Ramadan Laws

[Icewolf]

I opened this thread for everybody to share the laws their country puts when Ramadan comes... I know Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia don't allow any minority to drink or eat outside during Ramadan... Can everyone share their countries Ramadan laws?

Minority to drink or Eat by law?

Who told you that? There is no such law exists in Pakistan

Even Muslims are eating in the streets during Ramadan in Pakistan. Not every Muslim is fasting during the month of Ramadan (but most are)

is that true? never heard of it before though

 

[Rusty]

The only law that I heard was that Minorities are not allowed to buy alcohol during Ramadan. Which doesn't make sense if it's true.

there is no law I think that bars people in pakistan from eating or drinking in public. however the moral force of not to eat or drink is so high that people who are not fasting or belonging to minorities simply avoid it..

Are you sure? This lady says otherwise:

Why should minorities suffer in Ramazan?

The holy month of Ramazan is here once again in all its glory and our hypocrisy.

Yes, you read me right.

Come Ramazan and all of us put our pious cloaks on just like all the female anchors adorn dupattas on their heads in Ramazan, sidelining all the Bollywood numbers they shook their rears to, in their morning shows with na-mehram (men who do not have an Islamic legal relationship with the woman) guests. Haw.

The hypocrisy isn’t just evident on the television shows during the holy month; it is also further propagated by laws like Ehtram-e-Ramazan that makes eating, smoking, and drinking in public places illegal for Muslims before sunset in the reverence of Islam.

No such law except no alcohol the whole month. The TV bits are what the population want to see in that month. Thats what happns with a majority. Would you like to see shariah TV in the UK all month long? thats what the minorities want there.

You can add UAE to that list.... no eateries or hotels allowed to open during fasting time.... No eating or drinking in public and if you are caught breaking the law you could end up getting deported back to your home country

Such Laws exist in Saudi and other GCC countries where non-muslims are instructed not to eat or drink in public during the fasting hours of ramadan Month. and yess non muslims do follow this instructions as a respect to ramadan

the ordinance is only for Muslims, problem is with its implementation.

Such Laws exist in Saudi and other GCC countries where non-muslims are instructed not to eat or drink in public during the fasting hours of ramadan Month. and yess non muslims do follow this instructions as a respect to ramadan

I mean seriously, this is absolutely nonsense, my fast doesnot get effected by someone eating on the road or drinking water, I do feel hunger and thirst... and thats it, I feel that all day, what I do is sabr.

I think non-muslims do not want to be hassled, thats why they follow same instruction.

Everybody knows about our media, showing special Ramadan transmissions which have girls having affairs with other men and then getting pregnant.

As for the second para, I have absolutely no idea about this law. Because I came back from pakistan last week, after spending two fasts there, and there were juice stalls, and other eatables during the day, and some people were eating them, and no police came to beat them up or take them away.

People were eating during fast.

And, it is illegal for Muslims to eat before sunset in Ramadan, that is no pakistani law, but Islamic law. We all know how much hate Express tribune has stored up.

You can add UAE to that list.... no eateries or hotels allowed to open during fasting time.... No eating or drinking in public and if you are caught breaking the law you could end up getting deported back to your home country

Bullshyte.

yesterday while passing near the Airport , I saw alot of eateries open, similarly, people were roaming around. You go to Bur Dubai, or Dubai mall etc etc, people are eating there.

DAFZA - its a free zone area and there is no law which prohibits roaming around.... Bur dubai can you name the hotel where people are eating ( not take aways/ parcels) during fasting time.... i will be interested to check it

I was not in DAFZA, nor in DAFZA land. When you got to Lulu from Mullah Plaza, and keep on going straight rather than take a u-turn for lulu, and keep on going straight, and take a path for Mirdiff, then two Bakeries (very good bakeries) are on the right hand side, in that area, eateries were open and few people were eating and drinking. Can't remember the name of the bakery right now.

And the general Bur Dubai area, no specific shop or hotel or anything.

Point is, that there is no total clampdown on everybody to stop eating.

The topic of discussion was ramadan laws and not about one or two shops in city outskirts.... and as per the UAE laws it is illegal to eat in public and if you are caught you have to face the law.... i am posting below lines from Dubai government website

Guide for non-Muslims

It is illegal to eat, drink or smoke in public and a conservative dress code must be maintained to respect the spirit of the holy month.
