Fasting is an obligation to every Muslim. Kids up to the age of 5 don't need to fast but they should begin trying to fast even if it's a half day up to the age of 6 or 7. Once they turn 7 1/2 / 8 years old they must fast.

It is not a real chalenge but rather a ritual worship. The Muslim in Ramadan has to keep fasting throughout the month. The fasting each day is during the day time from dawn to sunset. Fasting includes refraining from eating, drinking, smoking, and/or performing sexual intercourse. During the evening period from sunset until before dawn, every thing is allowed as in any normal day. Muslims are allowed to break fasting during travelling days or illness or any health reasons and to be compensated after Ramadan (and after the reasons for breaking fasting are no longer valid) by fasting equal number days. Allowed also not to fasting for old people or those who are not allowed permenantly to fasting due to health reasons and they should feed a poor a full day meal for each day not be fasted.
