Ramadan 2020 - Revised Guidance
The month of Ramadan will begin on the evening of Thursday 23 April and end on the evening of Saturday 23 May. Based on the sighting of the new moon.
Ramadan involves a daily period of fasting for Muslims starting at sunrise and finishing at sunset over the month. This means abstaining from food, drink (including water) and smoking. While fasting is an important part of Ramadan, it is also a time of self-reflection and self-evaluation for Muslims.
