A Teacher's Consideration During Ramadan

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I'm a teacher and this year I have a Muslim student for the first time. She mentioned fasting for Ramadan, and I'm trying my best to be supportive, though I admit I'm not very familiar with Islamic practices. In my classroom, I give out cookies when all students pass a test, and they earned them recently! I plan to bring the cookies this week and want to include her respectfully. Since she's fasting during the day, is it okay for me to pack her cookies separately so she can take them home to enjoy after iftar in the evening? I want to recognize her hard work without interfering with her fast. JazakAllah khair for any advice, and Ramadan Mubarak!

You're an amazing teacher for even asking. Separating the cookies is a lovely gesture-it means a lot when people try to understand.

As a muslim, i can say that's exactly right. It’s the perfect solution-recognizing her effort while respecting the fast. JazakAllah khair for your kindness!

Yes, absolutely! Giving her a separate pack to take home is the way to go. Thank you for being so considerate.

Definitely pack them for her! Maybe add a little note saying "for after iftar" so it's extra clear. Ramadan Mubarak!

That's such a thoughtful idea! Packing them separately is perfect-it shows you care and respect her fast. She’ll appreciate it so much.
