If you are observing Ramadan this year, you’ll be fasting from dawn to sunset each day between February 28 and March 29. Fasting is a significant spiritual practice in many religious traditions, and with the right approach, it can also be done safely. However, if you have health conditions—such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, diabetes, or other medical concerns—it is important to consult with a doctor or religious leader to determine whether fasting is safe for you. Additionally, if you take medications, ask your healthcare provider whether they can be adjusted to fit your fasting schedule or if they require food and fluids. If you feel unwell during a fast, rest, hydrate with small sips of juice if needed, and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
