It is obligatory for a sane person who has attained the age of puberty to fast during the month of Ramadan except if the person is travelling or is ill; or if a woman is in her monthly periods or is bleeding after the delivery of a child. The intention of fasting from Dawn to Dusk must be made beforehand. e.g. "I intend to fast tomorrow in the month of Ramadan to attain nearness to you Oh Allah, my Lord and Creator, I only fast for you." Fasting for Muslims is abstaining from all things which invalidate it. According to Shari'ah (Islamic Law) the following in validate a fast:
* eating
* drinking
* sexual intercourse
* to take liquid enema
* to allow dust, smoke or steam to enter into the throat
* to remain in the state of uncleanness until dawn
* to submerge ones' head under water to tell lies (by words, writing or sign) about Allah, His Prophets or Imams
* to vomit intentionally
* to become ill
The end of Ramadan is celebrated as Eid Al-Fitr one the 1st of Shawwal (the 1st day after the end of the month of Ramadan) by giving alms (zakat-al-fitr) to the needy, attending morning prayers (Salat-al-Eid) and a feast. Children receive presents on this day.
