The full Ramadan 2027 calendar for Johannesburg, South Africa: giving the daily fasting times in Johannesburg for all 30 days of Ramadan 1448 AH, from 8 February 2027 to Tue, 9 Mar 2027. Ramadan is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in South Africa, subject to the sighting of the new moon, and to end with Eid al-Fitr around 9–10 March 2027. Day 1 in Johannesburg runs from Fajr at 04:25 to Maghrib at 18:56 — a fast of 14 hours 31 minutes — and ends at 13 hours 43 minutes on day 30 (Fajr 04:48, Maghrib 18:31). Times are calculated for Johannesburg itself using the Muslim World League method (Africa/Johannesburg), so if you live elsewhere in South Africa your local times may differ by a few minutes — the further you are from Johannesburg, the more you should prefer your local mosque's published timetable.
Each row of the Johannesburg table is one fast: Sehri ends at the Fajr figure — 04:25 at the month's start, 04:48 at its end — and the fast, begun after the blessed pre-dawn meal taken just before that deadline, runs untouched until the Maghrib figure. Between those two times nothing passes the lips; and the fast it ends has lasted 14 hours 31 minutes growing or shrinking to 13 hours 43 minutes across the table. Break it, as the Sunnah teaches, with dates and water before praying. The drift is the reason the table exists row by row: across the month Fajr travels 23 minutes and Maghrib 25 minutes in Johannesburg, so a first-week printout is measurably wrong by the fourth week. Mark the table's last third: the odd nights beginning at Maghrib on 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March carry the search for Laylat al-Qadr, and in Johannesburg the 27th night — from Maghrib on 5 March — follows a day whose fast ran 04:46 to 18:34.

One calendar, four madhabs — and only one moving part. Fajr and Maghrib — the two ends of the fast — are not a madhab question in Johannesburg: all four schools fast from the same dawn to the same sunset. Asr is the difference: 15:53 on day 1 for Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali (shadow equal to length), 17:01 for Hanafi (shadow twice the length), a gap of 68 minutes that widens or narrows only slightly by day 30 (15:48 against 16:46, 58 minutes). On the live page, choosing your madhab re-labels the table and the PDF calendar to your Asr; this static table simply prints both, side by side, so the choice is visible rather than hidden.
The Jafari convention sits alongside this calendar as a clearly labelled adjustment. In numbers for Johannesburg: Sehri moves from 04:25 to 04:15 and Iftar from 18:56 to 19:08 on the first day, drifting with the table to 04:38 and 18:43 by the last. Where your own marja's ruling differs from the 10/12-minute convention, follow that ruling; the tab exists to make the common practice easy to find, not to settle a point of taqlid.
Dua at Sehri (intention): Wa bi-sawmi ghadin nawytu min shahri Ramadan — "I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan." Dua at Iftar: Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa 'alayka tawakkaltu wa 'ala rizqika aftartu — "O Allah, I fasted for You, I believe in You, I trust in You, and I break my fast with the provision You have given." Keep both short duas by the table in Johannesburg: the first is said quietly with the intention before Fajr (04:25 on day 1), the second at the moment of Iftar, with dates and water, before the Maghrib prayer. In the last ten nights add the Laylat al-Qadr dua taught by the Prophet: Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa fa'fu 'anni — "O Allah, You are Pardoning and You love pardon, so pardon me."
Method and honesty note for Johannesburg: the Muslim World League method, applied to Johannesburg itself (-26.20, 28.05, Africa/Johannesburg), produces the whole table; it is not a national average and it is not copied from a neighbouring city. Times are printed to the minute, as calculated; a one-minute precaution at Sehri and Iftar is a long-standing local practice in many communities, and your mosque's timetable — which may already include it — takes precedence in any close call.
The thirtieth row is insurance, not a promise. Ramadan closes at 29 days if the new crescent is sighted on that evening, and only runs to the Tue, 9 Mar 2027 row — Fajr 04:48, Maghrib 18:31 in Johannesburg — if it is not. If Eid is announced after 29 fasts in South Africa, the final row (Tue, 9 Mar 2027, Iftar 18:31 in Johannesburg) simply does not apply, and Iftar on the 29th day is followed by the night of Eid instead. If South Africa's start is announced a day later than 8 February 2027, the whole table shifts by one row — the times move with the dates. Method differences show up at the edges of the day — the Muslim World League Fajr of 04:25 and Isha of 20:14 on day 1 are convention, while Dhuhr (12:22), Asr and Maghrib are the sun itself, which is why rival tables agree on Iftar and quarrel politely over Sehri.
For workers on physical shifts in Johannesburg, plan around the month's shape: the month's fasts here span 13 hours 43 minutes to 14 hours 31 minutes. That is manageable for most healthy adults, but illness, medication, pregnancy and travel each carry their own ruling, and no timetable can see your circumstances. Guides linked below work through the exemptions and what replaces a missed fast — Fidya or Qaza — and a scholar in South Africa can apply them to your case. May Allah accept your fasting, your prayers and your charity throughout the month.
The expected first fast in Johannesburg is Monday 8 February 2027, subject to the sighting of the new moon and the official announcement followed in South Africa. Should the start be announced a day later, the month begins a day later and every date in this table shifts by one day — the times themselves, computed for Johannesburg, barely move between neighbouring days.
The first Sehri deadline in Johannesburg is at 04:25 (Mon, 8 Feb 2027), and the fast is broken at Maghrib 18:56. Eat and drink before that time; the fast then runs 14 hours 31 minutes until Maghrib. By the last day of the table Fajr has moved to 04:48 and Maghrib to 18:31, so check the row for each day rather than reusing the day-1 times.
This calendar uses the Muslim World League method, which is the convention customarily used for this part of South Africa. Fajr gives the Sehri end time and Maghrib gives Iftar; the method's sun angles are what fix Fajr at 04:25 and Isha at 20:14 on day 1, while Dhuhr (12:22) and Maghrib follow the sun directly. Communities and mosques occasionally adjust by a minute or two for precaution, so treat your local mosque's timetable as final where it differs slightly. A branded PDF calendar for Johannesburg, in the madhab you select, can be downloaded from the live version of this page.
The two Asr columns are the one place where the four Sunni madhabs differ on this calendar. In Johannesburg on day 1 that is 15:53 for Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali worshippers and 17:01 for Hanafi worshippers — 68 minutes apart. The Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position starts Asr when the shadow matches the object's height; the Hanafi position starts it when the shadow reaches twice the height, which is why the Hanafi time always falls later. If you pray in congregation, follow your mosque's column; the printed table keeps both so a household of mixed madhabs can still share one calendar.
Day 1 is the longest in Johannesburg: 14 hours 31 minutes between Fajr 04:25 and Maghrib 18:56. Day 1 lasts 14 hours 31 minutes and the last day 13 hours 43 minutes, with the shortest fast — day 30, 13 hours 43 minutes — in between. Because Johannesburg is in the southern hemisphere (latitude -26.2), Ramadan 2027 falls in late summer there: the days are long at the start of the month and shorten as it proceeds, which is the mirror image of the northern pattern.
The Jafari tab on this page applies the customary precaution: Sehri ends 10 minutes before the Fajr in the main table, and Iftar begins 12 minutes after Maghrib. On day 1 in Johannesburg that means Sehri by 04:15 (Fajr 04:25 minus 10 minutes) and Iftar at 19:08 (Maghrib 18:56 plus 12 minutes). Nothing else in the table changes for Jafari readers: the adjustment touches only the start and end of the fast, and it is labelled as Jafari practice rather than mixed into the Sunni madhab columns.
