Ramadan 1447 AH – London, UK
(Fiqah-e-Jafria Timetable)
Sehri and Iftar According to Fiqah-e-Jafria
According to Jaʿfari jurisprudence, Sehri must end before Fajr begins, and Iftar should be performed after sunset when Maghrib time is certain. These precautions ensure the validity of the fast.
Sehri is highly recommended even if only water is consumed, while Iftar is traditionally opened with dates and water, followed by Maghrib prayer.
Final Note
Ramadan calendars may differ slightly depending on:
- Moon sighting
- Calculation method
- Local mosque guidance
- Marja rulings
Muslims in London should always follow their local Shia mosque or marja office timetable for accuracy.
How Fiqah e Jafria Sehri and Iftar Times Are Calculated
Shia (Fiqah e Jafria) timetables differ slightly from other Ramadan calendars in London. Sehri ends at true dawn (Fajr), when the first light spreads across the horizon, and many people stop eating a few minutes earlier as a precaution. Iftar is at Maghrib, which in Shia jurisprudence is when the redness in the eastern sky disappears after sunset. This is usually about 10 to 15 minutes after sunset, so Shia iftar times are a little later than sunset times on general calendars.
Tips for Using This Timetable
- Times change by a minute or two each day, so check the date carefully.
- If you live outside the city centre, allow for a small difference of one to three minutes.
- Follow the announcement of your local Shia mosque or imambargah for the start of Ramadan and Eid, since these depend on moon sighting.
- Recite the dua for each day of the month from our Ramadan daily duas page.
