Expectations of the date of Ramadan in Iraq, 12 FEB

 Expectations of the date of Ramadan in Iraq

After the Sunni Endowment Office in Iraq and the Supreme Religious Authority in Najaf announced the start dates for the month of Shaban for the Hijri year 1445, it has become almost certain to know the date of the next month of Ramadan, which follows Shaban in the lunar months.

The crescent of the month of Shaaban was seen at sunset this evening, Sunday (February 11, 2024), with the naked eye in Najaf Al-Ashraf and Kirkuk.

The Sunni Endowment Office announced yesterday that today, Sunday, is the first day of the month of Shaban, and considering that this month will have 30 days, the beginning of the month of Ramadan will be next March 12, and if the month of Shaban has 29 days, then the first of Ramadan will be on March 11.

On the other hand, the Office of the Supreme Religious Authority announced yesterday that tomorrow, Monday, is the first day of the month of Shaban, and considering that this month will have 30 days, the beginning of the month of Ramadan will be next March 13, and if the month of Shaban has 29 days, then the first of Ramadan will be on March 12.

This year, Sunnis and Shiites may fast on the same day if the Sunni Endowment and the Supreme Authority in Najaf announce that March 12 is the first day of the month. Otherwise, the difference will be one day, and the Sunnis will fast a day earlier than the Shiites.  link
