Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Indonesia
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 7 cities.
How Indonesia decides
Practice varies across Indonesia: some communities rely on a local moon sighting, while others follow a calculation or Saudi Arabia's announcement.
Indonesia's Ministry of Religious Affairs holds a Sidang Isbat (determination session) combining hisab (calculation) and rukyat (sighting) each month; Muhammadiyah separately uses pure calculation and sometimes differs by a day. The government set Ramadan's start as March 1, 2025 and February 19, 2026.
