i am a muslim fasting this month and my house mate is eating right next to me now.. i am doing this for my own reasons and i have will power and strength to do it by God! elhemduallah!

you can eat and drink if you are not a muslim but just try to be as discreet as posible, if nothing else remember you are in a mulsim country so above all comes respect!

God bless! :-)

It is advisable that you eat and drink only where you cannot be seen by Muslims.

Straight approach: if you are familiar with the neighborhood, you can simply ask them if they feel offended by eating by the pool or not. The same applies to the gym.

At my work, most of the Spanish staff asked me if I feel offended by them eating & smoking in front of me, and I told them I don't mind at all.

Smoking also is prohibited for Muslims in Ramadan.

You can consume liquids in a gym.

In the gym, there is a very high probability that fasting muslims won't be working out during the fasting period.

Try to be as discreet as possible when you are not inside your house.

You are not allowed; you should eat and drink in side your house. Secondly you have to respect of holy month.

as long as your pool is not visible to the public......it should be fine.

Your pool is still "In Public". Suggest you eat inside your villa
