The question of how many days are left until Ramadan has become a topic of curiosity as we reach the middle of the month of Shaban. With the arrival of the Night of Berat on the evening of Thursday, February 13, many people have begun to wonder when the month of Ramadan will start. So, when does Ramadan 2025 begin, and when will the first fast be observed? What is the 2025 fitra amount?

In the statement issued by the Board, it was noted that the matter of determining the fitra amount for the month of Ramadan 2025 was discussed at a meeting chaired by Prof. Dr. Abdurrahman Haçkalı. The following statements were recorded in the announcement:
“Taking into account the relevant hadiths, current socio-economic living conditions, and an individual's daily food needs, the fitra amount in our country has been determined as 180 TL for the period from the month of Ramadan 2025 to the month of Ramadan 2026. The amount determined as fitra can be given in cash or in kind through food items. This determined sum is also the daily cost of fidyah (expiation for missed fasts). In addition, every taxpayer may give an amount equivalent to their own daily food expenditure as fitra.”
