A dispute broke out between a Muslim man and a woman aboard a public bus after he objected to her eating while he was fasting. The encounter, which was caught on video, has since gone viral, sparking debate on social media.
The video, originally shared on X (formerly Twitter), captures the moment the man confronted the woman, expressing his discomfort over the smell of her food. He insisted that she should refrain from eating in consideration of his fasting, suggesting that she wait until she got off the bus before having her meal.
Unmoved by his request, the woman responded that she was simply eating her lunch and did not see why her meal should be an issue for him. Despite her firm stance, the man persisted, arguing that her actions were inconsiderate given that he was observing his fast.
The incident has triggered widespread reactions online, with users divided on the matter. While some sympathised with the man’s perspective, others argued that fasting is a personal choice and should not impose restrictions on those who are not participating.
The debate has also brought attention to broader discussions on religious tolerance, public etiquette, and individual freedoms in shared spaces.
