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.
