Forgetting About Fasting Is Common

In regular life outside of Ramadan, it's usual for food to be shared. In the office, in the school canteen, or even with the free samples at the grocery store. And while Muslims commit themselves to fast, sometimes it's easy to forget about this when a coworker offers you a bite of their sandwich or someone offers a free sample cookie on the street. In fact, many Muslims have had to spit food out when they remember that they're not allowed to eat anything.

Of course, they do everything they can to stick to the Ramadan traditions, but most Muslims have slipped up and forgotten that they can't even have a drink of water during this time.
