A lot has been said in regards to the rescheduling of the GCSE and A-Level exams, so that it does not affect Muslim students who may be fasting for Ramadan.
Instead of rescheduling the exam period, Khola Hasan, a scholar at the Islamic Sharia Council, in London, has suggested an alternative option. She proposed an alternative interpretation of Sharia in which pupils would be allowed to eat before going to school, at start to fast before full sunrise, (at about 5am), rather than before first light, which is around 2:40am. She said, “Islam allows you to look at what is moderate.”
However, not all Muslim scholars have agreed with her proposal.
