Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Turkmenistan
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 1 city.
How Turkmenistan decides
Turkmenistan follows a pre-calculated lunar calendar, so the start date is set by astronomical calculation rather than a moon sighting.
Turkmenistan's state media publishes very little detail on how the date is set; the Oraza Bayram (Eid) holiday dates are issued by presidential decree each year, but no named religious authority or announcement text could be located. The dates given here are calendar-aggregator figures, and the source itself flags the 2026 figure as provisional/uncertain rather than officially confirmed.
