Ramadan 2027 expected to begin on February 8 based on astronomical calculations

Astronomical calculations indicate that the first day of Ramadan 2027 (1448 AH) is expected to fall on Monday, February 8, 2027. This prediction is based on the lunar conjunction occurring on Saturday, February 6, 2027, at 5:47 PM Cairo time.

While these astronomical estimates provide a guide, the official start of the holy month in Egypt and other Arab countries depends on the physical sighting of the crescent moon. The official determination will be made by authorities, such as Dar al-Ifta, following the moon sighting observation scheduled for the evening of Sunday, February 7, 2027.

Depending on whether the month lasts 29 or 30 days, the first day of Eid al-Fitr is estimated to potentially fall on March 10, 2027. The timing of Ramadan shifts approximately 10 to 11 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar due to the difference between the lunar and solar years.
