Iftar Time Today – Find Maghrib & Fast-Breaking Time

What Time Is Iftar Today?

The exact clock time for Iftar depends on where you are and the date you are checking. In Ramadan, Muslims fast from the beginning of Fajr until sunset. Iftar is therefore not fixed at a universal hour such as 6:00 PM or 7:00 PM; it follows the local sunset and Maghrib time.

Enter your city and country in the finder above to reach the available local schedule. This is especially important when travelling or when comparing cities in different time zones.

Is Iftar Time the Same as Maghrib Time?

For practical Ramadan planning, Iftar is associated with the beginning of Maghrib at sunset. Maghrib is one of the five daily prayers, while Iftar refers to breaking the fast. This is why Ramadan timetables commonly place the Iftar time alongside Maghrib.

If a local mosque or recognized Islamic authority publishes a timetable that differs slightly from an online calculation, follow the guidance appropriate to your community. A mosque's congregational prayer time can also be later than the beginning of the prayer period.

Why Iftar Time Changes Every Day

Sunset does not occur at the same clock time throughout the month. As the date changes, daylight length changes too. Your latitude, longitude and local time zone also affect the displayed time.

That means today's Iftar time may be a little earlier or later than yesterday's, and two cities can have noticeably different fast-breaking times on the same day. Always check the correct date and location.

Ramadan 2027 Iftar Time

Ramadan 2027 is expected in February 2027, subject to the Islamic lunar calendar and moon-sighting decisions. Daily Iftar times will change throughout the month, so an accurate Ramadan schedule should be location-specific rather than a single worldwide table.

For the broader monthly schedule, expected dates and important nights, visit the Ramadan Calendar 2027. When you need all five daily prayers, use the Ramadan 2027 Prayer Times page.

Iftar Time Near Me and City-Based Results

Searches such as “Iftar time near me” are really asking for a local result. A correct answer needs your location because sunset can differ even between cities in the same country.

The search tool on this page uses a city and country so that the result can be connected to the appropriate location page. For example, someone checking New York should use New York and United States rather than copying an Iftar schedule from London, Karachi, Dubai or Makkah.

How Iftar and Fasting Duration Are Connected

The daily fasting period begins at Fajr and ends at Maghrib. The time between those two points is the day's fasting duration. Because both dawn and sunset shift with location and season, fasting duration also varies around the world.

If you are planning the beginning of the fast as well as the end, use our Sehri and Suhoor Time guide for the pre-dawn side of the schedule.

How Iftar Time Is Calculated

Sunset can be determined astronomically from the date and geographic coordinates. Prayer-time services then use location, time-zone information and calculation settings to produce a daily timetable. Small differences can occur between services because of settings, rounding, elevation assumptions or local adjustments.

For background on commonly used prayer-time calculation conventions, see AlAdhan’s calculation methods overview. The Prayer-Time Methodology page explains how this website presents calculated and location-based information.

Calculated Iftar Time vs Local Mosque Timetable

An online calculation is useful for finding a location-based time, but local mosques may publish established Ramadan timetables for their communities. A difference of a few minutes does not automatically mean that one source is broken; it can result from calculation settings or local practice.

When precise religious timing matters, use the guidance of a trusted local authority or mosque. The website should be treated as a planning and information resource, not as a replacement for local religious guidance.

Preparing for Iftar During Ramadan

Checking the time in advance can make the end of the fast calmer and easier to manage. Prepare food and water before Maghrib, keep the correct local timetable accessible, and avoid relying on a remembered time from a previous day.

• Confirm that you selected the correct city and country.
• Check today's date rather than yesterday's timetable.
• Use Maghrib as the key prayer-time reference for Iftar.
• Allow for legitimate differences between calculation settings.
• Compare with trusted local guidance when precision matters.
• Recheck the schedule when travelling to another city.

Iftar, Dua and Ramadan Fasting Guidance

Iftar is not only a clock time; it is part of the daily rhythm of worship during Ramadan. If you are looking for related guidance, see the Iftar Dua resource and the Ramadan Fasting Rules guide.

For medical, personal or religious circumstances that affect whether or how a person should fast, seek appropriate professional or qualified religious guidance rather than relying only on a general timing page.

Before You Break the Fast

Make sure the displayed Iftar time belongs to your location and current date. If you have moved, are travelling, or are near a time-zone boundary, update the location rather than continuing to use an old timetable.

As Ramadan 2027 approaches, location pages and estimated calendar information can be updated while this page remains the central resource for finding Iftar time today and understanding its relationship with sunset and Maghrib.
