CWE-CWR-29 Compassion, Welfare & Environment Community Welfare & Relief CORE Excellence v2.9.7

Ramadan Observance Support

Evaluates the organization's embodiment of Raḥmah (mercy) by actively supporting fasting stakeholders, including staff, volunteers, and service users. This fosters a compassionate environment, sustains well-being and operational effectiveness, and upholds the spiritual objectives of Ṣawm (fasting) while safeguarding health, safety, and inclusion through reasonable adjustments and risk controls. Rooted in the principle of Rafʿ al-Ḥaraj (removal of hardship) and the Maqāṣid (objectives) of preserving both faith and life, this approach ensures religious devotion does not cause undue physical burden.
