Eating publically during the fasting hours is a “form of chaos and an attack against Islam’s sacredness,” the Islamic educational institution declared.
“It is an act of openly committing a sin, which is prohibited and insulting to public decency in Muslim countries, as well as a flagrant violation against the sanctity of society and its right to respect its beliefs,” it continued.
Dar al-Ifta’s edict provoked controversy on social media. Several Facebook users posted vehemently angry comments on the post, viewing it as an attack on free will. Others even went so far to lambast the edict for potentially inciting violence against those who publically break their fast.
