How Fiqah e Jafria Sehri and Iftar Times Are Calculated
Shia (Fiqah e Jafria) timetables differ slightly from other Ramadan calendars in Manchester. 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.
