Crescent Moon Decision Nears: Will Dhul-Qi'dah Start Saturday or Sunday?
Anticipation builds as the official announcement of Dhul-Qi'dah approaches, with possible differences between moon sighting and astronomical predictions.
As the sun sets on Friday, attention turns to a decisive moment awaited by many—the official announcement marking the beginning of Dhul-Qi'dah, a recurring yet always significant event.
🌙 Official Moon Sighting Announcement
The result of the crescent moon sighting is expected to be announced after sunset, determining the official start of the new Islamic month.
If the crescent is sighted, Saturday will mark the first day of Dhul-Qi'dah. Otherwise, the current month will complete 30 days, making Sunday the بداية of the new month.
🔭 Astronomical Expectations
Astronomical calculations indicate that the new moon will be born earlier on Friday, marking the conjunction phase when the الهلال begins to form.
However, visibility depends on whether the crescent remains in the sky after sunset, which varies across locations.
🌍 Visibility Across Regions
The duration of the moon’s visibility differs from one place to another, lasting only minutes in some areas and disappearing quickly in others, directly impacting the possibility of sighting it.
In certain regions, the moon may set before sunset, making observation impossible on that day.
⏳ Final Word: Sighting vs Calculations
Despite the precision of astronomical data, the final decision relies on the official moon sighting, making the announcement a crucial and widely anticipated moment.
