Ramadan 2027 in Rwanda
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 1 city.
How Rwanda decides
Rwanda's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
The Rwanda Muslim Community, under the Mufti of Rwanda (Sheikh Musa Sindayigaya), announced Ramadhan 1446 would begin on Saturday March 1, 2025 based on local sighting. A confirmed first day of fasting for 2026 could not be independently verified from available sources. Not verified for 1447.
