The government, through the Ministry of Religious Affairs, set the start of fasting for 1 Ramadan 1447 AH to be Thursday, 19 February 2026. The decision was taken after the Isbat session held at the Kemenag office, Jakarta, on Tuesday afternoon, 17 February 2026, led by the Minister of Religious Affairs Nasaruddin Umar. The determination was made because the hilal (new moon) was not sighted on Tuesday, according to the Kemenag Hisab Rukyat team which stated that the hilal position did not meet the visibility criteria of MABIMS. Despite differences, the worship remains valid and Muslims are urged to show mutual respect. The Isbat session involved various Islamic community organisations, falak experts, and astronomy institutions. The determination of the start of Ramadan is made through an integration of hisab (astronomical calculations) and rukyatul hilal (moon sighting).
