"JASMIN ULLAH: It’s — you’re supposed to start fasting when you hit puberty, so for guys and girls it’s different ages.
SAKINA AHMAD: I started my fast when I was six. It was hard. I kept on breaking it by accident."
Okay, since when do girls hit puberty at age 6? And is it not child abuse if you starve your 6-year-old child for more than 12 hours a day for an entire month? It's one thing for this to happen in Muslim countries, but how is that okay in Western civs?
*puzzled*
They don't. I reached puberty at 13 so thats when I should have fasted according to muslim scholars.
