strict fast

The three are Muslims who observe Ramadan and began a strict fast from dawn until sunset daily starting March 22 and continuing through April 20.

Workers say the conditions are particularly difficult for Muslims celebrating Ramadan and observing a strict fast.

The holy men passed Lent among the Mongols; and, notwithstanding the fatigues they had passed through, observed a strict fast, taking, as their only food for the forty days, millet boiled in water, and drinking only melted snow.

From the evening of the ninth to the evening of the tenth day there was not only a cessation of business, but a strict fast was kept.
