Understanding fasting timings during Ramadan
During Ramadan, the fast begins at Fajr, the dawn prayer, immediately after the Sehri meal concludes. From that moment until sunset, Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and fulfilling other physical needs as part of the spiritual discipline of fasting.
The fast is broken at Maghrib, the sunset prayer, when worshippers traditionally open their fast with dates and water before proceeding to the evening meal.

While the timings above serve as a general guide, Islamic scholars and mosques often advise worshippers to confirm the exact schedule locally. Minor variations may occur depending on calculation methods and geographic location, making local Ramadan timetables the most reliable reference for observing the fast accurately.
