The Kingdom of Morocco will observe the crescent on the evening of Sunday 5 Shaaban 2019 by official teams with 278 distributed in the national territory with the participation of the armed forces, as communications begin to trickle down to the Central Committee of the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, starting from Figuig, the first city in which the sun sets in Morocco, ending with Dakhla, the last city in which the sun sets Confirming that the sighting of the crescent has not been proven, that is, the vision is negative, to announce the result of the monitoring on all national and audio media, as it does every month.
