Ramadan 2027 in Ethiopia
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 1 city.
How Ethiopia decides
Ethiopia's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
The Ethiopian Islamic Affairs Supreme Council (EIASC), headquartered in Addis Ababa, is the recognized central body for Ethiopia's Muslim community and organizes Ramadan observances. Secondary calendar sites gave conflicting estimates for the actual first day of fasting (February 28 vs March 1 for 2025; February 18 vs February 19 for 2026), and no EIASC announcement confirming either date could be independently verified. Not verified.
