Announcement by Mufti for the month of Ramadan 1447H/2026 for Singapore

17 February 2026

Mufti of Singapore announces that the first day of Ramadan 1447H/2026 falls on Thursday, 19 February 2026.

  1. According to astronomical calculations, the crescent of the month of Ramadan is not visible above Singapore's horizon at sunset this evening because the moon set 4 minutes earlier than the sun. This means that tomorrow marks the completion of the month of Syaaban at 30 days. Therefore, I am pleased to declare that the beginning of Ramadan for the year 1447H falls on the day after tomorrow, Thursday, 19 February 2026.

  1. I take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt greetings to the entire Muslim community in Singapore: Wishing you a blessed Ramadan, filled with blessings and the graciousness of Allah s.w.t.

  2. Let us seize this precious opportunity to strengthen our faith and devotion to Allah s.w.t. through steadfast worship, gratitude, graciousness and giving in our interactions with one another.

  3. May Allah s.w.t. accept all our acts of worship and good deeds during this most sacred and noble month.

    MUFTI OF SINGAPORE
