How many days until Eid al-Fitr 2027?
There are 117 days until Eid al-Fitr 1448 AH. The first day of Eid is expected on Tuesday, March 9, 2027, which is 1 Shawwal.
When is Eid al-Fitr 2027?
Eid al-Fitr is the first day of Shawwal, the day after Ramadan ends. In the Umm al-Qura calendar, 1 Shawwal 1448 AH falls on Tuesday, March 9, 2027.
The Shawwal crescent is looked for on the evening of 29 Ramadan. If it is seen, the next day is Eid. If not, Ramadan completes 30 days and Eid comes a day later. That is why the date stays "expected" right up to the night before.
Before the Eid prayer
Zakat al-Fitr is given before the Eid prayer, and it may be given a day or two early. If you pay it through a charity or an official platform, the practical deadline is the evening of Monday, March 8, 2027. The Eid prayer is held about fifteen minutes after sunrise, and the exact time differs from city to city.
How long is the Eid holiday?
Religiously, Eid is one day, 1 Shawwal. The public holiday is set by each country, announced a few weeks ahead, and often differs between the public and private sectors. Check the official announcement where you live.
