When will the Ramadan 2027 moon be sighted?
The astronomical new moon is on Saturday 6 February 2027 at 15:56 GMT. On the evening of 6 February the moon is only about an hour old and cannot be seen. The crescent will be sought after sunset on Sunday 7 February, the 29th of Sha'ban, when it is about a day old. It may be seen in clear skies, but a young crescent is easy to miss.
Why do UK masjids sometimes start Ramadan on different days?
Islamic months begin with the sighting of the new crescent after sunset on the 29th, and if it is not seen the month completes 30 days, as the Prophet ﷺ taught. Masjids differ over whose sighting they accept, so when the crescent is hard to see the start or Eid can fall a day apart. Follow your local masjid and local sighting where possible.
When is Eid al-Fitr 2027?
