Ramadan 2027 in Kuwait
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 1 city.
How Kuwait decides
Kuwait's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Kuwait announced the same start date as Saudi Arabia in both 2025 and 2026 based on its own crescent-moon observation. Sources describe only 'authorities'; a specific committee name was not found.
