If you don’t fast for medical reasons do you have to eat in private?
Yes— please do. Especially in a school setting (but then again, that’s just my scenario). I’ve seen girls who ‘pretend’ that others are fasting, who make microwave popcorn in front of people, etc. etc. It’s not funny.
Goq, are you referring to a maaras ayin reason or just because it makes you hungry?
For pregnant women who are not fasting it is not so easy to hide on a school setting.
I have not fasted anything other than YK and TB in 3 years. Pregnant, nursing, pregnant again, nursing again. I waited till my husband was out of the house this morning because I didn’t want to flaunt it in his face. I went out for pizza with my kids. It was all pregnant women and mothers of small babies there, so we were all patur from fasting and eating with our kids. Maybe people walking by the pizza shop were jealous, I don’t know. But I don’t think there’s a need to hide, just no flaunting.
Yes exactly. My co worker is pregnant and we spend 9 hours a day together only with a 30 minute break. I don’t expect her to hide in the parking lot and eat but she also doesn’t flaunt what she’s eating.
