During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims typically fast from sunrise to sunset — with fasting lengths varying depending on where you live.
But for Muslims who live in the land of the “Midnight Sun,” a small region north of the Arctic Circle where the sun remains visible at midnight or all day, fasting can be particularly challenging, says Muhammad Asif Mirza. Mirza, vice-chair at the Islamic Center in Yellowknife in Canada.
“We’re currently experiencing 24/7 sunlight until mid-August,” Mirza told ABC News today. “So, according to Muslim scholars, we have two options in this scenario. You can either follow the times of sunrise and sunset of the closest biggest city to you or follow the time of Mecca, which is in Saudi Arabia.”
