It would be great if the article covered some of the practical aspects of fasting. For example, the article states: "Fasting on a long hot working day carries a small risk of dehydration." I'm not a doctor, but I would imagine that the issue of not drinking water throughout a work day in summer is more than a small risk. Especially in Africa or the Arabian Peninsula.

Correct. All correct, but don't move this for hell's sake! 109.149.156.77 ( talk) 07:47, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Are you a muslim? Isaadadam ( talk) 13:18, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
Are you guys morons or just ignorant? Sawm is the arabic word for fasting. Whether its jewish arab or christian arab... Sawm is fasting and has nothing to do with islam.
What is wrong with this article? Let me count the ways...

About two years ago, one-time anonymous user 41.97.109.106 added the first half of the section "Fasting while in polar region" see: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Sawm&diff=next&oldid=620239789.
The statements are not at all backed up by the references given; in fact, none of the references given even remotely deal with the subject at hand. If no one has any objections, I will delete that anonymous user's "contribution". Akhooha ( talk) 23:49, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Both moved — Amakuru ( talk) 13:01, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
– On the grounds that English should be used in titles ( WP:UE), that the article is about fasting in Islam, rather than than fasting in general, and that "fasting" is more natural and recognizable to non-experts. Klbrain ( talk) 17:42, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
I deleted the statement that says "Fasting is not unique to Islam, and has been practiced for centuries in connection with religious ceremonies by Christians, Jews, Baha'is, Confucianists, Hindus, Taoists and Jains" from the Etymology section, Because:
Why is it needed to emphasize the fact that fasting is practiced in other religions in this particular article?

As the article is about fasting as a practice as per Islamic jurisprudence, the introduction, almost wholly, seems irrelevant. There is not much need for the discourse about so many different religions which also have fasting as an established practice in them or about how fasting of sorts can also be used as a political weapon. These points may fit better under general pages about fasting. 2A04:4A43:4E4F:F25E:0:0:75A:1A56 ( talk) 11:05, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
