Ramadan 2027 in Aix-en-Provence: sahur and iftar times

Sahur ends at Fajr. On the first day of fasting, Monday 8 February 2027, that is 06:43 in Aix-en-Provence, and on the last day it is 06:02. Fajr comes a little earlier each day, so check the table for the date you need.

Iftar is at Maghrib, when the sun has set. On the first day it is 17:59 and on the last day 18:35. Some French calendars add a few minutes after sunset as a margin.

The fast in Aix-en-Provence lasts from 11 h 16 min on the first day to 12 h 33 min on the last day, and it grows by about 3 minutes each day. Over the whole month that comes to about 345 hours.

By the Umm al-Qura calendar, Ramadan starts on Monday 8 February 2027, and Eid al-Fitr is expected on Tuesday 9 March 2027. Both can move by a day after the moon sighting. In France it is confirmed the evening before, on the Night of Doubt (Nuit du doute), so it can move by a day. Eid al-Fitr 2027

Mosques and apps use different angles for Fajr and Isha. These times use 12°, the most common in France. In Paris, 15° puts imsak 18 minutes earlier and 18° 36 minutes earlier, and some calendars add an imsak 10 minutes before Fajr as a margin. Many mosques announce their own times, often on Mawaqit. If yours does, follow it.

No. Showering, bathing and swimming do not break the fast, as long as you do not swallow water. Take care when you rinse your mouth and nose. Brushing your teeth is fine too, without swallowing.

Zakat al-fitr is a small gift of food, or its value, that every Muslim who can afford it gives for each person in the household before the Eid prayer, so people in need can celebrate too. Mosques and Muslim bodies in France announce the amount each year: the value of about 2.5 to 3 kilos of a staple food such as rice or flour. It is different from zakat, the yearly 2.5% on savings above the nisab. Zakat calculator
