Ramadan Fasting Hours: Countries With Over 17 Hours Of Fasting This Year
As Muslims prepare for the holy month of Ramadan, fasting during daylight hours is one of the five pillars of Islam. The duration of fasting varies across different parts of the world, with the number of hours dependent on sunrise and sunset times. Healthy Muslims are expected to fast from puberty, but those who are unwell, traveling, or menstruating are exempt from the fast.
Countries that are closer to the equator have shorter fasting hours compared to those farther away, where the difference between day and night is greater. For instance, in places like Nuuk, Greenland, and Reykjavik, Iceland, the fasting time is 18 hours. In contrast, the shortest fasting hours are observed in cities like Singapore, Nairobi, and Luanda, where the fast lasts for 13 hours.
Other cities with 14-hour fasting times include Tehran, Baghdad, and Cairo. Meanwhile, places like London, Hong Kong, and Muscat observe 16-hour fasts. Muslims in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and Doha, Qatar, have 14-hour fasting hours, while Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Montevideo, Uruguay, have a 12-hour fast.
