when is ramadan 2027
Ramadan in 2027 is expected to begin on the evening of Sunday, 7 February 2027, with the first full day of fasting on Monday, 8 February 2027, and to end at sunset on Monday, 8 March or Tuesday, 9 March 2027, depending on local moon-sighting and calculation methods.
Key dates for Ramadan 2027
- Likely first Taraweeh prayers: evening of Sunday, 7 February 2027.
- Likely first fasting day (1 Ramadan 1448 AH by many global calendars): Monday, 8 February 2027.
- Expected last fasting day: around Monday, 8 March or Tuesday, 9 March 2027 (29β30 days of fasting).
- Eid al-Fitr (end of Ramadan): expected the day after the last fast, but the exact date will depend on the new moon and your local Islamic authority.
Why dates can differ
- The Islamic calendar is lunar, so each month starts with the sighting of the new crescent moon, which can vary by location and by method (naked-eye sighting vs astronomical calculation).
- Some communities follow local moon-sighting only, while others follow regional or global announcements, so your exact start day might shift by one day from the general forecast.
How to plan practically
- Use the forecast dates (evening 7 February to around evening 8β9 March 2027) for travel, work and school planning.
- As Ramadan 2027 gets closer, double-check with:
- Your local mosque or Islamic centre.
- A trusted national or regional Islamic council website or app.
- Local prayer timetable apps that update by city.
For religious practice (fasting, Taraweeh, Eid), always follow the announcement of your own local scholars or mosque, as they have the final word for your area.
TL;DR: For βwhen is Ramadan 2027β: plan for fasting to start on Monday 8 February 2027 (after sunset on Sunday 7 February) and to run for about 29β30 days until early March, with exact dates confirmed locally closer to the time.
