Why do Alawites not fast in Ramadan? Do they not know that Hz. Ali performed fasting in Ramadan? Submitted by on Tue, 21/11/2017 - 12:26
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
We learn the orders of Islam from our book, the Quran, and from the Sunnah of our Prophet, Hz. Muhammad (pbuh). The pillars of Islam are definite. No matter what their name is, no group or sect can deny prayers and fasting. Therefore, there cannot be a satisfactory answer regarding the issue. A Muslim can be satisfied only by the Quran and the Sunnah. There is no other satisfying evidence.
Besides, it cannot be said that all Alawites "do not perform prayers and fasting". Some Alawites perform prayers and they fast in Ramadan.
