It's not acceptable because u re not sacrificing anything...... The beauty of fasting is when u deprive urself of what u av. You having a sumptuous meal @ home and u chose to take ur eyes off it because u re determined to fast. smiley

Is there a need to starve yourself simply because you want something from a merciful being?


they will never understand. the best form of fasting is keeping yourself away from sin.

Those days, when one doesn't have cash or food items in school, we simply say "I convert it to fasting" grin grin grin

I know Our God is a Merciful God and also a Consuming fire cool

This "conversion", has it played out nice for anyone?

Is it acceptable before God?

Yes is acceptable before Allah. When Prophet Muhammad (SAW) ask his wife's whether there is food in the early part morning and they said there is none then he said from that time he is fasting, his reward is with Allah INSHA ALLAH.

to be sincere with you, it is unacceptable. the bible says God cannot be mocked, whatever a man soweth that will he reap. you only choose to fast cause you have no food, but if you have food you will not even think of fasting. may God help us.
Re: Fasting Because You Are Broke. Is It Acceptable Before God? by BlackLeopard(m): 8:48am On Mar 22, 2015
I believe God'd encourage sparing and Getting Meal, because food very much is preferable to fasting if can be done.

And otherwise yes, you're giving the thought to God at least, and not lamenting not being given money and food. Circumstance turned into prayer, God's gotta get it.

It's not necessarily mocking.

The OP thinks of God instead of say, going to commit a crime while crying 'you God made me do it by not giving me food'. There's a difference in intent and action. It's not mocking. It may not be the most sincere out there, but it's not harmful and to laugh at God; it's respect.

like asking is there any need for Christ to die for man.Bible says there are certain things that can only be done through prayer and fasting.During fast,u feed on the word and holyspirit,depriving yourself of pleasure reveals your selflessness.Yes,fasting is needed to grow as christian.

As a human being I would say it's unacceptable.
However, there is nothing wrong with connecting with your creator when you have no food.
Re: Fasting Because You Are Broke. Is It Acceptable Before God? by Ferdinandu(m): 9:02am On Mar 22, 2015
In my own church we are thought that if have to fast, then you are supposed to give cost of those food you didn't eat to the needy.

If you don't have money to eat then you have to join the rank of the needy so that people who are really fasting will help you out grin

Brothers when u fast u do so for yourself it's not God business,Yes! unless you don't know what fasting is. A Christian fast everyday nd for the humble truth you don't need to fast to receive anything from God, however you fast as a spiritual exercise Just like praying.
