Fasting (Saum) is the fourth pillar of Islam, during which Muslims abstain from eating, drinking, and other invalidating acts from dawn (Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib). While other religions also practice fasting, the Islamic fast has specific rules prohibiting all food and drink during the fasting hours. The question specifically refers to the Islamic practice where eating is completely prohibited while fasting.
Fasting in Islam is observed primarily during the holy month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It is obligatory upon every adult, sane, and able Muslim. The Quran states, "O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become righteous" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183). The fast begins at dawn with Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) and ends at sunset with Iftar.
