The General Secretariat of the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR) has issued a statement outlining the dates for the beginning of the months of Ramadan and Shawwal for the Hijri year 1446, based on precise astronomical calculations and verified moon sightings.

Start of the Blessed Month of Ramadan

According to the statement, the astronomical calculations confirm that the conjunction for the crescent of Ramadan will occur on Friday, 28th February 2025, at 00:45 GMT (03:45 Makkah local time).
The council noted that the crescent moon will be visible after sunset on the 29th of Sha’ban 1446 AH with the aid of a telescope or with the naked eye in some regions. Therefore, the first day of the blessed month of Ramadan will correspond to Saturday, 1st March 2025.

Regarding Shawwal, the council stated that the conjunction for the crescent moon will take place on Saturday, 29th March 2025, at 10:58 GMT (13:58 Makkah local time).
The statement indicated that the crescent will be visible after sunset on the 29th of Ramadan 1446 AH in regions including North America and the northern part of South America. Accordingly, Eid Al-Fitr will be observed on Sunday, 30th March 2025.

Call for Unity and Piety

The council concluded its statement by calling on Muslims to uphold the bonds of unity and remain steadfast, quoting the verse: “And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided…” (Aal Imran: 103).
The council also urged Muslims to take advantage of the blessed days of Ramadan for acts of worship and righteousness, praying that Allah accepts the good deeds of all and grants peace and security to Muslim nations.
