Ramadan 2027 expected to begin in early February

Astronomical calculations indicate that Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin in early February. Based on these estimates, the first day of the holy month is projected to fall on either February 7 or February 8, 2027, depending on the specific calculation used.

Official confirmation of the start date will depend on the lunar sighting process. In Egypt, the Dar al-Ifta is scheduled to conduct moon sighting observations on the evening of February 7, 2027 (29 Shaban 1448 AH). The final determination of whether the month will consist of 29 or 30 days will be announced following these official observations.

Additionally, astronomical projections suggest that Eid al-Fitr is expected to occur on Wednesday, March 10, 2027, though this remains subject to the sighting of the Shawwal crescent.
