In the month of Ramadan, during the daytime, it is forbidden to eat, drink, smoke, perform conjugal duties, and so on. Only children, sick people, pregnant women, and those fighting at the front and traveling long distances are exempted from this. Fasting begins with a new moon's appearance in the month of Ramadan and lasts 29-30 days. The Holy Quran says: "Eat and drink until you can distinguish the white thread of dawn from the black one, and then fast until night."
