In the final year of uni guys, ive been fasting during exams for a while now, it always helped me do better, it acc helps you focus or at least i find it does
I'm not a Muslim (but I am religious), and don't know much about the religion, but I'm kind of curious about this. Is it written that you have to fast, under any circumstances, or are you allowed to not fast if you have a reason, like exams or pregnancy? Can you just fast after the 'official' Ramadan to make up days you missed?

yeah voluntary fasts (mon + thurs) always seemed to enhance my performance and these were for 3 hour exams.
Insha Allah, I will definitely fast because i just have two Papers(A2) and I believe Allah Almighty will give me strength. Anyways what are your subjects and when is your last paper? Good Luck for your papers!
Mashallah thats good, and I study RE, Psychology and business studies and my last exam is 22nd June Inshallah, wbu?

It is obligatory however there are some reasons why its permissible not to fast such as pregnancy, illness, travelling etc. Exams however is a grey area, some consider it a valid reason to miss a fast and others do not so I'm guessing in this case its up to the individual and that is between them and Allah (God). You can fast anytime in the year to make up for missed fasts in Ramadan however fasts in Ramadan are very much filled with more blessings so its really someones loss if they don't.
Most of you guys don't follow Islam how it is supposed to be followed in terms of quran and hadith. No idea why you're all fussing over whether you will fast or not during exams.

May I ask what you are referring to when you say we don't follow Islam based on Quran and sunnah? Because I'm pretty sure most of us like to think we are. Please enlighten me.
Nope! I prefer it at the comfort of my own home, but i love going on walks around the uni!
Oh nice! Inshallah I will be living on campus because for nursing theres loads of night shifts etc so its best if I just stay there. When I went to the campus for my interview I really liked it!

Exams are not a valid excuse to miss ramadan's fasts under any valid opinion. I tagged you in a previous post where I explained this. Check IslamQA for further info; type "fasting excuses".
I don't understand why you're just making up stuff?

How am I making up stuff? It is a valid excuse. Islam was not made do be hard for us. We shouldn't see fasts as a burden and if I feel they will negatively affect my exams I will not keep them. They can cause dehydration and dizziness which is not an ideal state to take exams in, especially if they will determine if you will go to uni or not. I have spoken to a lot of knowledgeable people about Islam and they have told me the exact same thing. If you want to keep them, by all means do so, but you are allowed to miss one, if necessary, with the intention of making it up after. At the end of the day it is between an individual and Allah.

How? Which scholars are these? But most importantly . . . Where is the evidence?
