The possible dates for the beginning and end of Ramadan 2027 in Pakistan have emerged, with the holy month expected to begin on 8 or 9 February 2027, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon.
Ramadan, the ninth and holiest month of the Islamic calendar, is observed by Muslims around the world with religious devotion and fasting.
As the Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, Ramadan begins approximately 10 to 12 days earlier each year in the Gregorian or Solar calendar.
According to astronomical calculations and forecasts, the crescent moon marking the beginning of Ramadan in Pakistan could be sighted on 8 or 9 February 2027, with the first day of fasting expected around the same time.
The holy month is expected to last either 29 or 30 days, with Ramadan likely to end around 8 March 2027.
Eid-ul-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, could also provide an opportunity for an extended public holiday period across Pakistan.
However, the dates remain provisional and are subject to the sighting of the moon.
The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will make the official announcement regarding the start of Ramadan after receiving and verifying reports of the crescent moon sighting.
