Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim lunar calendar, which is one of the four holy months. It is during Ramadan that a fairly strict post of Uraz is observed. Fasting is one of the main five pillars of Islam, therefore all believers must hold Uruza. This post is mandatory for all Muslims over the age of twelve. There are, of course, some exceptions to the rules that allow not to stick to the post or make it less rigid and limited. Such exceptions, for example, include pregnancy, illness or old age. But it is worthwhile to talk separately about how to properly keep Uraz woman, so that the post will benefit not only in the spiritual and religious terms, but also in terms of health. After fasting, in fact, this is the same diet , only more long-term, therefore it is necessary to monitor the condition of your body so that the "shake-up" of food will do him good, not harm.
How to keep the post of Uraza for women?
The main specificity of the Muslim post of Uraza is that the quantitative or qualitative composition of food is absolutely not regulated, that is, you can eat absolutely any food, of course, still mindful of the moderation. The most important role is played solely by the time of eating. During the Uraza, Muslims do not eat anything every day from sunrise to sunset. Also at this time they abstain from intimacy. After sunset and before sunrise it is allowed to eat any food. Intimate intimacy in the dark is also allowed, although some, especially strict believers, prefer to refrain altogether from any sexual contacts for the entire thirty-day period of fasting.
According to Muslim traditions, it is customary after sunset to gather in large families to taste a variety of tasty dishes after a fasting. Since these dishes are prepared in the daytime by women, then, of course, they are allowed to try food while preparing it. Men are categorically forbidden.
Generally, during the Uraza it is forbidden to drink alcohol, smoke, take any medications, except for those that need to be taken daily, for example, insulin and so on. For women, in addition to this list, there are also separate restrictions and recommendations. For example, during the Uraza it is worth to refrain from makeup, from spirits and ornaments. A bright make-up or too strong a fragrance emanating from a woman is considered a violation of fasting.
Separately, it is worth mentioning about menstruation . If the cycle time falls on Uruza, then these days the woman can temporarily refrain from fasting, but then these days will have to "work out" so to speak, adding them to the original thirty days.
When can not you keep Urusa a woman?
Although for many believers their religious rules are paramount, do not forget about the importance of their physical condition, health. This is especially important for women, as for the successors of the family.
Since the Uraza is still a fairly tough post with a long time of fasting, then the question of whether Uruza can be kept for a pregnant woman is unequivocal: no.
This also applies to whether you can keep Uraza breastfeeding woman. Since mothers need to receive a variety of nutrients during the period of breastfeeding in order for the milk to be useful and for the child, prolonged hunger strikes are contraindicated at this time. They can lead to the loss of milk. Or else it simply will not contain the nutrients the child needs.
