How Somalia decides
Somalia's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Somalia's Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs, under Minister Mukhtar Robow, officially declared Wednesday 2026-02-18 as the first day of Ramadan 1447 after the crescent was sighted in multiple regions. Ramadan 1446 began 2025-03-01, grouped with Libya and Djibouti.
