Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Brazil
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 2 cities.
How Brazil decides
Brazil's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Brazil has no single national moon-sighting authority; mosques and associations such as FAMBRAS (Federação das Associações Muçulmanas do Brasil) confirm the start locally, generally aligning with the global Sunni majority date. The 2026 (1447) first day of fasting could not be verified from an in-country source; recorded as null rather than guessed.
