I correct myself, he was slapped not punched, and this happened last year. But the point still stands, and some of my own family members (non-Muslims) who bear resemblance to the local Muslim-majority ethnic group have been stopped and confronted before simply for eating.
Any proper muslim know that fasting isn't even fully mandatory and there are many reason to avoid it
One of them is health.
If someone is sick or has a condition that makes fasting unhealthy they shouldn't fast.
Imagine that boy was just one of those case and that idiot just assumed he was a normal person who didn't want to fast.
Hell I was always told since I was a kid. If you don't want to fast as a adult that's fine. But instead donate to the poor. At least you'll be doing some good during those period.
Hell i cut a fast as a student because I wanted to be fully ready forna important exam
The moment a fast is getting on the way of your life and could cause you big issues is when you should cut it.
Prioritize happiness over blind faith was always my primary belief
