Ramadan 2027: common questions
When is Ramadan 2027 expected to begin?
The first fasting day is currently expected on February 8, 2027. Ramadan is expected to begin at sunset the evening before. Local announcements may differ by a day.
Why can the date vary by country?
Communities may follow a local crescent sighting, another region’s sighting, or a published calendar. Weather and visibility also affect observation, so local religious authorities make the final announcement.
What does the city selector change?
It changes the countdown’s time zone and calculated sunset for February 7. It does not send your location anywhere, and it cannot predict the moon sighting.
