Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Tanzania
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day daku and iftar times across 1 city.
How Tanzania decides
Tanzania's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
BAKWATA, Tanzania's national Muslim council, is the recognized body that announces Islamic month starts based on local moon sighting, and is the body Tanzanian media report on for Eid announcements. A specific confirmed first day of fasting for 2025 or 2026 could not be independently verified from available sources. Not verified.
