The International Astronomy Center confirmed that seeing the crescent next (Thursday) is not possible with the naked eye from anywhere in the Arab and Islamic worlds, just as it will not be possible with a telescope in most Arab countries, with the exception of parts of West Africa starting from Libya, and therefore Saturday will be the 22nd. It is the first day of Eid al-Fitr.
He explained that vision remains very difficult and requires an accurate telescope, a professional observer and exceptional weather conditions, indicating that the combination of these factors rarely occurs, and therefore the crescent is not expected to be seen even using a telescope from anywhere in the Arab world.
He stated that due to the possibility of seeing the crescent with a telescope from parts of the Islamic world on Thursday, and due to the occurrence of conjugation before sunset and the setting of the moon following sunset in all regions of the Islamic world, it is expected that the majority of the countries of the Islamic world will announce the start of the month on the next day, and then many will announce From the countries Eid Al-Fitr next (Friday).
He added that for countries that require correct vision with the naked eye only or correct local vision with a telescope, it is expected that the number of Ramadan will be 30 days, and therefore Eid al-Fitr will be on (Saturday).
