Eid ul Fitr 2027 will be likely to be held on Tuesday, 9 March or Wednesday, 10 March 2027, subject to the sighting of Shawwal crescent moon. It is impossible to give exact dates since the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar and the festival starts upon commencement of the month of Shawwal.
Some Islamic calendars show 1 Shawwal 1448 AH to be on Tuesday, 9 March 2027, while some UK holidays mark Wednesday, 10 March 2027 as the provisional date for Eid ul Fitr.
It is therefore advisable that Muslims adhere to the moon sighting statement issued by their mosques, Islamic body or organization.
When Is Eid ul Fitr 2027?
The expected date of Eid ul Fitr 2027 is:
- Expected Eid ul Fitr 2027: Tuesday, 9 March or Wednesday, 10 March 2027
- Islamic date: 1 Shawwal 1448 AH
- Day: Subject to moon sighting
The Islamic calendar begins from the sunset. This means that the night for Eid will commence after the last day of Ramadan. The first day of Eid will be the day when Eid prayers will take place.
Not all the calendars indicate the same date according to the Gregorian calendar. For instance, 1 Shawwal 1448 is listed by one Hijri calendar as 9 March 2027 while the UK calendar by Timeanddate indicates 10 March 2027 as the tentative Eid date.
When Will Ramadan 2027 End?
Ramadan 2027 is currently expected to begin around Monday, 8 February 2027. If Ramadan lasts 29 days, Eid could fall around 9 March; if it lasts 30 days, Eid could fall around 10 March.
Current calculated calendars list 8 February 2027 as 1 Ramadan 1448.
The final Ramadan and Eid dates will depend on the determination of the Shawwal crescent.
Why Two Possible Dates?
The Eid al-Fitr festival occurs at the end of the month of Ramadan, which is a month of fasting according to Islam. The festival starts as soon as the crescent of the moon is seen in the month of Shawwal.
According to astronomers, Ramadan in the year 2027 is predicted to last for 29 days. This means that the last day of fasting will be on Monday, March 8, while the festival will occur on Tuesday, March 9.
But in case there is no crescent seen in the evening, Ramadan will go up to 30 days.
Expected Ramadan 2027 Dates
| Event | Expected Date |
|---|---|
| Start of Ramadan 1448 | Around 8 February 2027 |
| Last days of Ramadan | Around 8–9 March 2027 |
| Eid ul Fitr | Around 9–10 March 2027 |
| Islamic date of Eid | 1 Shawwal 1448 AH |
These dates are provisional and may change following the relevant moon-sighting announcement.
What Is the First Day of Shawwal 2027?
The first day of Shawwal is 1 Shawwal 1448 AH, which is the day of Eid ul Fitr.
Calculated calendars currently place 1 Shawwal 1448 on 9 March 2027, although other calendars, including the current UK holiday calendar, give 10 March 2027 as the tentative Eid date.
The difference illustrates why the final Eid date should be confirmed locally rather than relying solely on a long-range calendar.
What Time Is Eid Prayer in 2027?
The Eid prayer is performed in the morning after sunrise and before midday.
The exact prayer time varies according to:
- Location
- Sunrise time
- Mosque
- Islamic centre
- Local prayer timetable
Therefore, there is no single Eid prayer time for all Muslims in the worldwide. Mosques normally publish their Eid prayer times shortly before Eid.
Why Does the Date of Eid Change Every Year?
The Islamic calendar is based on lunar months, which are shorter than the Gregorian calendar year.
As a result, Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr move approximately 10 to 11 days earlier each year on the Gregorian calendar.
This is why Eid ul Fitr can occur in different seasons over the years.
- Expected date: 9 or 10 March 2027
- Islamic date: 1 Shawwal 1448 AH
- Event: Eid ul Fitr
- Status: Tentative; subject to moon sighting
