“Ramadan, the ninth month on the Islamic calendar, is a holy time in which Muslims fast during daylight hours (sunrise to sunset), perform extended prayers, increase their charitable efforts and bring about introspection,” MLS said in a statement. “Observers of Ramadan refrain from consuming food and drinks during daylight hours. At sundown, individuals can break their fast and eat or drink again.”
