2. Sawm of the pious

In addition to abstaining from eating, drinking and having conjugal relationship, preventing all the parts of body from evils/sins is the Sawm of Khuas i.e. special people.

3. Sawm of the ascetic

Devoting yourself completely to the worship of Allah Almighty after preventing yourself from all the [worldly] activities is the Sawm of the ascetic. (Al-Jauhara-tun-Nayyirah, pp. 175; Faizan-e-Ramadan, pp. 90)
