Ramadan breaking time
Breaking fast in Malaysia is Maghrib for your JAKIM zone — sunset on that date. Do not break fast at Google Maghrib if it is earlier. Skip this if you only need today's table.
When is breaking-fast time in Malaysia?
Breaking fast in Malaysia is Maghrib for your JAKIM zone — sunset on that date. Do not break fast at Google Maghrib if it is earlier. Skip this if you only need today's table.
Is breaking time the same as Maghrib?
Yes. Maghrib begins at sunset for your zone, and that is breaking time. Mosque iqamah may be a few minutes later — that is for congregation, not a second Maghrib.
Use the same zone's monthly or imsakiyah page all Ramadan. Do not switch to a holiday-coast zone if you still live in your home city.
Should I follow Google or JAKIM to break fast?
JAKIM. If Google shows Maghrib earlier, do not break fast before e-Solat Maghrib for your zone. Comparison: Google vs JAKIM.
Where is the official imsakiyah?
On your zone's monthly page here, and at e-solat.gov.my. Imsak is sahur; Maghrib is breaking time. Both shift almost every day.
Travellers between states must switch zones. Sabah/Sarawak is not WLY01. See Sabah and Sarawak and hilal sighting.
