The Ashanti Regional Chief Imam, Sheikh Abdul Mumin Haroun has urged parents to find another school for their wards who have been prevented from engaging in the ongoing Ramadan fast.
His comment comes on the back of Wesley Girls Senior High School’s refusal to permit one Muslim student, Bushira Ishmael to fast; giving her two options to either forfeit her fasting or admission status.
Speaking in a live interview with Kwame Adinkrah on Kumasi-based Pure FM he said ““Kwame, fasting in Islam is a requirement and no one can stop you from doing that. The School in their decision erred in preventing her from fasting and I will pray to them to revise their decision since it isn’t late yet.
However, I will urge my people that they should find another school for their children if they’re prevented from fasting in specific schools.” Sheikh Abdul Mumin Haroun intimated.
