Can you imagine a baby being forced to fast? As far as I'm aware there is no lower or upper age limit on fasting listed in the Quran. And I imagine there must be some very silly people out there who refuse to consume their prescribed medication because they believe it will invalidate their fast.
I was listening to Abdur Raheem Green talk about Ramadan the other day and in the question and answer portion of his presentation he was telling listener about how his eight year old daughter can fast for Ramadan and that basically you should be ashamed of yourself if you're an adult and want to use Meccan times for Ramadan to make it easier for yourself. But he subsequently twisted the Quran himself anyway when talking about places with 24 hours of sunlight and saying you then shouldn't use local sunrise and sunset. Double standards I think.
