Non-Muslims Ramadhan at UUM
The opening of cafes for non-Muslims studying and living at UUM is good news for multi-religious communities sharing the same place (UUM) and time (September-October/Ramadhan) with different views of the secular and sacred time within which eating and drinking are allowed or not.
The news will sound better, I think, if the policy of UUM also accommodates Muslims who are not fasting as the rules of colleges do not allow students to cook at their rooms/ colleges except the Maybank College. They also need to access cafes for breakfast and lunch. Not all Muslims are required (obligated) to fast during Ramadhan, even some of them are not allowed to fast at all by Allah and His Rasul.
