Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei have announced the first fasting dates. The countries said that next Tuesday (March 12) will be the first date of the holy month of Ramadan. The announcement was made on Sunday. The United Arab Emirates-based media Gulf News reported this news.
The Grand Mufti in collaboration with the Australian Federal Council of Imams, Australian Fatwa Council, Council of Fatwa and Sharia Arbitration said on Monday that the month of Shaban will end on Monday. As a result, Tuesday will be the first day of Ramadan.
Due to its geographical location, the moon is often seen first in Australia and the country is the first to announce the start of Ramadan.
The month of Ramadan has been announced to start on Tuesday due to the lack of sighting of the moon in Brunei. The first fast will be observed on Tuesday due to the lack of moon sighting in Malaysia.
Indonesia’s Ministry of Religion has announced that Monday will be the 30th of the month of Shaban, and Tuesday will be the first day of the month of Ramadan.
Meanwhile, in the Arab world, the moon sighting committee will meet today after Maghrib prayers. It will be announced when Ramadan will start by observing the moon.
According to the Islamic calendar, Ramadan is the ninth month. During this month, Muslims around the world fast from sunrise to sunset.
