lol!
So far I haven't seen a proper reply for this.
Perhaps Muslims in the poles aren't required to pray or fast.

This should explain, Insha'Allah.

That's a solution, I thought of it too. Its a common sense solution, I don't think the fatwa proved it using hadiths or the Quran. Can you do that, use common sense to make religious rulings?

of course, where there are no specific rulings for a particular dilemma then we should use the common sense that God gave us, along with general principles (for example, that there should not be too great a burden placed on people). and Allah knows best.

Peace - I have found that it is not advisable to drink gallons of water before commencing the fast. Your body just gets rid of it double quick and dehydration follows more quickly (em that's my personal experience anyway, I'm not claiming to be a scientist or anything). So it is better to have 2 glasses of water before the fast, not more. I would avoid all stimulants like tea or coffee as well. It's hard at first but your body soon adapts, alhamdulillah and I find I become less and less thirsty during the day as Ramadan progresses.

I had the same question towards prayer's time. Very good topic.

Sounds like great advice. Would it be better to drink extra water the night before to perhaps hyper-hydrate your body like a camel? I often work outside and find the thirst part the hardest. Do you have additional advice?
