Iftar Time Today: Ninth Day of Ramadan Sees Fast End at 6:31 PM on February 26
iftar time today falls on the ninth day of Ramadan 2026, and fasting on Thursday, February 26 will conclude at 6: 31 PM. That timing matters now because this year’s Ramadan follows the winter solstice, pushing sunset — and therefore the fast-breaking moment — a few minutes later each day.
Iftar Time Today and the Ninth Day (9th Roza)
On the ninth day of the lunar-month observance, described in some accounts as the 9th fast or Roza, Muslim practitioners will break their fast at the time given above for February 26. In India, community calendars note that Friday, February 27 will be observed as the 9th Roza in many places, reflecting the day-by-day progression of the month.
Ramadan 2026 and the Winter Solstice
Ramadan 2026 takes place after the winter solstice, which means days are getting longer and the duration of daily fasting gradually increases as the holy month progresses. The solar shifts that follow the solstice cause prayer times to move: the timetable shifts daily in sync with the sun, so iftar occurs a few minutes later each day. What makes this notable is that the seasonal context directly lengthens the daylight hours and thus the practical span of the fast for observant communities.
Fajr Prayer, Sunrise and the Maghrib Prayer
Fasting in Ramadan is framed by the daily prayer cycle. One description in available timetables states that Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset; another clarifies that fasting starts at dawn, marked by the Fajr prayer, and ends at sunset with the Maghrib prayer, the fourth daily prayer. Throughout the day, practitioners refrain from eating, drinking, or engaging in intimate relations.
Sehri and Iftar Timings in Mumbai, Delhi and Lucknow
Sehri (the pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (the fast-breaking meal) remain the pillars of the month, dedicated to prayer, reflection and community charity. Timings for Sehri and Iftar vary from city to city because of local solar timing; headlines highlight schedules for Indian centres including Mumbai, Delhi and Lucknow and more. Guides for Indian observances point readers toward the specific Sehri and Iftar time listings for February 27 in each city.
France’s Provisional Prayer Timetable
For France, a provisional Ramadan timetable has been published to help worshippers know the daily Iftar time during Ramadan 2026. That timetable presents the daily prayer schedule and the Iftar schedule; one entry notes the fast end at 6: 31 PM for the ninth day. Some timetables also include an editorial notation that Iftar is noted as "f tourism" in one listing, while others present the standard Iftar label.
With daily timetables shifting alongside the sun, communities are managing logistics for prayer, meals and charity across differing local timetables. The immediate effect of the seasonal change is measurable: sunset times move later each day, pushing iftar time later and lengthening the fasting day as Ramadan progresses.
