This year, the holy Ramadan will be 29 or 30 days, how many hours of fasting is the maximum?

 

For Ramadan 2026, the month will last either 29 or 30 days, depending on the sighting of the new moon — that’s the usual way Islamic months are determined.

Maximum daily fasting hours depend entirely on the amount of daylight in your location because fasting is observed from dawn (just before Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib).

📌 Fasting Hours in Ramadan 2026

• In many parts of the world (including Bangladesh) — because Ramadan falls in late winter / early spring — fasting hours are moderate, not as long as in summer.

• According to regional estimates (such as in the UAE, which has similar latitude daylight patterns), the maximum fasting time during Ramadan 2026 could be about ~13 hours 25 minutes around the longest days of the month.

📌 What This Means for You

• If you’re in Bangladesh or nearby regions, the fast will likely be around 12¾ to 13½ hours daily at most. This will change slightly day-by-day as dawn and sunset times shift through the month.

• In higher-latitude countries (far north), daylight can be longer, so fasting durations could be over 14–16 hours. In some extreme northern regions (e.g., parts of Scandinavia or Greenland at certain times), estimates suggest fasting durations could approach 18+ hours, but these are special cases.
