Hari Raya Puasa
179dWednesday, 10 March 2027
Aidilfitri marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. It is the larger of the two Hari Raya celebrations, and its date is confirmed by moon-sighting.
Hari Raya Haji
247dMonday, 17 May 2027
Aidiladha, the festival of sacrifice, marks the end of the Haj pilgrimage. Its date is set by the Islamic calendar and confirmed by moon-sighting.
Two public holidays in one working week
Hari Raya Haji falls on Monday 17 May 2027 and Vesak Day on Thursday 20 May, three days later. Three days of leave, on Tuesday 18, Wednesday 19 and Friday 21 May, covers Saturday 15 May to Sunday 23 May: nine days off for three days of annual leave. Across the eight gazetted years on this site, 2027 is the only one in which a second public holiday falls in the same working week as Hari Raya Haji, and it is the longest stretch any of them offers around that festival. If you are planning a long trip around Hari Raya Haji, this is the year to spend leave on.
Hari Raya Puasa falls on Wednesday 10 March 2027, three days before the MOE March school holidays open on 13 March (MOE, 2027 school terms). Parents get a midweek holiday, then a school break, rather than one continuous stretch. The two do not join up.
Ramadan 1448H should begin around 8 February 2027, roughly 30 days before Aidilfitri. Treat that as arithmetic rather than an announcement: MUIS confirms the month the evening before it begins, and the calculated start can move by a day.
2027 is also where the gazette stops. MOM publishes the public-holiday list about a year and a half ahead (MOM), so any Hari Raya date you see for 2028 or later is a calculation, not yet a public holiday.
How the 2027 dates sat in the calendar
| Hari Raya Puasa | Hari Raya Haji | |
|---|---|---|
| Date | Wednesday, 10 Mar | Monday, 17 May |
| Days off in a row, five-day week | 1 (10 Mar) | 3 (15 May to 17 May) |
| Nearest other public holiday | Good Friday, 16 days later | Vesak Day, 3 days later |
| Moved from 2026 | 11 days earlier | 10 days earlier |
The two fell 68 days apart in 2027. That interval is not fixed: Aidilfitri is 1 Syawal and Aidiladha is 10 Zulhijjah, and the two Islamic months in between can each run 29 or 30 days, so the gap moves between about 67 and 70 days. The year-to-year shift is the same arithmetic on a larger scale, and the guide to why the date keeps moving explains how MUIS fixes it.
Ramadan 2027
Ramadan, the month of fasting, runs for roughly 29 to 30 days before Hari Raya Puasa, so in 2027 it begins around 8 Feb and ends at Aidilfitri on 10 Mar.
That start is worked back from the gazetted Aidilfitri date, not gazetted itself. MUIS announces the confirmed start the evening before the month begins, so it can differ by a day. For daily sahur and iftar times, use a dedicated prayer-times source. The Ramadan page covers how the month is observed here.
