Ramadan 2027 in Sierra Leone
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 1 city.
How Sierra Leone decides
Sierra Leone's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Sierra Leone's Ramadan 1446 start of 2025-03-01 is corroborated by regional moon-sighting roundups alongside Guinea, Mali and Nigeria. The exact 2026 (1447) date and the specific national announcing authority could not be confirmed from available sources. Not verified for start_1447 and authority.
