Ramadan in the work place .

Offtopic, but each time I scroll past the thread title in GD, I misread it as 'Batman in the workplace'. Imagine my disappointment...
 
Thread has confirmed the obviousness of what I'm about to say, that there are some real retarded people on this forum :p

Again Islam has provisions for this. My aunt ws diabetic and required insulin and tablets at certain points in the day. Therefore she was allowed to skip fasting but had to pay a small sum of money ~£90 for the month so that someone poor can fast on her behalf.

You need money to not eat?
 
I don't think there's any legal aspect to allow him to take time off - unless he's requested leave, but even then leave can be denied at manager's discretion.

The Quran states that God does not burden any soul more than it can handle (i.e. we are tested during our life with loss of life, wealth & health). God has prescribed fasting as a way of cleansing the the physical body and the soul. So he knows our physical makeup best. So if says a human can fast from dawn till dusk and he has asked every Muslim to fast then we must carry out this task. I have fasted since I was 10 and I have been sensible in both the quantity and quality of foods I eat and I have never been diagnosed diabetic.

Absolutely fascinating, but completely irrelevant to the medical reality of the situation however.
 
What a load of nonsense - he should have to take it out of his annual leave. Why on earth should he get additional benefit just because he practices a certain religion... :mad: If you're going to let him come in late then everyone else should be able to come in late if they please.

First time Ive heard of this - are you sure you arent being scammed or something?!?

EDIT: Just looked and it seems you have to try and feed a poor person for that period of time - not make them starve for you...
" . . . And as for those who can fast with difficulty, they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskîn (poor person) (for every day). But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast, it is better for you if only you know." (Al-Baqarah 2:184)

Is this serious, you can pay someone to fast on your behalf?

So who does this money go to? To the poor person (does this mean they won't fast if there's no money paid)?

Seems a bit weird to me. You don't send it via email to [email protected] do you?
