Fasting is one of the important religious practices of Muslims, in which the individuals abstain from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset.

Rheumatic diseases are a major group of chronic diseases which can bring about numerous problems while fasting. The aim of this article is to review the impact of Islamic fasting on rheumatic patients, based on the scientific evidences.
