Ramadan 2026: Know the Law and Support Your Muslim Employees
Ramadan is coming up soon, so now is a good time to understand an employer’s religious accommodation obligations and legal protections for Muslim employees. This year—depending on the exact timing of lunar events on which the Islamic calendar is based—Ramadan will start around February 18, 2026, and end around March 19, 2026. The start of Ramadan depends on sightings of the crescent moon. Each year, Ramadan lasts twenty-nine or thirty days.
