What is what time is iftar?

Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the daily fast during Ramadan, is timed to sunset. The exact time varies daily and depends on the location due to the changing position of the sun.

To find the precise time for Iftar in a specific location, you need to consult:

  • A local mosque: Mosques typically announce the time of Iftar through announcements or have it posted on their websites/notice boards.
  • Islamic calendars/apps: Many apps and websites (like Muslim Pro, Athan, etc.) provide accurate Iftar and Fajr (dawn) times based on your location. You need to input your city or GPS coordinates.
  • Online resources: Websites dedicated to Islamic information usually have Iftar time calculators or tables.

It's crucial to use a reliable source, as even a few minutes' difference can impact the observance of the fast.
