O que o islã ensina sobre Pular refeições para emagrecer
Segundo o islã, Pular refeições para emagrecer: Controvertido / matizado.
Comer com moderação pela saúde é bom, e o jejum voluntário é até meritório — mas o Profeta proibiu o jejum contínuo e disse 'teu corpo tem direito sobre ti' (Bukhari). A restrição extrema que danifica a saúde viola 'não vos mateis' (4:29); estudiosos tratam transtornos alimentares como doença, não pecado, exigindo cuidado.

Islam's texts on eating strike the balance with a famous two-part rule. On one side: the Quran's 'eat and drink, but do not be excessive' (7:31), the Prophet's practical counsel to eat a third, drink a third, and leave a third, and the strong tradition of voluntary fasting — Mondays and Thursdays, Ashura — which makes meal-skipping for godliness familiar territory. On the other side, the guardrails: the Prophet's correction of Abdullah ibn Amr, who fasted every day and prayed all night — 'your body has a right over you, your eyes have a right over you, your guest has a right over you' — and the Quran's 'do not kill yourselves' (4:29) with 'do not throw yourselves into destruction' (2:195). Muslim jurists therefore evaluate weight-loss meal-skipping by effect: restriction that preserves or restores health is commendable (the Sunnah even recommends stopping before fullness); restriction that produces dizziness, amenorrhea, or obsessive fear of food crosses into prohibited self-harm. Eating disorders are treated in contemporary Islamic pastoral care as illness — with the added sensitivity that fasting obligations are suspended for medical need, and that scholars explicitly free sufferers from guilt about eating on Ramadan-exempt status.

- If meals are being skipped from fear of food rather than a plan, treat that as a symptom and get a professional.
- Muslim: 'Your body has a right over you' — restriction may heal, never harm (Quran 4:29).

Book of Repentance (Sahih Muslim)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said Allah rejoices more when you return than a man who finds water in the desert. Islamic tradition holds that tawbah is always accepted for those who sincerely seek it.

Is intermittent fasting religiously okay?
Yes — fasting is native to each faith here; their own calendars of fast days make the case.
