Eating publicly in Ramdhan For those who are not fasting ...be it valid reasons or not , there should be some shame in you that you dont eat in public . To at least be shy of eating front of others. Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto,Ontario, Canada, states the following: You are best advised to observe the sanctity of Ramadan by choosing to do so discreetly rather than making a public display of it. Having said this, however, I must state that there is nothing wrong for you to eat and drink while you are not fasting due to reasons that are acceptable in the Shari`ah. We know from the authentic sources that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to eat and drink in public in order to show people that they are allowed to so while journeying or in jihad. Therefore, we also find the practice of the Prophets Companions never abstaining from food and drink while they were traveling during the month of Ramadan. Therefore, you need not have any inhibition in this matter. Lastly remember the following hadith: Haya [bashfulness] is altogether good.) [Bukhari] (Haya is from faith.) [Bukhari] (Whoever is without haya is without religion. And the one without haya cannot enter Paradise.) [Daylami]
