Ramadan is a special month for Muslims where they abstain from food, pleasures and engage in charity.

Different schools of thought have opinions on what breaks a Muslim's fast and what doesn't, but they all agree that eating, drinking and vomiting intentional breaks fasting. Sexual relations also break their fast because it leads to the secretion of substances. However, anything done unintentionally does not break a fast because it is believed that Allah will forgive.

Here are some definite ‘don’ts’ when it comes to fasting during Ramadan.
