Ramadan Mubarak!
Stay safe this month and if fasting is going to cause health issues, get your Imam to give you a pass until it does not negatively affect your health.

True, but Ramadan fasting is no water, food or anything else ingested during daylight hours. When it is 130F on a rig, that takes a lot of safety management. Cool vests, spraying with water, lots and lots of breaks in the AC.Sorry if I broke any rules but r offended anyone. Not my intent.
