@adey, every person is free to do as they feel is right in Islam. Sadly you get some family members and individuals that try to 'pressure' others into following their way.
Fasting is one of the four pillars but there are exceptions as mentioned (ill, too old, too young, may put health at risk). Islam isn't just about following the rules, but having a good intention. Thus fasting but not because you want to doesn't count as God sees into your heart.
As for the areas where there is more daylight, sadly that's the burden someone lives with, however if they cannot go more than 12 hours then they are permitted to eat as they are putting their health in assured risk.
Heero is just blind to my comments. Read my past posts heero and see what I have to say about the moons. It's just a guide. We're not lunatics. (Referring to Lunar worshippers not insane people).
