Home / Ramadan Times / Gambia / Banjul
For Banjul, the table below prints every fasting day of Ramadan 1448 AH — giving the daily fasting times in Banjul for all 30 days of Ramadan 1448 AH, from 8 February 2027 to Tue, 9 Mar 2027. The month is expected to open on Monday 8 February 2027 — moon sighting permitting — and to close with Eid al-Fitr around 9–10 March 2027. Day 1 in Banjul runs from Fajr at 06:13 to Maghrib at 19:09 — a fast of 12 hours 56 minutes — Fajr drifts 12 minutes earlier and Maghrib 7 minutes earlier between the two ends of the table. Every time is computed for Banjul by the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method (Africa/Banjul). Elsewhere in Gambia, longitude shifts the minutes; a local mosque timetable outranks this city table wherever the two disagree.
Each row of the Banjul table is one fast: the fast begins at Fajr, so Sehri — the pre-dawn meal the Prophet ﷺ called a blessing — must finish by the Fajr time in the Sehri column, 06:13 on day 1 and 06:01 on day 30, and many families stop eating a few minutes earlier as a precaution. Between those two times nothing passes the lips; when the fast is broken at the Iftar time, traditionally with dates and water before the Maghrib prayer. In Banjul that wait is 12 hours 56 minutes on the first day and 13 hours 15 minutes on the last. The drift is the reason the table exists row by row: Fajr moves 12 minutes earlier in total and Maghrib 7 minutes earlier, a minute or two at a time, which is why a printed time from the first week should never be reused in the last. Inside these rows sit the odd nights of the last ten days — opening at Maghrib on 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March — when Laylat al-Qadr is sought; the 27th night opens at Maghrib on 5 March, which in Banjul is the 19:16 Iftar of Ramadan day 26's row, and its fast follows at Fajr 06:02.

The madhab selector on the live page exists for exactly one column. Sehri (Fajr) and Iftar (Maghrib) are shared by Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali alike — in Banjul that is 06:13 and 19:09 on the first day and 06:01 and 19:16 on the last. What differs is Asr: the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali calculation, printed here as 16:40 on day 1, begins when a shadow equals the object's length, while the Hanafi calculation, 17:32 on day 1, waits for twice the length — 52 minutes later in Banjul. On the live page, choosing your madhab re-labels the table and the PDF calendar to your Asr; this static table simply prints both, side by side, so the choice is visible rather than hidden.
Jafari (Shia) times are shown in their own tab on the live page, not mixed into the table above. In numbers for Banjul: Sehri moves from 06:13 to 06:03 and Iftar from 19:09 to 19:21 on the first day, drifting with the table to 05:51 and 19:28 by the last. Where your own marja's ruling differs from the 10/12-minute convention, follow that ruling; the tab exists to make the common practice easy to find, not to settle a point of taqlid.
Dua at Sehri (intention): Wa bi-sawmi ghadin nawytu min shahri Ramadan — "I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan." Dua at Iftar: Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa 'alayka tawakkaltu wa 'ala rizqika aftartu — "O Allah, I fasted for You, I believe in You, I trust in You, and I break my fast with the provision You have given." Keep both short duas by the table in Banjul: the first is said quietly with the intention before Fajr (06:13 on day 1), the second at the moment of Iftar, with dates and water, before the Maghrib prayer. In the last ten nights add the Laylat al-Qadr dua taught by the Prophet: Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa fa'fu 'anni — "O Allah, You are Pardoning and You love pardon, so pardon me."
About these times in Banjul: the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method, applied to Banjul itself (13.45, -16.58, Africa/Banjul), produces the whole table; it is not a national average and it is not copied from a neighbouring city. Mosques in Banjul may differ by a minute or two where they add a precaution at Fajr or Maghrib; that difference is deliberate, not an error, and the mosque you pray with is the timetable to follow on the day.
A word about the last row. Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days and is completed at 30 only if the Shawwal crescent is not sighted on the 29th evening. This table is printed with 30 days so that it covers either case: Printing both endings is the only honest way to publish the table in advance. Conversely, if your community begins Ramadan a day later than the expected 8 February 2027 start, shift every row by one day. Calculation methods also matter more at the edges of the day than in the middle: the Egyptian General Authority of Survey convention fixes the sun angles for Fajr and Isha used for Banjul, while Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib follow the sun directly, which is why timetables from different sources agree on Iftar to the minute but sometimes differ slightly at Fajr and Isha.
A practical closing note for Banjul: fasts of 12 hours 56 minutes at the start becoming 13 hours 15 minutes by the end. Where health, medication, pregnancy or travel enters the picture, the ruling may change entirely. The exemptions, and the Fidya and Qaza that follow from them, are covered in the guides linked below; when in doubt, ask a scholar rather than abandoning the fast or harming your health. May Allah accept it from you and from us, and bless the month for Banjul.
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in Banjul, Gambia, subject to the sighting of the new moon and the official announcement followed in Gambia. If the crescent is not sighted on the expected evening, shift every row by one day; the drift across the month in Banjul is gradual — Fajr moves 12 minutes earlier in total — so no day's times change abruptly.
The first Sehri deadline in Banjul is 06:13 in Banjul, and Iftar is at Maghrib 19:09. Eat and drink before that time; the fast then runs 12 hours 56 minutes until Maghrib. Fajr drifts 12 minutes earlier across the month in Banjul, ending at 06:01 on day 30, while Iftar moves to 19:16.
This calendar uses the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method, produces every time in this table for Banjul, in the Africa/Banjul zone. The method matters most at the day's edges — Fajr (06:13 on day 1) and Isha (20:20) — since Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib track the visible sun. Communities and mosques occasionally adjust by a minute or two for precaution, so treat your local mosque's timetable as final where it differs slightly. A branded PDF calendar for Banjul, in the madhab you select, can be downloaded from the live version of this page.
Only Asr changes with the madhab in Banjul; Fajr (Sehri) and Maghrib (Iftar) are identical for everyone. On day 1 the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali Asr is 16:40, while the Hanafi Asr is 17:32 — 52 minutes later. Both timings are classical and agreed within their schools — they rest on different readings of the shadow hadith, not on geography, so the gap in Banjul (52 minutes on day 1, 59 minutes on day 30) is a fiqh difference, not a calculation error. Follow the madhab you normally pray by, and use the same column all month so your Taraweeh and Iftar routine stays consistent.
The longest fast in this table is day 30 (Tue, 9 Mar 2027), at 13 hours 15 minutes — Fajr 06:01 to Maghrib 19:16. The shortest is day 1 at 12 hours 56 minutes, and day 1 runs 12 hours 56 minutes against day 30's 13 hours 15 minutes. If Ramadan completes 30 days where you are, the final evening's Maghrib is followed by the night of Eid; if the new moon is sighted a day earlier, Eid falls a day sooner and the final row is not used.
Jafari practice in Banjul is shown separately on the live page: stop eating 10 minutes before Fajr, and break the fast 12 minutes after Maghrib. For Banjul on day 1: Sehri 06:03 and Iftar 19:21. By day 30 those precautionary times have moved to 05:51 and 19:28. Nothing else in the table changes for Jafari readers: the adjustment touches only the start and end of the fast, and it is labelled as Jafari practice rather than mixed into the Sunni madhab columns.
