Ramadan fasting basics

Ramadan fasting from imsak/fajr until maghrib — times set by JAKIM for your zone.

Ramadan fasting is obligatory for able adult Muslims — from dawn (fajr) until sunset (Maghrib).

In Malaysia:

  • Imsak — ~10 minutes before Fajr; stop eating for sahur
  • Maghrib — breaking time, per JAKIM zone
  • 1 Ramadan is set by hilal sighting — follow official announcements

Use your zone's imsakiyah on this site or e-Solat. For fasting rulings (travel, illness, make-up), see i-Fiqh and your state Mufti office.
