The full Ramadan 2027 calendar for Lagos, Nigeria: thirty rows running from 8 February 2027 to Tue, 9 Mar 2027. Expected boundaries for Nigeria: a first fast on Monday 8 February 2027, subject to the crescent, and Eid al-Fitr around 9–10 March 2027. Day 1 in Lagos runs from Fajr at 05:47 to Maghrib at 18:57 — a fast of 13 hours 10 minutes — and ends at 13 hours 17 minutes on day 30 (Fajr 05:41, Maghrib 18:58). Every time is computed for Lagos by the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method (Africa/Lagos). Elsewhere in Nigeria, longitude shifts the minutes; a local mosque timetable outranks this city table wherever the two disagree.
Reading a row in Lagos: the fast begins at Fajr, so Sehri — the pre-dawn meal the Prophet ﷺ called a blessing — must finish by the Fajr time in the Sehri column, 05:47 on day 1 and 05:41 on day 30, and many families stop eating a few minutes earlier as a precaution. Between those two times nothing passes the lips; when the fast is broken at the Iftar time, traditionally with dates and water before the Maghrib prayer. In Lagos that wait is 13 hours 10 minutes on the first day and 13 hours 17 minutes on the last. Watch the drift across the rows: across the month Fajr travels 6 minutes and Maghrib 1 minutes in Lagos, so a first-week printout is measurably wrong by the fourth week. Inside these rows sit the odd nights of the last ten days — opening at Maghrib on 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March — when Laylat al-Qadr is sought; the 27th night opens at Maghrib on 5 March, which in Lagos is the 18:59 Iftar of Ramadan day 26's row, and its fast follows at Fajr 05:41.

Whichever madhab you follow in Lagos, your fast itself does not move. Fajr and Maghrib — the two ends of the fast — are not a madhab question in Lagos: all four schools fast from the same dawn to the same sunset. Asr is the difference: 16:22 on day 1 for Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali (shadow equal to length), 17:18 for Hanafi (shadow twice the length), a gap of 56 minutes that widens or narrows only slightly by day 30 (16:12 against 17:16, 64 minutes). A household in Lagos that mixes madhabs can therefore share one calendar honestly: one Sehri, one Iftar, and two Asr times, each person praying by their own school.
For Jafari readers in Lagos, the live page carries a separate Jafari tab built from this same table. Applied to Lagos: day 1 Sehri 05:37 (Fajr 05:47 minus 10) and Iftar 19:09 (Maghrib 18:57 plus 12); day 30 Sehri 05:31 and Iftar 19:10. The adjustment touches only the two ends of the fast; it does not move Dhuhr, Asr or Isha, and it is presented as Jafari fiqh practice so that no reader mistakes a precautionary time for the Fajr or Maghrib of the main method.
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 Lagos: the first is said quietly with the intention before Fajr (05:47 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."
How this Lagos calendar was calculated: every time is calculated for Lagos's coordinates (6.52, 3.38) in the Africa/Lagos time zone, using the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method — the convention customary for Nigeria. Mosques in Lagos may differ by a minute or two where they add a precaution at Fajr or Maghrib; that difference is deliberate, not an error, and the mosque you pray with is the timetable to follow on the day.
Why thirty rows when Ramadan may end at twenty-nine? Because the month is completed at 30 only when the Shawwal crescent stays unseen on the 29th evening. The table prints all thirty so both endings are covered: an Eid announced in Nigeria after 29 fasts retires the last row unused, and its 18:58 Iftar in Lagos never happens. Conversely, if your community begins Ramadan a day later than the expected 8 February 2027 start, shift every row by one day. Calculation methods also matter more at the edges of the day than in the middle: the Egyptian General Authority of Survey convention fixes the sun angles for Fajr and Isha used for Lagos, while Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib follow the sun directly, which is why timetables from different sources agree on Iftar to the minute but sometimes differ slightly at Fajr and Isha.
A practical closing note for Lagos: the fast in Lagos runs from 13 hours 10 minutes at its shortest (day 1) to 13 hours 17 minutes at its longest (day 25), and your own situation — illness, medication, pregnancy, travel — may carry a ruling of its own. Guides linked below work through the exemptions and what replaces a missed fast — Fidya or Qaza — and a scholar in Nigeria can apply them to your case. May Allah accept it from you and from us, and bless the month for Lagos.
The expected first fast in Lagos is Monday 8 February 2027, with the month opening the night before — always subject to the crescent and to the announcement Nigeria's authorities or communities follow. Should the start be announced a day later, shift every row by one day; the drift across the month in Lagos is gradual — Fajr moves 6 minutes earlier in total — so no day's times change abruptly.
Sehri on the first day in Lagos must finish by Fajr at 05:47 (Mon, 8 Feb 2027), and the fast is broken at Maghrib 18:57. That first fast lasts 13 hours 10 minutes. Across the thirty rows the Sehri deadline travels from 05:47 to 05:41, which is why the table prints every day separately.
Times here follow the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method for Lagos (Africa/Lagos), produces every time in this table for Lagos, in the Africa/Lagos zone. Under this method, day 1 in Lagos opens at Fajr 05:47 and closes at Maghrib 18:57. 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 Lagos, 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. Day 1 makes it concrete: Asr at 16:22 on the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali calculation, and at 17:18 on the Hanafi calculation, a difference of 56 minutes. 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. Pick the column of your own madhab on the live page and the whole table — and the PDF download — follows that choice.
Day 25 is the longest in Lagos: 13 hours 17 minutes between Fajr 05:42 and Maghrib 18:59. The shortest is day 1 at 13 hours 10 minutes, and day 1 runs 13 hours 10 minutes against day 30's 13 hours 17 minutes. If Ramadan completes 30 days where you are, the final evening's Maghrib is followed by the night of Eid; if the new moon is sighted a day earlier, Eid falls a day sooner and the final row is not used.
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. For Lagos on day 1: Sehri 05:37 and Iftar 19:09. By day 30 those precautionary times have moved to 05:31 and 19:10. The main table itself is unchanged — it prints the Fajr and Maghrib every fiqh starts from, and the Jafari figures are a clearly labelled adjustment to those two moments only; Asr, Dhuhr and Isha are not moved.
