MOON SIZE AND APPEARANCE TONIGHT 30TH RAMADAN

Usually on the 30th the crescent should be easily visible and should appear big.

Moonset is mostly more than an hour after sunset if the conjunction occurred before sunset the previous day.

InshaAllah this evening because conjunction occurred 8pm after sunset last night, by sunset tonight the crescent will be about 22hrs plus old and will set about 42 mins after sunset inshaAllah but it will not be easily visible.

This will further confirm that conjunction occurred

This will further confirm that conjunction occurred last night and will also confirm that the sighting claims of last night were errors.

We are in contact with most of the people that claimed sighting it, it’s important to mention that all the sighting claims were received

it’s important to mention that all the sighting claims were received after 8pm last night , after H.E the Sultan has declared today 30th.

As usual we always follow up on the sighting claims and I can authoritatively say out of all the claims received, so far none of the

so far none of the sighting claims has passed the test questions that was agreed upon by the National moonsighting committee to help verify error sighting claims.

The questions are as follows:

1) was sunset visible same evening at the location ( sometimes people claim that sunset wasn’t visible but yet the crescent was sighted)

2) position of the crescent when it was seen ( sometimes the moon appears above sunset, on the right or on the left position of sunset).

3) time the crescent was first seen

4) time the crescent was seen last

5) the crescent’s shape ( orientation 🌙) the shape varies for every month. This is the most important factor, because the crescent will maintain same shape next day. None out of the claims

This is the most important factor because the crescent will maintain the same shape next day.

None out of the claims matched this month’s crescent orientation (with technology it’s possible to know the shape even before conjunction).

As usual we urged all of them to go out and search for the crescent again tonight.

If they sight it tonight ( though inshaallah the crescent will not be easily visible tonight like I mentioned earlier),

it will be obvious to them that their sighting last night was an error.

We will still follow up with them tomorrow evening inshaAllah when the crescent will be clearly easily visible and the shape will be visible to all.
