Ramadan 2026 in Macao

Ramadan 2026 is expected to start on February 18, 2026. Countries follow different Hijri authorities, so the start can differ by a day or two between them; the table on this page lists each authority's date.

Countries use different methods to fix the start of a lunar month. Saudi Arabia follows the Umm al-Qura calendar with official sighting announcements, Turkey's Diyanet uses astronomical calculation, and Pakistan's Ruet-e-Hilal committee relies on local moon sighting. These methods can give dates a day or two apart.

The fast runs from Fajr until Maghrib. Near the equator that is about 13 hours; at high northern latitudes in summer it can exceed 18 hours. Your city's prayer timetable shows the exact Fajr and Maghrib times.

Laylat al-Qadr is the night the Quran was first revealed, better than a thousand months (Quran 97:3). The Prophet told Muslims to seek it in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan (Sahih al-Bukhari 2017), and many observe the 27th night in particular.
