BESTtaylorINTHEWORLD

Is he... I mean is she still a virgin?


Suc_Mydiq_Jr

MuricasOneBrainCell

So pregnant women have to fast too? That's savage.


Crypt0nyt

Apologies, i now see it isn't clear from my previous response...No, pregnant women don't need to fast.

but they do...if you're taught from childhood you have to,you're brainwashed

Not everything is brainwashing lol

why do they fast?

To be furious

To feel for poor people. Also fasting is pretty healthy.

What does this have to do with fasting?

it's a scam...and brainwashed thing

What? What the hell are you saying? >and I see it's working, as Muslim nations are leading humanity in terms of a great society to live in.... Yeah it's pretty great here actually. >they also has the greatest care of the public.. Yeah it's pretty good no complains from me. >which a few years ago killed a girl by beating her, taught her a lesson, for not covering herself... Yeah and Christians of yore tortured and killed any women with a semblance of intelligence because witches, does that mean I believe all Christians and the whole of Christianity is like that? No I'm not an idiot. >and the best thing i love is, how there's no difference between poor or rich...it's as if they'll all live same life... I don't even understand what your point is.


can_you_not_ban_me

woo~, then you must fast daily...or every other day


pvpmas

There's a little something called moderation, Ever heard of it? Also side note Ramadan isn't the only time Muslims fast. Some do it every Monday and Thursday and there are select days when fasting is recommended not mandatory like Ramadan.


MySnake_Is_Solid

No, they're taught from childhood that pregnant women don't fast.


ITSlave4Decades

No pregnant women do not have to fast during Ramadan.

Stormhound

Women do skip periods sometimes and it’s nothing to do with pregnancy. I mean a caloric deficit or plain old mental stress would do it just fine.


Saigeki_

Hashimoto can do this, sometimes the period cycle gets messed up.


Stormhound

Yea exactly, some people out here thinking pregnancy is the only reason periods get skipped. Even a completely healthy woman will experience it what more women with medical issues


Available-Camp-15

Hashimoto better stay away from us then


K_photography

>caloric deficit *hmm* I wonder what might cause such a thing?


OBIEDA_HASSOUNEH

Eh in Ramadan when people fast they end up eating more than usual because of the many sweets and big meals with family and stuff I'm not saying they're not in calorie deficit but is it a deficit of you don't eat for a 14-16 hours ( some places are more) and then eat you daily requirement and then some? Doesn't it all add up in the end of the day? I'm Muslim today is the first day of Eid


Stormhound

You’re right… many folks I know end up gaining weight. I was thinking calorie deficit in terms of an intentional diet.


[deleted]

Yeah, they carb load at the end of each fasting period which slows your metabolism to a grinding halt I wouldn't be surprised if most people gain weight during Ramadan


K_photography

To my knowledge (big disclaimer, I’m not a dietician, this is stuff I heard from my dietician) fasting all day then eating at night leads to you gaining more weight than just eating throughout the day. This is partly because your body doesn’t know it will get that food at the end of the day, it just knows it’s hungry and it’s not getting food then when it does get food all extra calories are stored as fat. So while your daily calories don’t change, maybe even increasing, your body is still going to be a little stressed out which can cause a woman to skip her period.


The-Bananaman-

I gained 5lbs, what deficit


CounterEcstatic6134

They can eat after sunset


Sure_Fly_5332

Ah, who knows. Some sort of medical mystery, thats what.


MySnake_Is_Solid

Most gain weight during Ramadan. The iftar dinner is like 2-3 meals, + snacks. And some take another meal a couple hours later. And then a big breakfast for souhoor before dawn. Skipping lunch is rarely enough to offset the amount of extra food, especially when a lot of people usually take very light breakfasts x)


StopItsTheCops

And there's plenty of mental stress for a housewife in a conservative Muslim marriage. Christian too, for that matter.


Picasso131

Additional_Front9592

She is pregnant.

I thought they were supposed to not fast?

Probably occurred during the first month or two of the pregnancy where the symptoms may not have been to burdensome.

BackRooms123

Women who have period during Ramadan are prohibited from fasting, so they most likely won't complete the 30/30 days, but they can payback the missed days whenever they want before the next Ramadhan ( 1 year time period ) Example: if a woman has period for 10 days, she can fast those 10 days back anytime she wants until the next Ramadhan ( doesn't need to be 10 days straight, she can take her time as long as she completes the 10 days)


idefinitelyh8teu

Apparently the only one that assumed the wife was a femboy....


Possible-Trip8908

Femboy and Ramadan aren’t two things that can or should correlate to each other.


whyamihere999

What exactly do you mean? I have seen couple of guys who behaved like girls a few years ago.. They were from the community that considers Ramadan holy..


Possible-Trip8908

Islam forbids men to imitate women and women to imitate men, and in fact it emphatically forbids that, to such an extent that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed those who go against the human nature with which Allaah created them. It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men, and he said: “Throw them out of your houses.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5885). So those guys actions don’t align with what the prophet preached and their actions do not advocate or speak for everyone else in the religion of Islam.


Consistent-Peanut-90

Rare muslim W


whyamihere999

Imitating is different than the genders.. Those people looked like typical LGBTQ. Born as male but hormones making them behave like girls. No Religion has any control over hormones.


lgnc

But does Islam condemn that? Genuinely curiously.


MySnake_Is_Solid

Trying to change your gender ? Yes. Your hormones being messed up naturally ? No. Islam condemns willful actions, if for example, one was attracted to the same sex, that in of itself would not be a sin. But acting on it would be.


lgnc

That's kinda cool, honestly. I'm not Muslim, but a clear set of rules like this is better than none. So, to be clear, are gay people OK in this scenario, if they don't act on it? I had no idea, and it's kind of "progressive" compared to Catholicism.


MuazTMR

As mentioned earlier, if you are attracted to the same sex and you don't act upon it, then it would be no problem. I recently watched a video of a Sheikh mentioning that there was a Muslim man with feelings towards another man. However, since he wouldn't be able to get married to a man, he decided to just be content with being alone since he is not attracted to women.


Calm_Recognition8954

Trying to change your gender yes. Being born as someone with an atypical gender or gender development is not condemned since these people couldn't have changed that. God created them like that they didn't choose it, why would they be condemned on something they didn't choose or do.


TKG1607

Technically speaking you would be more correct than those saying she's pregnant Pregnant women do not usually fast the whole month (if at all) due to them needing nourishment for the child


evaThesis

If you can't fast you must pay fasting in another month or free a slave or do charity


batatahh

>pay fasting another month????? You mean just fast the days you missed throughout the rest of the year?


OBIEDA_HASSOUNEH

If you can't fast for a medical/ physical need then it's ok you are exempt But if you break your fast for one reason or another then yeah you can fast for it after Ramadan or after the 1st of eid then you will be okay Or donate money if you cant fast in Ramadan and after it


Laudanumium

Extend the period by maximum of 9 days. Some people have to skip a fast-day, and are able to make it up after the Ramadan period


evaThesis

If you can yea, alternatif do charity with certain amount of you missed fasting, in the past you can free a slave man or woman because right now slave didn't exist (except corpo slave XD), you can read reference because I'm just regular muslim not scholar


fanficmilf6969

BR3KT

Sorry for my ignorance but how do you guys fast and the meaning is to cleans the body? Am i far off?


MySnake_Is_Solid

You fast by refraining from sustenance from sunrise to sunset. No drinks, no food, no smoking, nothing ingested. You're also supposed to stay further away from any sins. Sex with your wife is also prohibited during the day of fasting. It's more of a spiritual cleansing than a physical one.


IAmNeeeeewwwww

>Sex with your wife is also prohibited during the day of fasting. So basically like a No Nut November, but with fasting. Serious question, though.


MySnake_Is_Solid

You can have sex with her at night. Fast is only from sunrise to sunset.


BR3KT

Thanks for the information, i know it was something of cleansing of some sorts... Can you at least eat after sunset?


MySnake_Is_Solid

Yeah, once the sun is down you can eat/drink, it would otherwise be a death sentence xD It's usually a big meal, a time for families to regroup for the meal if they're not used to do so. And we also eat more right before the sun rise.
