I think fasting for 20 hours or so is the exact example of "hardship".
And the verse even said "So whoever among you is ill or on a journey".
And a small cultural lesson; ancient Arabs traveled all year long, and literally lived most of their days on the road.
Okay, good job at ignoring the obvious error in one of your pillars. Then traveling has had nothing to do with the obvious geographical problem of this pillar.
The key is not "the journey"; but "the hardship":
Quote:Sura 2, The Quran:
( 183 ) O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous -
( 184 ) [Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew.
? I even made it bold.
Isn't fasting in Sweden, is hard? you yourself said it's impossible ! I think the error is in you not picking "hardship" as the key, which is quite....cherry picking?
