Saudi Arabia’s Supreme Court has called on all Muslims in the Kingdom to sight the Ramadan crescent on 29/8/1445 AH, in the Umm al-Qura calendar, corresponding to Sunday, March 10, 2024.
The Supreme Court asks that people who see it with the naked eye or through binoculars notify the nearest court to record the testimony there or contact the nearest center to help them get to the nearest court.
Ramadan is a significant month in the Islamic calendar, observed by millions of Muslims around the world with fasting, prayer, and charitable acts.
