Ramadan 2023 Date: Moon Sighting in Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar Today, Ruet-e-Hilal Committees in India To Meet Tomorrow for Ramzan Chand
Riyadh, March 21: The Supreme Court in Saudi Arabia has called on all Muslims in the KSA to sight the crescent of the Ramadan 2023 today, March 21. The Hilal committees in UAE and Qatar will also assemble today (Chand Raat) for the Ramadan moon sighting.┬аRamadan, also spelt as Ramzan, assumes extra significance for Muslims who observe dawn-to-dusk fast during the holy month. The moon sighting will determine the Ramadan 2023 start date in Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar. In India, however, Ruet-e-Hilal committees will meet tomorrow (March 22) for the same purpose.
Islamic calendar is based on lunar cycle. A month lasts for either 29 or 30 days. The moon sighting committees meet on 29th day of each month to see if the moon is visible. If the moon remains visible, the ongoing month ends and┬аa new month begins. If the moon is not sighted, a new month begins after the ongoing month completes 30 days.┬аRamadan 2023 Date: When Is Moon Sighting in Your Country?
