In the West – and in Islamic societies – there are people who do not want to observe the Ramadan fast. Being in a country where the penal code does not subject citizens to religious practices is an opportunity.

Family is crucial

Stopping the fast can involve family and social conflict. As in any sphere, there are people who respect individual decisions to a greater or lesser extent. For this reason, many Muslims pretend to observe Ramadan and eat in secret from their families.

There are also families that accept their members' decisions without any problem. This is the case of the girl in the video who claims that I respect Ramadan because I don't eat in front of my mum. o I respect Ramadan because I don't disturb my mother when she prays..
