The entire period lasts for 29 or 30 days depending on the appearance of the full moon and it varies with different parts of the world. The respective mosques announce the beginning and end of the Ramadan month. Children, pregnant ladies, people with chronic illnesses are exempted from fasting. Those suffering from brief illnesses during the month of Ramadan should compensate later.

On that day, special prayers will be conducted throughout the night and the devotees will offer camels and goats which will be used for the suhur.
