astronomical | When will the first day of the month of Shaban 2022AD-1443AH be? .. Arab weather answers

Weather of Arabia - It is expected that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and many Arab and Islamic countries will investigate the crescent of the month of Shaaban on Wednesday, March 02, 2022, in order to determine whether Thursday, March 3, is the completion of the month of Rajab, or it will be the first of the month of Shaban for this year 1443 AH.

According to the latest study of astronomical data conducted by the Arab Weather team for the conditions of investigating the sighting of the crescent of Shaban 1443 AH, the following appears:

• Saudi Arabia investigates the crescent of the month of Sha’ban after sunset on Wednesday, March 2, 2022 AD
• The central conjunction will occur and the Hilal Shaaban will be born on Wednesday, March 02 at 5:35 PM KSA
• The sun will set on the night of investigating the crescent of the month of Sha’ban on Wednesday, March 02 at 6:25 pm Mecca time
• The moon will set on the night of investigating the crescent of the month of Sha’ban on Wednesday, March 02 at 6:16 pm Mecca time
• The duration of the moon's stay on the horizon after sunset: 14 minutes
• Age of Ramadan Hilal Sunset: Less than an hour

The result: Sighting the crescent of the month of Shaban will be impossible in Saudi Arabia after sunset on Wednesday, March 2, 2022 AD, due to the setting of the moon before the sun. Therefore, it is expected that Thursday, March 3, completes the month of Rajab, while Friday, March 4, is the first of the month of Shaban.
