Morocco to Observe Crescent Moon for Ramadan Start Date
While in most Muslim countries, the date of the start of Ramadan is already known, Morocco, on the other hand, announces that the observation of the crescent moon for the holy month will only take place today, this Friday, April 29, 1443 corresponding to April 1, 2022.
"The Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs informs the honorable judges, nadhers of endowments and delegates of Islamic affairs in the Kingdom that the observation of the Crescent Moon of the month of Ramadan 1443 is scheduled for Friday, April 29, 1443 of the Hegira corresponding to April 1, 2022," the ministry said in a statement.
It therefore calls on the magistrates and other Habous delegates to inform it by telephone of the observation or not of the crescent moon.
