How is the date set in France?
The Islamic calendar follows the moon: each month begins with the appearance of the new crescent and lasts 29 or 30 days. The Hijri year is therefore about ten days shorter than the solar year, and Ramadan comes around eleven days earlier every year.
In France, the Grand Mosque of Paris gathers its religious committee on the evening before, the Night of Doubt, to announce the start and the end of the month. The French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM) publishes its own date, based on astronomical calculations. The two usually agree, but not always: in 2026, the first day of Ramadan was announced as Wednesday 18 February by the Grand Mosque of Paris and as Thursday 19 February by the CFCM.
The dates on this page are therefore forecasts, confirmed at the start of each month concerned: a one-day shift is still possible.
Getting ready for Eid
On the morning of Eid, it is customary to perform the full ablution, wear perfume and put on your finest clothes before the prayer. White remains the classic choice, but any clean, well-kept outfit is fitting.
Remember to order early: our qamis are prepared and shipped within 2 to 3 working days, then delivered in 5 to 10 working days depending on the destination. To be safe, order two to three weeks before Eid; every product page shows the estimated delivery date for your country.

When does Ramadan 2027 begin?
In France, Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027, the first day of fasting according to astronomical calculations. The date is confirmed the evening before, on the Night of Doubt; a one-day shift is still possible.
When is Eid al-Fitr 2027?
Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, is expected on Wednesday 10 March 2027 in France. If Ramadan lasts only 29 days, it will be celebrated the day before, on Tuesday 9 March.

Why does the date of Ramadan change every year?
The Islamic calendar is lunar: its twelve months of 29 or 30 days add up to about 354 days, some ten fewer than the solar year. Ramadan therefore comes around eleven days earlier every year: it began on 18 or 19 February in 2026, depending on the institution, and is expected to begin on 8 February in 2027.
When should I order my Eid outfit?
Two to three weeks before Eid: our orders are prepared and shipped within 2 to 3 working days, then delivered in 5 to 10 working days depending on the destination. Every product page shows the estimated delivery date for your country.
