Fasting/Sawm/Roza

Fasting is also known as Sawm and Roza. It is a key topic in competitive exams, particularly those focused on Islamic Studies. Fasting-related MCQs, conducted by FPSC, SPSC, PPSC, KPPSC, BPSC, STS, NTS and others, assess candidates’ understanding of the significance, rules, benefits, and history of fasting during the month of Ramadan. These questions evaluate knowledge across various aspects, including the conditions for fasting, exceptions, and the spiritual and social importance of this act of worship. Mastery of Fasting MCQs with other topics such as Hajj, Tawhid, Zakat and others, is essential for candidates, as it ensures a solid grasp of religious practices and aids in answering practical questions about the implementation of fasting in different scenarios. As a result, our team has compiled a list of MCQs related to fasting that have been asked in previous competitive exams or could appear in upcoming ones. The list is provided below:
