Mouthing off is not a crime

There are many reason why people tend to be quiet when they are fasting. First they are too hungry and thirsty to talk. Second, they don’t want to pollute their mouth with gossip and other useless talk. And third, their mouths tend to smell something awful during the day. But does fasting always equal a complete and embarrassed silence? Yeah, gossiping is a waste of breath, but when your friends are in need of advice, and when group study session is well under way, or when the buka puasa bersama committee is having a meeting, don’t let your fear of bad breath stop you from speaking up.
