Detailed explanation-1: -Fasting during Ramadan means abstinence from all food or drink, including water and chewing gum, from dawn to sunset. It is recommended that before sunrise, Muslims eat a prefast meal known as suhur.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since the fast requires that nothing whatsoever is consumed in between dawn and dusk, Muslims are not allowed to drink even water during the day. As such, it is important for those who are fasting to stay hydrated during non-fasting hours to stay healthy.
Detailed explanation-3: -During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from eating any food, drinking any liquids, smoking cigarettes, and engaging in any sexual activity, from dawn to sunset. That includes taking medication (even if you swallow a pill dry, without drinking any water).
Detailed explanation-4: -What is Sawm? Sawm is the Arabic term used to describe the act of fasting. Passed the age of puberty, Muslims are required to fast during the month of Ramadan, which entails abstaining from food, drink, sexual relations and displeasing speech and behaviour from dawn until dusk.
Detailed explanation-5: -Fasting in the month of Ramadan is compulsory on every Muslim adult. The Arabic word sawm is used for fasting. The word sawm (plural siyam) literally means ‘to refrain’, but as an Islamic term, it means refraining from food, drinks and sexual activity from dawn to sunset.
