    During the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan, Muslims stop eating at the time of Fajr, which is the pre-dawn prayer and continue to fast until Maghrib, which is the evening prayer at sunset. So, they do not eat from Fajr until sunset, not until sunrise. The exact times for Fajr and Maghrib can vary depending on your location and the time of year.

    1. Fasting Time: Fasting in Ramadan starts at Fajr, which is the break of dawn. This is the same for both the Hanafi and Shia traditions.
    2. Ending Time: Fasting ends at Maghrib, which is at sunset. This timing is consistent for both the Hanafi and Shia traditions.
    3. Hanafi Tradition: In the Hanafi tradition, Iftar (breaking the fast) should be observed immediately at the time of Maghrib, corresponding to the actual sunset.
    4. Shia Tradition: In the Shia tradition, there is a slight delay in Iftar. Shia Muslims often wait a few minutes after the actual sunset before breaking their fast. This delay is known as “Iftar-e-Mustahabb” and is considered recommended.
    5. Surah Al-Baqarah (2:187): Here is the complete translation of Surah Al-Baqarah (2:187):

      “It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives [for sexual relations]. They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them. Allah knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He accepted your repentance and forgave you. So now, have relations with them and seek that which Allah has decreed for you. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the sunset. And do not have relations with them as long as you are staying for worship in the mosques. These are the limits [set by] Allah, so do not approach them. Thus does Allah make clear His verses to the people that they might become righteous.”

      This verse in the Quran provides guidance on fasting during Ramadan. It permits sexual relations during the night of fasting and emphasizes abstinence during the fasting hours of the day. It also underscores the importance of observing Allah’s limits and striving for righteousness through fasting.
