The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 1 city.
How Bahrain decides
Bahrain's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Bahrain announced the same start date as Saudi Arabia in both 2025 and 2026 after its own crescent-moon verification. Sources describe only 'official authorities'; a specific committee name was not found.
