Once a Muslim reaches puberty, fasting during Ramadan becomes a religious obligation. However, fasting is exempted for individuals who are ill, traveling, pregnant, breastfeeding, or menstruating.
Note: The age of puberty can vary depending on individual factors. If a person exhibits signs of puberty before the general age range, fasting becomes obligatory for them.
