UAE releases updates on Ramadan moon sighting

The Ramadan Moon Sighting Committee will meet on Sunday after Maghrib prayer under the chairmanship of Sultan bin Saeed Al Badi Al Dhaheri, Minister of Justice.

The Sharia courts across the country will follow up and inform the committee of any sightings, while the Lunar Calendar Committee at the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department will continue collecting evidence and informing the Moon Sighting Committee with the findings.

The Ramadan crescent was not yet sighted in Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening, hence Ramadan will begin on May 6 (Monday) and May 5 will be Shabaan 29.
