Another day, another problematic tweet making the rounds on the Muslim Twitterverse.
This time around, the tweet in question targets Muslim women who don't wear the Islamic hijab yet fast for Ramadan. As per usual, Twitter users were quick to criticize the woman behind the tweet and set the facts straight with responses that range from the seriously informative to the savagely sarcastic.
While Ramadan is supposed to center on promoting spirituality and fostering kindness, some Muslims often share unsolicited advice regarding how other Muslims should observe the holy month.
For instance, a Twitter user who identifies herself by her first name, Shayma, posted a tweet last week in which she suggested that women cannot fast unless they wear the hijab.
"How can you fast but not wear a hijab?" she asked.
After facing severe backlash over the tweet, Shayma wrote that "people need to calm down" because she was simply asking a question. She also retweeted someone's clarification of her own tweet, writing that Shayma's question implied women should wear the hijab while fasting the "same way you can't pray without wearing a hijab."
