Ramadan mubarak, Happy Ramadan.

I am not sure if any C.C.F. members fast but if so I wish you all luck.

Ramadan Kareem!

I heard something on the news today about Muslims that live in the far north where the days are very long, in fact the day in Helsinki is now 21 hours long. And the days are longer the farther north one goes.

Did I understand it correctly that Muslims could observe a "day" similar in length to one in Mecca? That would certainly make sense.

The question of "what should Muslims do when..." is often a matter of considerable debate amongst Muslim theologians, I am told. For polar Muslims the conventional teaching, as I understand it, is "they must pray and fast according to the timings of areas which have moderate day and nights. But these people should see how long the days and nights in that season are. And then he can fast according to it and perform the five daily prayers.".

Similar commonsense rulings have been made for the benefit of Muslims in orbit.
