Dad soomi karana ma sooman She didn't give up on fasting; she literally can't.

LIttle children baaba sooma these days and some adults can't.

she is suffering from cerebral palsy

I give her credit for fasting with that condition but as you get older it'll get harder I suppose.

Maskiin. May Allah have mercy on her. There are those who don't fast at all even though they are healthy. She is better than those thousand times. Inshallah Allah will reward her.

Misleading title...may Allah make it easy on her.

I was at the Mall of America getting a Chinese take out and I saw three Somali girls wearing hijab, and FULL power red lipstick, very sexy young girls---they were gluttoning on sesame chicken and mango chicken like there was NO Ramadan tomorrow .


Not only them, I saw several Somali boys with cadaan and madoow friends-- eating and drinking fruity teenage drinks. But I am more shocked at the hypocrisy of the hijab and the shameless act of eating in DAY BROADLIGHT!

Show some compassion for others' medical condition. If she could fast, she would've done so.

It's possible for all three girls to have had "a valid" reason as to why they weren't fasting.

As for the guys, I obviously can't say the same. But who knows, we should be giving them the benefit of the doubt and not jump to conclusions.

I think she meant there are adults who chose not to fast while there are children who don't but don't have to.
