Security Guard During a Fast
Question
A security guard fasting during a long paid shift.
The Arabs know that it’s a fast day.
Would it be appropriate to eat in front of them so they won’t think I’m exhausted and that this is the time to do whatever they may be planning?
An exhausted and weak guard invites trouble.
Answer
It seems to me like a remote concern. You need to stay alert. That’s all.
