Iftar Time Today: Ramadan 2026 Timings Across France, India and Karachi as Fast Days Shift

With Ramadan progressing and daylight hours changing after the winter solstice, many communities are checking iftar time today to plan fasting, prayer and family meals. Recent timetables show variation across regions: a France schedule sets the fast end on Feb. 23 at 6: 27 PM, India lists city-specific Sehri and Iftar times for Feb. 23, and Karachi timetables on Feb. 21 note different break times for competing traditions.

Iftar Time Today: Key City Schedules

Day-to-day shifts in sunrise and sunset mean the precise moment to break the fast moves later each day. The following items summarize the timetables published for selected dates in late February 2026.

  • France (Ramadan timetable for Feb. 23, sixth day): fast ends at 6: 27 PM.
  • India (Ramzan schedules for Feb. 23): Sehri and Iftar times vary by city; Kolkata is listed with an early Sehri start at 4: 51 AM and Mumbai is listed with an Iftar time of 6: 42 PM.
  • Karachi (Ramadan calendar for Feb. 21): Hanafi observers are scheduled to break the fast at 6: 31 PM, while Jafri-tradition observers are scheduled at 6: 41 PM.

Why Ramadan Timings Shift and What to Expect

Fasting in Ramadan begins at dawn with the Fajr prayer and ends at sunset with the Maghrib prayer. Because prayer and fasting times track the sun, the iftar time today and each successive day typically falls later than the previous day. Coverage notes that Ramadan 2026 falls after the winter solstice, so daily fasting windows are gradually lengthening in many places.

Practical implications of the shifting schedule include later evening meals and incremental adjustments to sleep and work routines. The regional examples above illustrate how the same date can yield different Iftar times across countries and even between traditions within the same city.

Practical Tips for Sehri and Iftar during Ramadan 2026

Guidance highlighted across the timetables suggests a few practical measures that can ease the fast and maintain well-being:

  • Set reliable reminders for Sehri and Iftar to match local timetables and the appropriate school of practice where relevant.
  • Prioritize hydrating, nutrient-rich meals at Sehri to support energy through the fasting day.
  • Confirm local prayer-timetable updates each morning, since times shift day by day and can differ between communities.

Where multiple traditions coexist in a city, communities are advised to follow the timetable aligned with their local religious guidance to avoid confusion. Those checking iftar time today should reference the schedule that matches their locality and practice.

Timetables are provisional and subject to change; readers are encouraged to verify local notices for the most current prayer and fasting times as Ramadan 2026 continues.
