"Fasting is prescribed to you as it was to those before you..." and some of "those before us" are now generally/often classified non-Muslim. Any remnant of fasting in any tradition would in my view come from that earlier prescription. And we know that nn-Muslims do fast, so your question is a non-question to begin with
Fasting according to the Muslim tradition is between the slave (your or me) and its Lord, and it's reward is measured out by Him according to your sincerety to the fast. So, one: it's completely between you and God, and you don't need to be called Abdullaah (i.e. Devdas ) to fast. And two, if you're gonna fast, do it for the Creator and not just for the missus, keep your goals high!
There are just two major rules in a Muslim fast: you don't
- eat or drink (or smoke),
- copulate (just no penetration, foreplay is okay)
from dawn till dusk.
I did not know this one.
But because you're not a Muslim, you could chose to, say drink, while your fast.
Roy , you can keep fast for the respect of a certain person but it would not be classified as 'Roza'. At the end of the month we also need to give every 40th dollar owned over period of 12 month out the total calculated value of hard cash , gold , silver , stock , land , property on which no debt is owed to a needy person preferabily a relative as Zakat (charity) which must be done discreetly and must never be publicised.
This is how Ramadan is completed , unless you are exempted from Zakat because of your finacial situation.
Are you ready
Did not know keeping roza was a pointless thing..
The man is asking for guidance and all you have to offer is BS.
Thanks for all the input guys. As I mentioned, I am planning to do it to makes things easier for the wifey. This will be her first ramadan since our wedding, so don't want her to feel "awkward".
Whether it will be a valid roza or not, well lets just leave that to guy sitting upstairs, but I ll do it sincerely.
Mods can close this thread now.
I was forced to do it when I was in Gulf....lolx..so no problem as far as I can see.

Thanks mate, that helps. So basically one must anonymously donate 1/40th of annual earnings?
Would it be wrong if I claim the donation in my taxes?
