Ramadan Mubarak! Iftar Timing Question

Assalamu Alaikum! Ramadan Mubarak to all! I’m hoping someone can help clear something up for me. I’m trying to figure out the right time for Iftar. I heard some scholars mention that Shia Muslims observe a slightly later time, often around 10 minutes after Sunnis break their fast. Personally, I don’t follow a specific sect; I just focus on praying five times a day and striving to do good deeds. But this difference in timing has me confused. Could anyone share some insight on the more Islamic approach to breaking the fast? JazakAllah Khair in advance for your help!

My local imam says to break fast right at sunset. Don't overcomplicate it - focus on the spirit of Ramadan.

Shia here. We do wait a bit longer after sunset to be sure. But the main thing is your intention, not the exact minute. Allah knows best.

Good question. I'd say stick with your community's timing to maintain unity during this blessed month.

Ramadan Mubarak! Honestly bro, I just follow the local mosque's timetable. They've got scholars checking this stuff so we don't have to stress.
