Nairobi-based Imams have urged fellow Muslim faithfuls across the country to cease from posting pictures of the evening suhur and morning iftar meals in social media forums during this period of Ramadhan fast.
Speaking at the Jamia Mosque, the city faithfuls said that such acts were unfair to other faithfuls since not all of them were in a position to afford the various kinds of foodstuff contained in photos being splashed on Facebook or Instagram.
"We would like to urge our brethren to desist from releasing photos of their Iftar and Suhur meals on the social media because hundreds of Muslim brothers and sisters have only bread and tea for iftar,' said Imam Juma Nasir.
During Ramadan fast, Muslims are generally expected to shower generosity to everyone, especially the poor.
The Imam affirmed that posting such photos was like provoking those who may not afford or even displaying signs of showmanship.
Juma further noted that the Ramadan fast was gradually losing its significance, observing that people tend to eat more than expected in the evenings and morning hours to compensate for the foregone hours of fast.
