On May 5, Eastern Americas have a small chance of seeing by the human eye, and Western Americas have a good chance of a sighting. On May 5, there is a very small possibility of moonsighting by a high powered telescope in Australia, Middle-East, and Europe.
On May 4, there is no chance of sighting anywhere. The Astronomical New Moon (conjunction) is on (Saturday) at 22:47 UT. ( Source: Australian National Imams Council ) ( Source: European Council for Fatwa and Research )Īccording to Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) the first day of fasting will be Monday, May 6, 2019. The crescent can be seen on the same day after sunset in most of South America.Īccordingly, it will be the first of Shawwal (Eid al-Fitr) for this year 1440 AH, God willing, will be on Tuesday (04) June 2019. The accurate astronomical calculations for the month of Shawwal 1440H confirm that the pairing will be at 10:02 GMT on Monday, 03 June 2019 corresponding to 29 Ramadan 1440H, which corresponds to 13:01 local time of Mecca. The first of Ramadan for this year 1440 AH, God willing, will be on Monday (06) May 2019.įor the crescent of the month of Shawwal 1440 - 2019 AD Therefore, the crescent cannot be seen on the following day Sunday (May 05, 2019) therefore, Sunday will be the end of the month of Shaaban 1440 AH, so the number of Shaaban this year will be thirty days.
The accurate astronomical calculations for the month of Ramadan 1440H confirm that the pairing will be at 22 and 45 minutes GMT on Saturday (04) May 2019 corresponding to 29 Sha'ban 1440H, which corresponds to 01:45 am Local time of Makkah. ( Source: Fiqh Council of North America )Īccording to European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR) first day of fasting will be Monday, May 6, 2019. Therefore the first day of Shawwal 1440 is Tuesday, June 4, 2019, insha’Allah. On that day, near Miami, Florida at sunset the elongation is 8 degrees and the moon is 5 degrees above the sun. The Astronomical New Moon is on Monday, June 3, 2019, at 10:03 Universal Time. First Tarawih prayer will be on Sunday night. Hence the first day of Ramadan 1440 is on Monday, May 6, 2019, insha’Allah. Therefore Ramadan cannot start on the next day.
On that day, there is no place on earth where at sunset the elongation is 8 degrees and the moon is 5 degrees above the sun. The Astronomical New Moon is on Saturday, May 4, 2019, at 22:47 Universal Time. On the basis of this method the dates of Ramadan and Eidul Fitr for the year 1440 AH are established as follows: Hence the new lunar month will start the next day, otherwise, it will start on the day following next day. If these conditions are met, the new crescent will be visible somewhere on earth. FCNA uses the criteria of European Council of Fatwa and Research (ECFR), which are that somewhere on the globe, at the sunset, the elongation should be at least 8 degrees and moon should be at least 5 degrees above the horizon.
The Fiqh Council of North America recognizes astronomical calculation as an acceptable Shar’i method for determining the beginning of Lunar months including the months of Ramadan and Shawwal.
