Howdy! Iā€™m adding a Muslim character to my story and had a quick question about outfits. LL has a severe lack of long skirts- Would it be alright to have a short skirt with leggings underneath?

Iā€™d post the outfits here but. Iā€™m still working on them.

Yes. Just not those pleated patterned skirts. Unless youā€™re making a Modest swimsuit, you can.

Itā€™s too short! Itā€™s like booty level and thatā€™s not acceptable to wear out in the public for regular wear even with leggings. I only see that kinds skirt with Burqinis so I only use it for swimming purposes.

I donā€™t know whether the Ramadan is a mandatory or not, but if it is, from what age do Muslims need to fast?

Itā€™s not mandatory, mainly because people have mental health issues and other reasons why they canā€™t do it. Its usually at the age of puberty they start to but Iā€™ll say the most reasonable is 13 or 14.

Definitely!

Itā€™s so sad when people force those to fast while theyā€™re struggling with mental health issues.

Weā€™re getting better at understanding. I really donā€™t see the need to force Ramadan down peopleā€™s throats. It isnā€™t right.

I agree! Itā€™s worse when they push that onto children and they can either be hospitalised or dead.

Itā€™s not like they donā€™t know.
