Eramuslim – Ibadah puasa dibulan suci Ramadhan wajib hukumnya dikerjakan bagi setiap umat Muslim di dunia, kecuali bagi mereka yang diperbolehkan untuk berbuka karena adanya uzur Syar’i seperti sakit atupun haid dan nifas bagi kalangan perempuan.
Selain kewajiban berpuasa bagi mereka yang akil baligh, bulan suci Ramadhan juga menjadi ajang pembelajaran orang tua bagi anak-anaknya untuk memperkenalkan ibadah puasa dan mengajarkan anak-anak mereka lebih mendekatkan diri kepada Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala.
Di Indonesia kita sering mendengar puasa setengah hari bagi kalangan anak-anak kelas enam sekolah dasar ke bawah yang diajarkan para orang tua untuk mempersiapkan anak-anak agar siap menghadapi puasa di masa mendatang.
Akan tetapi bagaimana ibadah puasa yang dijalankan anak-anak korban perang di Suriah, Irak, Yaman, dan berbagai negara lainnya? Berikut dokumentasi puasa anak-anak disejumlah negara dunia. (Skynewsarabia/Ram)
