Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Russia
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sukhur and iftar times across 3 cities.
How Russia decides
Practice varies across Russia: some communities rely on a local moon sighting, while others follow a calculation or Saudi Arabia's announcement.
North Caucasian muftiates (Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia) sometimes declare a start date a day apart from the central Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia in Moscow; in 1446 all of them converged on March 1, 2025, which is recorded here as canonical. Tatarstan's Muslim Spiritual Board also observed March 1, 2025, with the first fast at dawn.
