Ramadan 2027 times in Charlotte: imsak and iftar from day 1 to day 29
In Charlotte, Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027, with the first tarawih prayer on the Sunday evening, subject to the sighting of the crescent. On day 1, imsak is at 05:41 and iftar at 17:59, so the fast lasts 12 h 18. By Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak has moved to 05:27 and iftar to 18:12, for a fast of 12 h 45. On Monday 8 March, day 29, imsak falls at 05:10, iftar at 18:25 and the fast reaches 13 h 15.
What the timetable shows in Charlotte from imsak to isha
Each line gives, in order, imsak, fajr, sunrise, iftar and isha. For Charlotte, day 1 gives fajr at 05:51, sunrise at 07:17 and isha at 19:20, while day 29 gives fajr at 05:20, sunrise at 06:44 and isha at 19:44. Over the month, the fast here gains 57 minutes: 31 because imsak comes earlier and 26 because iftar comes later.
How Charlotte compares with New York
Because Charlotte and New York are in different latitudes, the sensible comparison is the number of hours between imsak and iftar and never the time on the clock. On day 1, the fast lasts 12 h 18 in Charlotte against 12 h 06 in New York, which is 12 minutes longer than in New York. On day 15 it is 12 h 45 against 12 h 40, 5 minutes longer than in New York, and on day 29 it is 13 h 15 against 13 h 17, 2 minutes shorter than in New York.
Between day 1 and day 29 the fast grows by 57 minutes in Charlotte and by 71 minutes in New York. Charlotte lies at about 35 degrees north, well south of New York, so the days are a little longer in February and the fast grows less from week to week.
Why check the mosque calendar in Charlotte
The method behind the figures is the Muslim World League one, with fajr at 18 degrees, isha at 17 degrees and imsak set ten minutes ahead of fajr. In North Carolina, as elsewhere in the country, a mosque may follow a calculated calendar or its own moon sighting, and its angles or safety margin can move the printed times by a few minutes. Charlotte has grown quickly in recent decades and its mosques are spread across the whole urban area, so a calendar from the one you attend is the safest guide.
Charlotte during the fasting month
Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina, in the Piedmont region between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic coast, near the Catawba River and Lake Norman. Known as the Queen City, it is one of the main banking centres of the United States. Winters are mild, with February afternoons often in the 50s Fahrenheit, cold nights and a little snow or freezing rain once in a while. March brings the first spring flowers.
Offices, banks and the daily commute in Charlotte
Many residents work in banking, finance, energy and healthcare, in the towers of Uptown or in the offices along the suburban corridors. Office hours are fairly regular, which helps to plan the fast, and a lunch hour spent in a quiet room or outdoors is easy to organise. Traffic on the interstates builds up in the afternoon, so leave on time to be at home when iftar comes.
Iftar and weekend gatherings
Families from South Asia, the Middle East, West Africa and the Balkans all live in the area, and community iftars reflect that mix, with samosas, dates, rice dishes and soups on shared tables. Weekend dinners at the mosques are popular and fill quickly, so arrive early. The mild evenings of late February are suited to a walk after tarawih in the residential neighbourhoods.
All dates mentioned remain expected ones, subject to the moon. In Charlotte, the first fast should be on Monday 8 February 2027, the 27th night should begin on the evening of Friday 5 March, and Eid al-Fitr should fall on Tuesday 9 March if the month has 29 days, or on Wednesday 10 March otherwise. North Carolina keeps standard time until the clocks go forward on Sunday 14 March, when Eid has already passed. A few simple habits help:
- Leave the office early to avoid traffic
- Bring a dish to share at community iftars
- Pack a sweater for cool nights
- Arrange tarawih transport with a neighbour
Which calendar and which routine should you follow in Charlotte?
The calendar to follow in Charlotte is the one used by the mosque where you pray, because it gives the community a common start and a common Eid. The timetable is a calculated aid for planning, with a fast of 12 h 18 on day 1 and 13 h 15 on day 29. Where your mosque begins another day or prefers different angles, apply the same difference to every line and continue.
How long is the fast in the middle of Ramadan in Charlotte?
On Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak is at 05:27 and iftar at 18:12, so the fast lasts 12 h 45 in Charlotte, a little more than at the start and a little less than at the end. Fajr is at 05:37, sunrise at 07:02 and isha at 19:32. Beyond mid-month, arrange meals before imsak and your sleep around the tarawih prayers to fit a fast of that length.
Is Eid al-Fitr a day off in Charlotte and how do you manage work or school?
Eid al-Fitr is not a federal holiday in Charlotte, and local schools do not close for it, so request time off early. Many employers in the banking and healthcare sectors have a diversity calendar or a flexible leave policy, and it is worth asking human resources. Students should tell their teachers before the end of February so that the absence is excused.
