Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - When will the day of Arafa be? To answer this question, it is necessary to know the date of the investigation of the crescent of the month of Dhul-Hijjah for this year, and the astronomical circumstances surrounding it in terms of the time of the birth of the crescent of Dhul-Hijjah and the age of the crescent at sunset, and the times of sunset and the moon at the time of investigation.

 

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and many Arab and Islamic countries are investigating the crescent of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah this year, after sunset on Sunday, June 18, 2023 AD, with the aim of determining the date of entering the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, the day of standing at Arafah, and the date of the blessed Eid al-Adha.

 

When will the month of Dhu al-Hijjah begin?

 

Astronomical calculations indicate that the crescent of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah will be born on Sunday, June 18, 2023, at 07:37 am, Mecca time.

 

On the day of the investigation, the sun will set in the capital, Riyadh, at 6:45 minutes, followed by sunset at 7:15, meaning that the moon will remain on the horizon after sunset for 30 minutes, with an age of more than 11 hours, meaning that the possibility of seeing the crescent will be high.

 

When will the day of Arafah be?

Accordingly, it is expected that Sunday, June 19, 2023 AD will be the first day of the month of Dhul-Hijjah, and Tuesday, June 27, 2023 AD will be the day of Arafah, and on Wednesday, June 28, the first day of Eid Al-Adha.
