So, I'm a Muslim, and in case you don't know, fasting is a muslim's yearly event where you cannot eat and drink anything from dawn to dusk. We usually eat before dawn so that we won't get hungry during the day, but it's optional. And today is the first day, hopefully I can make it, wish me luck!

@topffer I see. Is it part of the law for adults to fast?

@sol_cee I am not a Muslim. For what I know it is a law only in a few Muslims countries, and only for Muslims, but all Muslims around the world are fasting because their religion orders them to do it. Sick people and pregnant women can be dispensed to fast.
