Fasting is only obligatory for healthy adult Muslims, anyone who is suffering from an illness, travelling, elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic, chronically ill or menstruating are exempt from the practice.
The fasting period, during which Muslims are not allowed to eat or drink, is from dawn to sunset and Muslims engage in increased prayer activity.
Muslims often try and practice an increased self-discipline during the month of Ramadan.
In 2018 it starts on the evening of May 15 and ends in the evening of June 14.
