Can a woman eat in public when she is on her menses during Ramadan?

No need to hide if you have a valid exemption, as long as you are not doing it in a way that offends others. fasting, ramadan, menses, exemption, public, manners https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3lNILf6bXQc
Personally, I don't see an issue with this. You're not doing it to deliberately offend anybody or to upset anybody. There are many reasons why someone can be exempt from fasting. Someone could be pregnant, could be breastfeeding, somebody could have medical conditions. So no need to specifically go and hide yourself away as long as you're not doing it in an offending way to anybody else around.
