Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Bulgaria
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 1 city.
How Bulgaria decides
Bulgaria follows a pre-calculated lunar calendar, so the start date is set by astronomical calculation rather than a moon sighting.
Bulgaria's Muslim minority (Turks, Pomaks) is served by a state-recognized Grand Mufti's Office, but a dedicated statement from that office was not found; the 2025 date comes from a calendar aggregator. A 1447 (2026) date could not be confirmed from a reliable source, so it is left null.
