when can you eat during ramadan

You can eat during Ramadan only at night: from sunset until just before dawn.

Quick Scoop

• You stop eating when dawn (Fajr) begins, and you start again when the sun sets (Maghrib).

• The main meals are:
  • Suhoor: pre‑dawn meal, eaten right before Fajr.

* Iftar: meal to break the fast at sunset, usually right at Maghrib.

• During the day (from dawn to sunset), you don’t eat or drink anything at all if you’re fasting.

• Between iftar and suhoor you can eat and drink freely (within normal Islamic dietary rules, like only halal food and no alcohol).

A simple picture in words

• Think of the fast like a daily “off switch” for eating that turns on at dawn and turns off at sunset.
• All your food and drink for the day has to fit into the window between sunset and the next dawn.
