Ramadan timetable 2027 in Malang: calculated times
In Malang, the Ramadan timetable 2027 consists of two times to know each day: imsak, when the pre-dawn meal must end, and iftar, when the fast is broken at sunset. On Monday 8 February, the expected first day, imsak falls at 04:09 and iftar at 17:56.
Ramadan 2027 should begin in Malang on Monday 8 February, with imsak at 04:09 and iftar at 17:56. The first fast lasts 13 h 47 min, a figure that drops to about thirteen and a half hours by the end of the month.

Malang's opening schedule
On day 1 the table above shows fajr at 04:19, sunrise at 05:31 and isha at 19:04. Imsak, ten minutes before fajr, is the signal most East Javanese families use to stop eating, even though fajr is the strict limit.
On 22 February iftar comes at 17:52 after a fast starting at 04:13. By 8 March, the 29th day, the window is 04:14 to 17:46, giving 13 h 32 min, fifteen minutes less than the first fast.
Earliest sunset among the Java cities here
Malang lies further east than Jakarta, Bandung or Yogyakarta, yet uses the same Western Indonesian Time. Its iftar at 17:56 is twenty-one minutes earlier than Jakarta's 18:17 and only two minutes later than Surabaya's 17:54, its larger neighbour.
A cooler Ramadan in the highlands
Set on a plateau ringed by volcanoes, Malang is noticeably cooler than coastal Surabaya, especially at night and at dawn. February is in the rainy season, with frequent afternoon showers, which makes fasting less draining than in the lowland heat.
Method behind these times
Times are calculated with the Muslim World League angles, 18 degrees for fajr and 17 for isha. The Ministry of Religious Affairs and East Java mosques publish their own imsakiyah tables, which can differ by a few minutes from these figures.
From isbat to Lebaran: the 2027 calendar
Indonesia's Ministry of Religious Affairs announces the start of Ramadan after its isbat session on 29 Sha'ban, expected on Sunday 7 February 2027. Nahdlatul Ulama, strongly rooted in East Java, relies on sighting the crescent, while Muhammadiyah uses calculation.
If the crescent is accepted, tarawih begins that Sunday night and the fast on Monday 8 February; if not, a day later. Expect Laylat al-Qadr on the evening of Friday 5 March and Lebaran on Tuesday 9 or Wednesday 10 March.
Bakso, apples and evening markets
Malang is famous for bakso Malang, meatball soup with fried and steamed dumplings, a warming choice on cool Ramadan evenings. Apples from nearby Batu and sweet takjil sold around the town square often appear on the table to break the fast.
As a major student city, Malang sees many young people gather for ngabuburit before maghrib and for communal iftars organised by campuses and mosques. Tarawih then follows isha, around 19:04 on the first night of the month.
Advice for fasting in Malang
Cooler air helps, but long days of lectures, office work or sightseeing towards Batu and the Bromo area still require some care. The following habits are useful for residents, students and visitors spending the month in Malang:
- Bring a jacket for dawn and late tarawih
- Finish sahur by 04:09 on day 1
- Keep a rain cover for motorbike rides
- Mind heavy traffic around 17:30
- Drink warm drinks after iftar
What time is iftar in Malang on 8 February 2027?
Iftar is at 17:56 Western Indonesian Time, the moment of sunset on Monday 8 February 2027. Fasting that day lasts 13 h 47 min, counted from imsak at 04:09 rather than from fajr at 04:19.
Is fasting longer in Malang or Surabaya?
On day 1 both cities lie at similar latitudes, so durations are close; Surabaya simply breaks its fast two minutes earlier, at 17:54. The real difference lies in the climate, as Malang's highland evenings are clearly cooler than Surabaya's.
When does Ramadan end in Malang?
The 29th fast falls on Monday 8 March 2027, ending at 17:46. Lebaran is then expected on Tuesday 9 March, or on Wednesday 10 March if the month completes thirty days, depending on the government's announcement.
