Answer 1

1. FALSE - In Buddhism, wheel is the "wheel of law" or "wheel of dharma," but in Falun Gong, the "wheel" is the bodily center of one's energy.
2. FALSE - The Shari’a states that a man can divorce his wife by saying "I divorce you" in front of other male witnesses at three different times, usually over a period of three months. You may hear that a Muslim husband can say "I divorce you" three times in one moment for a divorce to be effective, but that is not usually correct.
3. TRUE - If there are children in a marriage, they are typically in the custody of the man after a divorce.
4. TRUE - Not a bit of food or drink may be taken for the entire daylight hours during fasting in Ramadan. Eating, drinking, smoking and sex are permissible in the morning when it is still dark and after sunset.
5. FALSE - Fasting in Ramadan is done in a humane way, as are all Muslim pillars. Infants and young children are excused from the fast, but many students in school observe it. The hunger produced can be a challenge to learning.
