Ramadan 2016 annual meeting of Muslims marking a fasting period of one month, due to start Monday, June 6 And obligations that must respect the faithful are not always what we think. Ramadan religious tradition drawn from the Koran that will start this year on June 6, suffers from many misconceptions, including the true forbidden to follow during this fasting should last a month. One thing is certain however: Muslims must respect three major forbidden during fasting. They are forbidden from eating, drinking and having sex during the day, between dawn and sunset. ? Can we swallow saliva? YES. It is a common idea received among fanatics or people who do not truly know Islam. No need to spit throughout the day, those who practice Ramadan can obviously swallow their saliva. "As for the prayers, one can rinse your mouth with water, but be careful to spit", tells us the founder of Al-Kanz. ? Can you brush your teeth or take a shower? YES, BUT ... These issues come up often during the fasting period. In reality, only one prevails prohibited: do not ingest anything other than his own saliva. Go swimming, take a shower or brush your teeth is quite possible as the person does not swallow anything. Not to tempt fate, a parade is to brush your teeth without the risk of swallowing water. A stick to chew, Siwak, made toothbrush and toothpaste office. ? Can we smoke? NO. In recent years, the cigarette was added to the banned Ramadan. Yet smoking like taking drugs, is among the Muslims sins. "Anything that harms the body is forbidden, so smoking is obviously during Ramadan, but a strict interpretation of the Koran prohibits more generally," adds Fateh Kimouche. ? Can makeup or inhale the perfume? NOT REALLY. Makeup is prohibited, and perfume is tolerated, even if it is better to use an alcohol-free fragrance. From inhalation of perfume or incense, interpretation differs across four legal schools of Islam. But the ban to inhale the perfume or incense "is not a majority in this religion," said Fateh Kimouche us. ? Can we insult someone? NO. "God does not need the fast of one who will have a reprehensible moral attitude," recalls the specialist Fateh Kimouche. The month of Ramadan is a special month, the good deeds. The idea is to do better than usual to learn to be the best possible. Insult someone, lying, committing a crime, immediately makes obsolete a day of fasting. ? Can you breastfeed? YES. The principle is that nothing will harm the individual. A pregnant woman can also do Ramadan if it does not endanger the life of her child. A sick person would aggravate his case fasting or relative who would force her child to commit a sin Ramadan. ? Can we nail biting? YES. Nail biting is permitted under certain conditions. They must be clean and no other materials (soap for example) can not be ingested.
