Eid-al-Fitr 1444 AH
will be celebrated in most of the countries of the world on Friday, 21st April
2023.
(Based on:
1. The criteria is
that on the New Moon day, if the moon is born before sunset at Makkah and moon
set is after sun set then the month start on that night. First day of the month
falls on the next day, otherwise wait for another day.
2. The criteria are
that after conjunction somewhere on the globe, at local sunset, the angle
between sun and moon should be at least 8° and moon should be at least 5° above
horizon. If these conditions are met, the month starts the next day; otherwise
the month starts on the day following next day. ) We wish all our viewers Eid
Mubarak !
The Astronomical New
Moon (conjunction) was on April 20, 2023 (Thursday) at 4:12 UT. On April
20, Waxing crescent can be seen with difficulty in USA and parts of Canada. On
April 21, it can be easily seen in the whole world.
So, the month of
Ramadan 1444 AH will complete 29 days and the first day of Shawwal or Eid ul Fitr
1444 AH will be the day of Friday 21st April 2023.
