i am a Muslim, many philosophy of fasting actually. but i give you an answer. when we are fasting we will feel the hunger of poor people. by that, we can feel empathy to the poor and give them some of our food so they can eat.

Fasting for Muslim is something related to the teaching of God and to let Muslim to feel the hunger that they never feel before so that they will learn to save food and not to waste their food. Do you think that this is correct?

yeah you are right, we can know feel of hunger that happen to our brother who unlucky than us. but, about waste the food is not actually the meaning of fasting, I agree if that's one of fasting philosophy, but actually the philosophy is we must help the people who is unlucky than us, because they feel of hunger is pain.
