Non-Muslims told to follow Ramadan rules

RIYADH, 4 November — The government has asked non-Muslim residents to refrain from eating, drinking or smoking at public places during the fasting month of Ramadan.

“This holy month commands the attention and respect of all Muslims, who refrain from eating, drinking, smoking and sex from dawn to dusk throughout the month, the Interior Ministry said in a statement.

“Moreover, all work contracts signed with the expatriates stipulate the importance of adherence to the regulations of the host country”, said the statement. “The Ministry of the Interior hopes that everyone will respect this blessed month, and it likes to draw attention that anyone who fails to abide by the regulations of this country will be penalized. These penalties may include termination of service and deportation “, it added.

Ramadan is expected to begin on Nov. 5 or 6, depending on the sighting of the new moon. (SPA)
