In the majority of Islamic nations, when will Ramadan begin in 2024?
Islamic countries are preparing to observe the crescent moon for Ramadan on March 10, as reported by Gulf News. The month of Shaaban began on February 11, 2024.
The moon is predicted to set after sunset in the majority of Islamic territories on the day of the central conjunction, which is set for 9 am GMT, according to the International Astronomical Center. Because of this, it is expected that March 11 will be the start of Ramadan in many nations.
Despite this, scientific criteria for crescent visibility indicate that there is little chance of seeing the crescent on March 10.
The crescent won’t be seen that day anywhere in the Arab and Islamic world, according to astronomical observatories like SAAO, eminent academics like Ibn Tariq, Wutheringham, Maunder, Parwin, and Elias, and researchers Yallop and Odeh.
Nonetheless, from some parts of the Americas, particularly in the west, one may be able to see the crescent using a telescope.
Therefore, Ramadan is anticipated to begin on Tuesday, March 12, for those Islamic nations who need to accurately sight the crescent moon.
An important component of celebrating this holy month in the Islamic calendar is the expectation of seeing the crescent as preparations get underway.
