More about fasting during Ramadan
Fasting means no food, drink, or intimacy from dawn till dusk—but there are exceptions if you're sick, pregnant, elderly, or traveling.
Most people break their fast with dates and water following Prophet Muhammad's Sunnah before enjoying a meal together.
Ramadan typically wraps up in mid- to late-March, with the exact date (and Eid al-Fitr celebrations) determined by the sighting of the new moon.
