How Muslims Around the World Use Drugs During Ramadan
Ramadan is a period of introspection, self-restraint and prayer, and most commonly associated with fasting from food and water from sunrise to sunset for around 29 days every year.
This custom is one of the core pillars of Islam, and thus a key practicing pillar of identity for many Muslims around the world. Ramadan is considered the holiest month in Islam, where prayers are stronger than throughout the year. While many abstain from substances throughout this period, particularly if they use drugs in a recreational manner, this can be more challenging for those struggling with addiction, or within treatment for drug use.
