Ramadan 2027 Guides — Fasting, Zakat & the Blessed Month

Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027, subject to the sighting of the moon, and to end with Eid al-Fitr around 9–10 March 2027. This blog is ZakatSuite's complete written guide to the month: sixteen long-form articles that take each major topic — the dates themselves, the rules of the fast, the exemptions and what replaces them, the nights of worship, and the money duties of Fitrana and Zakat — and treat it properly, with the classical rulings, the points where scholars differ, and the practical steps that follow from them. Every guide is written to be read before you need it: the Fidya guide before Ramadan begins, the Laylat al-Qadr guide before the last ten nights, the Fitrana guide before Eid is upon you.

What the guides cover, in the order most readers need them: first, the calendar — when Ramadan 2027 starts and ends, how moon sighting decides it, and how the 30-day timetables on this site are calculated. Second, the fast itself — a beginner's walkthrough, a careful catalogue of what breaks the fast and what does not, the exemptions for illness, travel, pregnancy and age, and the health questions people ask every year. Third, the obligations that substitute or expiate — Fidya for fasts that cannot be recovered, Kaffarah for fasts deliberately broken, and the rules of Qaza for fasts owed. Fourth, the nights — Taraweeh, Laylat al-Qadr across the odd nights of the last ten days, Itikaf, and the duas of Sehri and Iftar. Finally, the giving — why so much Zakat is paid in Ramadan, the complete Fitrana rules, and the Eid al-Fitr guide that closes the month.

How to use these guides with the calculators and timetables

The guides and the tools on ZakatSuite are designed as two halves of one workflow. Read the guide to learn the ruling and the reasoning; then open the linked calculator or timetable to turn it into your own figures. The Fidya guide ends at the Fidya calculator, where the local daily rate you have just learned about is multiplied by your missed days. The timetable guide explains why Sehri is Fajr and Iftar is Maghrib, and the 30 country timetables give you those times for your capital for every day of the month. The Zakat-in-Ramadan guide sends you to the main calculator with live Nisab values, because the threshold that decides your duty moves with the gold and silver markets and a printed figure from last year is not good enough. Bookmark this page as the index: every article links onward to its tools, and the Ramadan hub gathers the countdown, key dates and all timetables in one place.
