The Ramadan began on Monday, March 11, 2024 in France. Throughout this holy month, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset. Every day, the time for breaking the fast, called Ftour or Iftar, is shifted by a few minutes. Here is the time when fasting can be broken on Wednesday, March 20, 2024.
Ramadan is a holy month in the Hijri calendar. Every year, during this period, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, as it is one of the five pillars of Islam. During the day, practitioners abstain from drinking, eating, or engaging in intimate relations. Fasting begins at dawn, at the time of the morning prayer (Salât al-Fajr) and ends at dusk, marked by the fourth prayer of the day, the prayer of al-maghrib.
Just as the dates of Ramadan vary by a few days each year due to the fact that the Hijri calendar is based on lunar cycles (unlike the Gregorian calendar), prayer times (and by extension, the start and end of fasting) change each day based on the sun. Therefore, the time for Ftour (or Iftar) shifts each day by a few minutes. Depending on the time of year, the duration of fasting in a day can either lengthen or shorten.
This year, Ramadan 2024 takes place after the winter solstice, so the days are getting longer, and the daily fasting time also increases as the month progresses. What time is fasting expected to start and end on Wednesday, March 20, 2024? For the 10th day of Ramadan, fasting will begin at 5:25 am and end at 7:07 pm.
