Traditional Muslim fasting month (7)

I believe the answer is:

ramadan

(Other definitions for ramadan that I've seen before include "Muslim period of fasting" , "The penitential ninth month of the Muslim year" , "Religious festival" , "Islamic month (of fasting)" , "Islam's holiest month" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
