Fasting in the holy month of Ramadan<\/a> is the 4th pillar of Islam <\/a>where Muslims are expected to refrain from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset as an exercise of self-discipline and penance that has a deeper spiritual level. Some Muslims do not fast … prison time and fines await those who eat in public.<\/p>\n

For the first time in Egypt, the Ministry of Interior arrests Muslims who eat and drink in public during Ramadan. Hassan El Helali<\/span> wrote<\/a> a post titled:<\/p>\n

In Aswan, police forces have arrested 155 Egyptians for committing a felony. In Hurghada (a tourist destination) the governor of the Red Sea issued a decree mandating shutting down all restaurants and coffee shops in the morning during Ramadan. Several Egyptians have also been taken into custody. In Dakahlia, seven young men were arrested for smoking in public and they were released after a 500 L.E. bail.<\/div>\n

There is nothing in the Egyptian law or the constitution to support the arrests; any citizen has the right to fast or not to fast as he pleases and no one has the power to coerce him into fasting.<\/div>\n

There is no such offence in the Egyptian law as opposed to Saudi and Pakistani laws. Lawyer Magdy Hanna said that police officers might mistakenly arrest a Christian eating or drinking in public. They could arrest a Muslim who is sick and is exempted from fasting. Should this citizen be humiliated on the grounds of his guilt until proven innocent? We are worried that the arrests will include women who are wearing pants or make-up! Hanna asked for a clear definition of "not fasting in public" for those who were arrested were sitting inside a coffee shop not in a public street … the lack of clarity leaves it to each officer to decide who's doing what.<\/div>\n

The salafis hailed the arrests as a step forward towards implementing Shari'a laws <\/a>in Egypt. Sheikh Adel El Sayed, deputy Ansar Al Sunna Salafi Organization in Egypt, said that it is true that fasting is between God and the worshiper and God will reward or punish those who fast or choose not to fast. But in the meantime, flaunting sins publicly is against Shari'a and the police initiative falls under the category of "The Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice".  If a man drinks at home, I cannot arrest him but if he drinks in public, I am fully entitled to pursue him in the name of the law – there is a clear clause in the Egyptian law against violating ethics and morals.<\/div>\n

A step closer towards having an Egyptian Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice Police.
\n\t\tThe Slogan of this campaign should be: By Hook or By Crook you are going to Heaven. Next Step: Homes will be raided and invaded in search of the infidels.
\n\t\tIn the future, police forces will be sent to Afghanistan to receive "home busting" training.
\n\t\tA huge event will be organized in celebration of the elimination of personal freedom. What felony did those people commit?
\n\t\tAssume that I do not want to fast … it is none of your business.
\n\t\tThis is between me and God.
\n\t\tThe officers who were involved in the campaigns should be tried and asked to step down.
\n\t\tWho are are you to force me to fast? Do you like playing God?<\/div>\n

Bikya Masr<\/span> <\/a>said that the Egyptian government denied the arrests:<\/p>\n

\n

In an exclusive statement to Egyptian newspaper al-Youm al-Saba’a<\/span>, Assistant Interior Minister General Nagi al-Hasi denied the reports, which were reported byBikya<\/span> and the Egyptian newspaper.<\/p>\n

He said that police crackdowns in Aswan were not part of any “government campaign” to arrest those who publicly broke the fast. He argued that people had “mixed things and were confused over the matter, since the security measures taken are to follow-up on field activities of all police departments to combat crime in general and drugs.”<\/p>\n

Hasi added that police arrested those who were acting “suspicious” to police. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Fasting in the holy month of Ramadan is the 4th pillar of Islam where Muslims are expected to refrain from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset as an exercise of self-discipline and penance that has a deeper spiritual level.
