How will fasting be different this year?

During the holy month, Muslims wake up early to eat a pre-dawn meal which is known as suhoor and break their fast after sunset with a meal that is called iftar. During this time, the mosques host large iftars. These iftars are held especially for poor people.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, many countries this year have advised their citizens to avoid large gatherings. This year's suhoor and iftar will be individually celebrated by each family. All the congregational prayers are banned in several countries and many mosques have been temporarily closed.

In India, Muslims in the country are reminded to strictly follow social distancing during the fasting month of Ramadan especially in Mumbai where the cases of Coronavirus are daily increasing.
