My helper wants to fast

My helper is from indonesia and today she asked if she can start fasting tomorrow. Her agreement with her agency was that she would not fast while working here. Her main duties are housework, laundry and cooking. i am concerned that she would not be able to take it. She is my first helper. Anyone here have domestic helpers who are fasting? or not fasting? Any advice?

As a Muslim, I’ve fasted while doing intensive physical activity including running, rock climbing & lifting weights. Many of our NS boys fast all through their training too. If she’s been fasting all her life, she’ll be able to take it and it’s really her decision to decide if she can’t take the strain physically. It’s good that you’re asking ahead instead of being a dictator about it.
