Ramadan 2027 in Burkina Faso
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 1 city.
How Burkina Faso decides
Burkina Faso's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
The Fédération des Associations Islamiques du Burkina (FAIB) announced that the crescent was not sighted on 2026-02-17, so Sha'ban was completed at 30 days and Ramadan 1447 began 2026-02-19. Ramadan 1446 began 2025-03-01, consistent with Eid al-Fitr falling on Monday 2025-03-31.
