Ramadan begins on Tuesday based on the lunar calendar, but if the new moon is not physically seen on the night of the 12th, many orthodox observers won’t start fasting until the 14th. Every day for 30 days, Muslims who are able will begin their fast before sunrise with the traditional early morning meal called sehri, and break fast with a sunset meal known as iftar. The fast can last from 10 to 21 hours depending on where you live in the world. In most parts of the United States, it’s about 15 to 16 hours. (No, not even water)
