Muslims in the northern hemisphere undergo fasting actually pretty heavy this year. How not, they have to starve more than 20 hours because there were summer, where the sun shines longer and longer runs during the day.
Even in northern Sweden, precisely the city of Kiruna, the sun continues to shine there all day. So how Muslims there should fast?
"We are waiting for sunset every day, but it will never happen," said Ali Melhem (45), who had been living in Kiruna, for 24 years. On the website timeanddate.com, time stamped sunsets at 0:22, and the sunrises at 1:09 pm
Ramadhan alone each year is advancing the next 10 days. Melhem, as one of the Muslims who have to starve more than 20 hours of fasting also said that this is her first summer at Kiruna.
"When I moved here, it was still spring time (sometime in March-May)," he said, as quoted by The Local.
Melhem actually not stay silent. With his wife, he tried to find a solution. Some other Muslims from Iraq to Iran could give him advice if Melhem fasting in the fall. Or breaking the same as Mecca time.
Melhem also encouraged to break their fasting with the following time in a nearby town. But almost the same, in Lulea or Umea also have to starve for 23 hours a day.
Until now, there has been no research that analyzes the effects of prolonged fasting bad for your health, according to Omar Mustafa, director of the Islamic League in Sweden.
"Some imams and Islamic organizations have a different opinion. Actually, it's up to them, Islam offers a variety of options that never makes it difficult," said Mustafa.
Meanwhile, according to experts in Egypt - where they are fasting schedule hunger more than 18 hours a day - suggesting that someone could follow the break schedule as the closest Islamic state. But there are also opinions that states, no matter long or a short, one should fast according to the time at home.
