I am a student living in UK who loves to travel. I always wanted to go for a trip to Europe and therefore, I booked one this year and am really looking forward to it. I have booked my 10 day tour to 5-6 countries in July, 2013. I realized a few weeks later after I had booked that the period falls in the holy month of Ramadan. That is my dilemma. I wrote to the tour operator asking them if I can change the date and they told me that it will cost me around 120 pounds minimum additional to change the date. Since, I am a student and tight on budget I did not want to lose that 120 pounds. I have been told that Maghrib would be post 10pm in those days and we will have these extremely long fasting days. Therefore, I am having 2nd thoughts about fasting for that long while travelling as it will be extremely difficult since we will be walking and travelling on buses for those full 10 days continuously (except during the night). Cutting it short, is it possible that I avail the concession of not fasting while I travel? What are the pros and cons for me in this? Please note that my course is only a 1 year one which will finish at the end of this year and I will return to Saudi Arabia where I live iA. Also please note that the purpose of my trip is purely for leisure.

I’ve always wondered exactly what kind of gambling islam prohibits. No doubt that gambling with money is forbidden but what about taking chances with things that do not involve money? For example, if I go into an exam and I am risking not studying a certain topic because I do not think it will come up,is this permissible? or playing cards but NOT for money?
