The start and end dates of Ramadan are unpredictable only within one day. If the sole religious consideration is to ensure that standard time prevails for the entire month of Ramadan, that can be met by extending the period of standard time so that it encompasses all of the possible duration of Ramadan. The practical consideration of having the time change occur during a weekend could then be met as well.

The hitch, of course, is getting the governments concerned to see the value of this expedient.

And then you have of course the cultural/social factor introduced by linking daylight saving to the Ramadan, who's start date is a variable factor.

Something for which I see no real solution besides country's like Morocco or Egypt deciding to not use an other offset during the Ramadan period.
