The Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia has called on Muslims across the Kingdom to sight the Ramadan crescent tomorrow evening.
The moon sighting will take place on Shaban 29, 1447 AH, according to the Umm Al-Qura calendar, which corresponds to February 17, 2026.
The Supreme Court has requested that anyone who observes the crescent should report their sighting. Witnesses may use the naked eye or binoculars to view the moon, according to a statement by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
Those who sight the crescent must notify the nearest court to register their testimony. The Supreme Court has also advised that witnesses can contact a local centre for assistance in reaching the court.
The official start of Ramadan 1447 AH depends on the confirmation of moon sighting testimonies collected by courts throughout Saudi Arabia.
