Frequently Asked Questions
When does Ramadan 2027 start?
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin around 8 February 2027. The exact day depends on moon sighting or the calculation method used in your country, so confirm with your local mosque.
When is Laylat al-Qadr?
It is sought in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan. No night is fixed by authentic evidence, so increase worship across all of them.
When must zakat al-fitr be paid?
Before the Eid prayer. Many scholars allow paying it a day or two earlier. See the calculator for the amount.
Can I fast if I am ill, travelling, pregnant or nursing?
Islam gives concessions in these cases, usually with a make-up fast or a fidya depending on the situation. Ask a qualified scholar about your circumstances, and speak to your doctor about medical risks.
What is the best way to prepare in Sha’ban?
Fast a few voluntary days, read a little Qur’an daily, fix your sleep, and set one realistic goal for the month.
