Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Vietnam
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 2 cities.
How Vietnam decides
Practice varies across Vietnam: some communities rely on a local moon sighting, while others follow a calculation or Saudi Arabia's announcement.
Vietnam's small Cham Muslim minority is split between Cham Bani (a syncretic tradition where only clergy fast, and only for the first few days of the month) and Cham Islam/Sunni communities in An Giang and Ho Chi Minh City who observe the full month, generally timed with neighboring Southeast Asian countries. There is no single national Islamic authority, and exact start dates for 2025 and 2026 could not be independently verified. Not verified.
