Is there anyone else who doesn’t fast during Ramadan? I haven’t come across any other friend of mine. Told this to one of the friends and got quite a nasty reaction.

I’ve encountered quite a few. Some were l chill about it and their reasonings and others were almost offensive as to explaining why they didn’t

I think it’s ok for your friends and family to give you advice, but no one has the right to judge except Allah. I have a family member that doesn’t fast and my role is to advise them for their own good, not necessarily discourage or humiliate them.

Are there other Muslims who don't fast in Ramadan for various reasons? Sure. Are you allowed to skip your fasts with a valid reason? Of course, and May Allah give you an equal reward of a fasting person if this is the case. Do Muslim skip fasts because of potential issues with faith (they don't believe it is important/required or even see the value in fasting)? Yes.

Only we ourselves can decide if we fall in the latter. Idt there is any disagreement that fasting is required for Muslims. So, if its the latter and you genuinely want to discuss it/try to find an answer, we can help iA. If its just to say, "Hey I don't fast" then obv to each his/her own.

Sometimes I do sometimes I don't, just due to personal reasons and feeling sick. I've found that if I don't, alot of people (so called friends) are very judgy

I don’t fast

I am diabetic and post lunch if I don’t eat I either feel light headed or will just plan be non functional

Plus having summer fasting hrs isn’t helpful

I also don’t fast. You’re not alone.
