Prom during Ramadan?

[Anonymous]

I work for a youth org. We avoid daytime food-centered events during Ramadan and make sure that there is food available for evening meetings and events that will end after sunset. That seems to work for our students and families.

2. Ramadan dates, as explained in the recent Eid thread, are NOT decided years in advance. We know the approximate date, but the actual date might be off by 24-48 hours, because the start of Ramadan depends on physical sighting of the crescent moon, which means it starts at slightly different times in different regions of the world.

Our school (a private) just changed the day off for Eid this year from 5/3 to 5/2 a few weeks ago, due to a change in the lunar schedule I guess.

Your private school doesn't have senior classes of 500-700 kids.

It is not so difficult to change dates for a tiny private school.

What percentage are Muslims in HS fcps? Is it that significant?

A lot of people here act more muslim than muslims where they come from. Like born-again christians. They all need to take a chill pill.

Generally, they either chill after a few years or give up the deen altogether.

+1 Ramadan does not prevent a Muslim from participating in prom, if they wish.

Being religious does.

No need to worry about it one way or another lol

It's just a dance, not an orgy. Chill people.

“Just a dance” — the words of someone who doesn’t get it, probably because they’ve never been a serious practicing Muslim.

Then you wouldn’t be going to an unchaperoned dancing event with lots of members of the opposite sex.

My husband and I went on our first date at a Ramadan party on a party boat in a Muslim country.

So prom is probably ok.
