Russians Have to Fast for a Long Time

There are over 25 million Muslims in Russia, so it should come as no surprise to learn that the country comes alive with Ramadan traditions and the smells of Ramadan dishes during this month. However, having to fast during this time can be extremely difficult for some people, as some areas of Russia have an incredible 22 hours of daylight a day. This means that they have to fast for 22 hours, and only have 2 hours to pray and feast on their Iftah.

Because of this, some Muslims can't take part in Ramadan fasting for their own health and safety. If this happens, they can make charitable donations to make up for it instead.
