Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Azerbaijan
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sehur and iftar times across 1 city.
How Azerbaijan decides
Azerbaijan follows a pre-calculated lunar calendar, so the start date is set by astronomical calculation rather than a moon sighting.
The Caucasus Muslims Office publishes a fixed prayer/fasting calendar for the year in advance rather than waiting on local sighting. Azerbaijan's religious body took part in the Organization of Turkic States' joint fatwa meeting in Samarkand that set February 19, 2026 for Ramadan 1447, alongside Turkey, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
