Weather of Arabia - 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 Eid al-Adha.

When does the month of Dhu al-Hijjah begin?

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

On this day, 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.
