This year, Ramadan falls between mid-February and mid-March. Here’s when the fast can be broken on the 23rd day, this Thursday, March 12, 2026, in France.

What time will the fast be broken on this 23rd day of Ramadan 2026? Every year, during this holy month in the Islamic lunar calendar, Muslims observe fasting from dawn to sunset. Throughout the day, they refrain from eating, drinking, or engaging in intimate relations.

The times for prayers—and, by extension, the moments to begin and break the fast—shift daily in sync with the sun. Consequently, iftar (or f tourism) occurs a few minutes later each day. Depending on the season, the length of the fasting day can stretch longer or become shorter. Fasting starts at dawn, marked by the Fajr prayer, and ends at sunset with the fourth daily prayer, the Maghrib prayer.

This year, Ramadan 2026 falls after the winter solstice, meaning the days are getting longer. As a result, the duration of the daily fast gradually increases throughout this sacred month for Muslims. So, what are the expected opening and breaking times for the fast on March 12, 2026? On the 23rd day of Ramadan, fasting will end at 6:48 PM.
