Hilal sighting in Malaysia
Ramadan, Shawwal, and Muharram dates are set by crescent sighting — follow official JAKIM announcements.
Hilal sighting (ru'yah) observes the new crescent to determine the start of a Hijri month. In Malaysia, JAKIM, state muftis, and strategic sighting locations are involved.
Dates for 1 Ramadan, 1 Shawwal (Eid al-Fitr), and 1 Muharram are officially announced — do not assume Gregorian dates without confirmation.
