How many days until Eid al-Adha 2027?
There are 185 days until Eid al-Adha 1448 AH. The day of sacrifice, 10 Dhu al-Hijjah, is expected on Sunday, May 16, 2027.
When is Eid al-Adha 2027?
Eid al-Adha is the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah, known as the Day of Sacrifice. In the Umm al-Qura calendar it falls this year on Sunday, May 16, 2027. The Day of Arafah comes the day before, on Saturday, May 15, 2027.
Unlike Eid al-Fitr, the date of Eid al-Adha is known about ten days in advance, because the Dhu al-Hijjah crescent is looked for at the end of Dhu al-Qadah. Once the start of the month is announced, the dates of Arafah and Eid are settled.
The days of Eid and Tashreeq
Eid is the 10th. It is followed by the three days of Tashreeq, the 11th, 12th and 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah. The time for the sacrifice begins after the Eid prayer and runs until sunset on the last day of Tashreeq, four days in all.
The first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah
Someone who intends to offer a sacrifice is advised not to cut their hair or nails from the start of Dhu al-Hijjah until the sacrifice is done. The ten days begin nine days before Eid, so count back nine days from the date above to find 1 Dhu al-Hijjah.

Where the dates come from Hijri dates are calculated with the Umm al-Qura calendar through UmmahAPI and cross-checked against the Umm al-Qura tables in the ICU library. Islamic months officially begin with the sighting of the crescent, so the observed date can differ by one day from country to country. How we calculate dates
