Weather of Arabia - The Moroccan Initiative for Science and Thought

According to a scientific study by the Association of the Moroccan Initiative for Science and Thought, the current Hijri year 1441 AH will witness the observance of the crescent of Ramadan in two different days, given that the beginning of the month of Shaaban 1441 AH differed in the Arab and Islamic countries, and the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan 1441 AH will differ due to a fundamental factor which is the dependence of countries on the visual vision Within its geographical range while states adopt the astronomical reports of their accredited destination.

On Thursday, April 23, 2020 at 02:27 UTC, the central conjugation will take place, meaning that the countries that will observe it on Wednesday evening will have the moon absent before the sun and thus an impossible vision due to the absence of something called "a crescent moon" to announce the beginning of Friday, while the countries that will investigate Thursday evening, it will be divided among them. The person who will adopt the visual vision will announce the first Saturday of Ramadan, while the one that adopts its own criteria will be announced Friday.

The first days of Ramadan 1441 AH will be on Friday, April 24, 2020 in these countries and committees: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia according to the Umm Al-Qura calendar, Syria, Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the Emirates according to the standard Hijri calendar, Yemen, Jordan, and Iraq (year), Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Djibouti, Somalia, Mali, and Turkey officially, and the countries that follow the European Council for Fatwa and Research according to their statement,

While the beginning of Ramadan 1441 AH will be according to the visual vision on Thursday evening, Saturday, April 25, 2020 in these countries and committees: Morocco, Sultanate of Oman according to the Omani calendar, Mauritania, and Algeria according to the calendar of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Endowments of Algeria, Comoros, France, Malaysia, and Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Ghana, the United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Barbados, the United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, the Sultanate of Brunei, the Iraqi Shiites, Namibia, Nepal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Botswana, Guyana, and Terri Peer and Tobago.

In conclusion, the Assembly states that it may be difficult for many of the meteorological committees to investigate the crescent due to the pandemic of the emerging Corona virus, and therefore it may have to several countries to its approved astronomical destination as the Egyptian Republic did during the beginning of Shaaban, where it adopted the statement of the National Institute of Astronomical and Geophysical Egyptian.
