Weather of Arabia - Islamic countries are expected to sight the crescent of the holy month of Ramadan for the year 2024 tomorrow, Sunday, March 10, but will they all announce the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan on the same date?

When does Ramadan 2024 start astronomically?

Countries that rely on astronomical calculations are expected to announce the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan for the year 2024 on Monday, March 11, and its duration will be 30 days, ending on Tuesday, April 9.

When does Ramadan 2024 begin according to the vision?

Regarding the possibility of seeing the crescent, according to the International Astronomy Center on Sunday, March 10, and based on all criteria for seeing the crescent published in peer-reviewed scientific research (including the standard of the Muslim scientist Ibn Tariq, the researcher Fotheringham, the researcher Maunder, the researcher Bruin, the Muslim researcher Elias, the SAAO Astronomical Observatory, and the researcher Yallop, and the Muslim researcher Odeh), seeing the crescent is not possible on Sunday from anywhere in the Arab and Islamic world, whether with the naked eye or using a telescope, while seeing the crescent is possible using a telescope from parts of the Americas, especially from the western parts. Accordingly, for countries that require the correct sighting of the crescent from somewhere in the Islamic world, it is expected that these countries will begin the month of Ramadan on Tuesday, March 12.
