Best Answer

From sunrise to sunset. This time varies with location and time of year. For example, fasting during winter is shorter than fasting during summer. Also, fasting near the equator is shorter than fasting near the poles. At extreme latitudes, sunrise and sunset can be months apart; it is impossible to fast for that long. Muslims use different estimations for prayer and fasting times at such places. Some fast for more than 20 hours.
