The full Ramadan 2027 calendar for Leicester, United Kingdom: thirty rows running from 8 February 2027 to Tue, 9 Mar 2027. Expected boundaries for United Kingdom: a first fast on Monday 8 February 2027, subject to the crescent, and Eid al-Fitr around 9–10 March 2027. The shape of the month in Leicester: the fast begins at 11 hours 25 minutes on day 1 (Fajr 05:38, Maghrib 17:03) and by day 30 those bookends have moved to 04:39 and 17:58, a fast of 13 hours 19 minutes. The calculation point is Leicester (52.63, -1.13) and the method is Muslim World League (Europe/London) — treat the rows as exact for Leicester and as a close guide elsewhere in United Kingdom.
Each row of the Leicester table is one fast: begin it at Fajr (05:38 on day 1, drifting to 04:39 by day 30), end it at Maghrib, and let Sehri finish a few minutes before the Fajr figure as a precaution. The Iftar moment is the Maghrib figure — 17:03 on day 1, 17:58 on day 30 — when the fast is broken at the Iftar time, traditionally with dates and water before the Maghrib prayer. In Leicester that wait is 11 hours 25 minutes on the first day and 13 hours 19 minutes on the last. Watch the drift across the rows: across the month Fajr travels 59 minutes and Maghrib 55 minutes in Leicester, so a first-week printout is measurably wrong by the fourth week. The most charged nights of the month fall inside this table — the last ten nights begin at Maghrib on 27 February 2027, and Laylat al-Qadr is sought on the odd nights beginning at Maghrib on 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March, with the 27th night of Ramadan beginning at Maghrib on 5 March; in Leicester that night's fast has run from Fajr 04:47 to Maghrib 17:52.

The madhab selector on the live page exists for exactly one column. The Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools all begin the fast at Fajr and end it at Maghrib, so Sehri and Iftar in Leicester are the same 05:38 and 17:03 on day 1 for every Sunni worshipper. What differs is Asr: the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali calculation, printed here as 14:34 on day 1, begins when a shadow equals the object's length, while the Hanafi calculation, 15:12 on day 1, waits for twice the length — 38 minutes later in Leicester. A household in Leicester 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 Leicester, the live page carries a separate Jafari tab built from this same table. Applied to Leicester: day 1 Sehri 05:28 (Fajr 05:38 minus 10) and Iftar 17:15 (Maghrib 17:03 plus 12); day 30 Sehri 04:29 and Iftar 18:10. Only the fast's endpoints move — the prayer times in between stay exactly as the Muslim World League method calculates them for Leicester.
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 Leicester: the first is said quietly with the intention before Fajr (05:38 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 Leicester: the Muslim World League method, applied to Leicester itself (52.63, -1.13, Europe/London), 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 04:39, Maghrib 17:58 in Leicester — if it is not. If Eid is announced after 29 fasts in United Kingdom, the final row (Tue, 9 Mar 2027, Iftar 17:58 in Leicester) simply does not apply, and Iftar on the 29th day is followed by the night of Eid instead. 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 Muslim World League convention fixes the sun angles for Fajr and Isha used for Leicester, 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 Leicester: the month's fasts here span 11 hours 25 minutes to 13 hours 19 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. The exemptions, and the Fidya and Qaza that follow from them, are covered in the guides linked below; when in doubt, ask a scholar rather than abandoning the fast or harming your health. May Allah accept it from you and from us, and bless the month for Leicester.
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in Leicester, United Kingdom, with the month opening the night before — always subject to the crescent and to the announcement United Kingdom'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 Leicester is gradual — Fajr moves 59 minutes earlier in total — so no day's times change abruptly.
Sehri on the first day in Leicester must finish by Fajr 05:38 on Mon, 8 Feb 2027 — and that first fast ends at Maghrib 17:03. From that Fajr, nothing is eaten or drunk until Iftar — a fast of 11 hours 25 minutes. Fajr drifts 59 minutes earlier across the month in Leicester, ending at 04:39 on day 30, while Iftar moves to 17:58.
This calendar uses the Muslim World League method, the convention customary in United Kingdom, with times computed for Leicester (Europe/London, 52.63, -1.13). Under this method, day 1 in Leicester opens at Fajr 05:38 and closes at Maghrib 17:03. 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 Leicester, in the madhab you select, can be downloaded from the live version of this page.
Only Asr changes with the madhab in Leicester; Fajr (Sehri) and Maghrib (Iftar) are identical for everyone. Day 1 makes it concrete: Asr at 14:34 on the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali calculation, and at 15:12 on the Hanafi calculation, a difference of 38 minutes. The difference comes from the shadow rule: the first three schools begin Asr when an object's shadow equals its length (besides the noon shadow), while the Hanafi school waits until the shadow is twice the length. 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.
In Leicester the month peaks on day 30: 13 hours 19 minutes from Fajr 04:39 to Maghrib 17:58 (Tue, 9 Mar 2027). Day 1 lasts 11 hours 25 minutes and the last day 13 hours 19 minutes, with the shortest fast — day 1, 11 hours 25 minutes — in between. Because the month falls in late winter at Leicester's latitude (52.6), daylight is lengthening through Ramadan: each week the fast starts a little earlier and ends a little later than the week before.
On the Jafari fiqh convention used alongside this calendar, Sehri is taken 10 minutes before Fajr as a precaution and Iftar is taken 12 minutes after Maghrib. Day 1 in Leicester: Sehri 05:28, Iftar 17:15; day 30: Sehri 04:29, Iftar 18:10. Treat the Jafari times as the precautionary practice they are labelled as, and follow your own marja's guidance where it differs.
