Are We Really Welcoming Ramadan?

At the end of Ramazan there are few days of religious holidays. Approximately 2 months and 13 days later, there is another religious holiday.

For antient reasons that I do not know, Turkish people prefer not to marry between the two holidays. I am not sure if this practice is followed thru the rest of the Moslem world.

This is not a religious or civil requirement...and is not really enforced in any way.

Believe it, or not.

"Another thing, can you rinse your mouth with water and spit it out or nothing at all to your mouth?"

You may even forget that you are fasting and eat or drink unknowingly. If you sincerely repent, when you realise your mistake, your fast is not spoiled.

Washing your mouth in full awareness however may be risky. A single drop down your throat may cast doubt on the day's fast
