Every adult, healthy and free Muslim is obliged to fast for a whole month from dawn to sunset. It is the third foundation of Islam. The month of Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar, which sometimes has 29 and sometimes 30 days. Muslims fast in all seasons according to the lunar calendar. The year of the Muslim calendar is ten days shorter than the solar year, so Ramadan moves ten days each year.
