The ninth month of the Islamic calendar (7)

I believe the answer is:

ramadan

(Other definitions for ramadan that I've seen before include "Month of fasting from dawn to dusk" , "The penitential ninth month of the Muslim year" , "Muslim month of fasting from sunrise to sunset" , "Islam holy month" , "Muslims observe this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
