that have qualified for the second round in Brazil face a thorny question on
Sunday when much of the Islamic world will start observing the holy month of
Ramadan with a dawn to dusk fast. The question is trickiest for the Algerian
team, which faces a formidable German side on Monday. There are also Muslims on
the Nigerian and French teams and those players also will have to weigh their
religious convictions against the possible effects of fasting on their
performance. "We need to discuss it among ourselves," Algerian player Djamel
Mesbah said. "Its clear that our religion is very important for the team, so we
will talk about it and see how to go forward." Athletes in the Olympics in 2012
faced the same hurdle, with many teams allowing their players to eat during
Ramadan so as not to impair their performance and make up for it at another time
or make donations to charity. While fasting during daytime over the 30 days of
Ramadan, including abstaining from drinking liquids, is mandatory for all able
bodied Muslims and one of the five pillars of Islam, there are exemptions,
including for the sick, pregnant, infirm or elderly. Those travelling or going
to war are also excluded and it is under this provision that most athletes will
likely delay the fast until a more suitable time. Algerian team captain Madjid
Bouguerra pointed out in interviews with the Algerian press that it is a
challenge Muslim players in European clubs have long faced and when he was with
the Glasgow Rangers, he fasted but made sure he kept his performance up. "The
hardest thing is staying hydrated, but its ok, the weathers good here," he said.
"Some players will postpone their fast for another time, but depending on my
physical condition, I think I will do it." Bacary Sagna, a Muslim player in the
French squad, said that many of the players who do it are used to it from their
time in the European leagues and able to function. "As a Muuslim I know that
there are certain rules that allow us to avoid it," he told The Associated Press
in Ribeirao Preto, Brazil.

those that will do it." From a religious standpoint, however, it becomes a bit
more complex. Islam lacks a central hierarchy like the Catholic church and any
imam can issue an opinion that is then obeyed depending on how much respect they
command. Even in Algeria, which is bathing in the euphoria of qualifying for the
second round of the World Cup for the first time in its history, there have been
a range of opinions from religious scholars, with some coming out quite strongly
against fasting exemptions. "It is not allowed for an Algerian player to
avoiding fasting just for a game -- they must fast because God is with those who
fast and young people can fast and play at the same time," said Mohammed
Mekerkab, the head of Algerias association of religious scholars. He also
dismissed the exemption for travel claimed by most athletes since the provision
was only for voyages undertaken in the search for knowledge, health reasons or
fighting jihad. Algerias government-appointed High Islamic Council, however, has
come down in favour of those wanting to delay their fast. Sheikh Mohammed Sherif
Kaher, the head of the councils commission for religious opinions said "those
playing can abstain from fasting." Dr. Hakim Chalabi, a specialist in sports and
fasting who accompanied the team to Brazil, admitted in an interview that it is
a delicate question because of the need for hydration and the increased risk of
injuries. He noted, though, that fasting wasnt always a total hindrance to
players. "We are often asked to urge players not to fast, but oddly, in some
cases, there are athletes that get better results during Ramadan because they
are fasting and want to," he said. "It can be a spiritual and psychological
aid."
