Ramadhan 2026 – 1447

Salaam Alaykum 

We delayed the release of the Ramadhan calendar as teh sighting of the new moon for “EID” this year will be complicated. After numerous calls with scholars overseas and locally and taking utmost precaution we now can provide teh calendars and some additional notes that explains the reasoning behind the dates.

EID 2026 – DIFFICULTY OF SIGHTING 

 At this stage for Ayatullah Sistani followers – EID will most likely be Sunday 22nd March.
The sighting of the moon on and around the 20th of March will be very difficult, and even the Sydney Observatory has placed significant conditions on the sighting. (https://powerhouse.com.au/stories/sky-guide-february-2026#special-event) In light of the difficult sighting conditions and for the precaution we are expecting Eid to be on Sunday 22nd March 2026.

We have been advised that jurisprudentially the day that you’re not sure whether it is the last day of Ramadhan or Eid day, you should fast and complete the month 30 days. So, even if we are doubtful, still you are bound to fast on Saturday.

However, it is possible that the office of Ayatullah Sistani announces Saturday as Eid for the whole of Australia. because of the possibility of moonsighting in some parts of it, for two reasons:

  1. This has occurred previously.
  2. The Sydney observatory which suggests that on the evening of Fri. 20 March, the crescent may be visible in some very northern parts of NSW under perfect condition. https://powerhouse.com.au/stories/sky-guide-february-2026#special-event. Pleases, note that even the observatory doesn’t confirm, rather says ‘may be’ (that means no astronomical confirmation).

If someone informs the office of Ayatullah. Sistani that astronomers say the moon possibly is visible in some parts of Australia, it is possible that the office announces Saturday as Eid for the whole of Australia. We will advise as soon as we have information at hand. This difficult sighting situation does occur once every few years.
