I got asked this question yesterday and I honestly don't know the answer to it. So, it got me thinking into the whole concept of fasting.
Everyone knows that that beginning and breaking fast are tied to the rising and setting of the sun. I have 2 questions regarding that :
-
How did it come about that fasting was tied to the position of the sun in the sky ? Was it the prophet that explicitly said it was so ?
-
If it was indeed the prophet that said that fasting should begin just before sunrise and continue until just after sunset, surely the prophet should have known (as he's God's messenger) on Earth, that there are some places on Earth (beyond the tropics) where the sun is always in the sky for half of the year and made provisions for such places for the sake of not leaving any place out ?
