Fruit chaat and periods: People are sharing their most controversial Ramazan opinions

Pakistanis are taking to social media to share their spicy opinions around the holy month

A Twitter user recently stirred the pot with an enticing question, asking others about their controversial Ramazan opinions that would have the general population coming for their necks.

The ensuing responses are equal parts hilarious and infuriating, depending on individualistic perceptions.

For instance, there's this user who wants to change the landscape of how we break our fasts

This user thinks dinner during Ramazan isn't necessary

There is no need to eat dinner after iftari https://t.co/kc6iyIniZD

Some users wanted to watch the world burn with their opinions

Pakoray is overrated.
Tang is better than that extra sweet roohafza/jame shireen.
Yougart is not gonna help with your thirst in fast. https://t.co/tdTf3MelqS

Others decided to speak up for women

I just have a suggestion this Ramzan help the women of the house. Even they have been waiting for this month. Don’t burden them with food choices. If you can’t do cooking do the dishes to help them. https://t.co/e9D6bPdtRc

women on their periods should feel free eating in public. https://t.co/WmcZRZD91C

When you see women eating/drinking water at work or school or anywhere basically, mind your business and walk away rather than asking stupid questions https://t.co/ng6yA7szrB

If a woman says she doesn't get much time to do her ibada because of ENORMOUS kitchen work, you don't get to tell her that kitchen work is ibadah too.
She knows and still wants to do all the other countless ibadas on top the kitchen ibada.
Cut them some slack for Goodness sake. https://t.co/RdsVJpcNCy

Some users laid bare the bitter truth

Ramzan is to teach Muslims humility and patience and making a lot of food in aftari which people don’t even finish defeats the purpose https://t.co/G7EYR4ICK5

— Fatima (@fatimazahiid) March 20, 2023

Other users also wanted to speak up for the non-fasting segment of folks

Banning eating/drinking in public is an unfair rule.Pakistani citizens include religious minorities,pregnant/breastfeeding,menstruating women, injured/sick people,elderly,children etc. Patience is one of the goals of fasting but our faith weakens seeing an old person drink water? https://t.co/QZ2UshDsW5

I am not sure how banning people from eating or drinking something in public is such a rigidly held idea. Your Imaan can’t possibly be that fragile that it breaks the moment you see someone eat or drink in public https://t.co/x4MWQ5Ni8j

There were also those who wished to ruffle feathers amongst tea and coffee fans

Chai is overrated,
Coffeee > Chai . https://t.co/kMv9aM4H0n

Users also took digs at what are essentially the liquid mascots of Ramazan

rohafza isnt that good https://t.co/bO9l6f4tHS pic.twitter.com/m1uuVnbw5E

Rooh Afza and Jam E Shireen are both over rated. https://t.co/S7rE75xTBi

Fruit chaat found itself with numerous haters

Masala on fruit chat should be banned. Fruit chat with very finely cut fruit, also banned. Fruit chat with too many kharbooza, also banned. Fruit chat with sugar on top? Banned.

Fruit chat with cucumber slices though? An absolute blessing of Ramadan. https://t.co/NzpbQsXytG

I will never eat fruit chaat. fruits should stay separate and not mix their juices with each other everyone else is nasty. https://t.co/6zEQsYBiAA

Kharbooza ruins the fruit chat https://t.co/wxdiwmooaj

— Nomi Ansari (@nkansari92) March 19, 2023

Desi fruit chat with masala stuff. Abomination. It's more like masala with a bit of fruit in it. 🤢 https://t.co/jdDlBxxD7L

— Namrah Shafiq (@beep2804) March 20, 2023

And finally, there were those who may have called out a vast majority

A lot of people don't fast even if they don't eat anything between Suhoor and Iftar. They just stay hungry. https://t.co/MS9hu0fsN0

Undoubtedly, a lot of these opinions are highly controversial, but it's great to know what people are discussing with Ramazan around the corner.
