It has begun.
Ramadan is a difficult time for the ghula. Night is normally the time when Sawm would end, but night is also the time when Kindred wake. Sleeping through the day is not fasting. Ramadan is about patience and self-control; without sacrifice, it means nothing. The Banu Shaitan spread their false beliefs about how Kindred should participate, believing that feeding from only a single type of vessel is sufficient. As with all their other misguided views on Arkan-al-Islam, they are wrong. That is not a sign of obediance to Allah.
For the ghula, Sawm requires fasting until sunrise, when a white line can be seen at the horizon. Ideally, the fast should not be broken until after fajr, the dawn prayer.
Perhaps in the future I will organize my thoughts on Shahadah, Salat, Zakaah, and Hajj.
