Ramadan 2027 in Yemen
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 1 city.
How Yemen decides
Yemen's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Yemeni authorities announced the same start date as Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states in both 2025 and 2026. A specific committee name was not found in available sources, and any difference between Houthi-controlled and internationally recognized administrations could not be verified.
