Muslims in Middle East Fast upto 17 Hours during Ramadan
Meanwhile, Muslims living the Scandinavian countries will have to fast for more than 20 hours.
In Norway, Finland and Sweden fasting period will exceed 20 hours, as the sun sets only for few minutes.
In cities like Kiruna, the northernmost town in Sweden, situated in the province of Lapland, people experience little or no sundown during the summer months.
Some Muslims comply with the rules of geography and fast long hours while others comply with the fasting hours in the City of Mecca or follow the nearest Muslim country, particularly Turkey.
In other parts of the world, fasting hours will range from 10 hours in Latin American states and 21 hours in North Europe.
In some countries, the number of fasting hour varies from one region to another in the country.
The times and dates of Ramadan and fasting vary each year as they are determined by the lunar cycle – that is moonsighting.
