Note that since mid-1439 (2/2018) we have advised our observers to look for the moon on both the 29th and the next day of the lunar month (for the UK to Morocco Region). This strategic improvisation makes it possible to have a future united Ramadan/Eid based on a UK-only Hijri calendar, subject to community consensus, InshaAllah. The tick (✓) shows positive (seen) and the cross (✕) shows negative (not seen) sighting reports for that month from any of the 2-days of monthly observations (from the UK). As of 1444/2023, the observation dates changed to UK 29th (and the next day). [Summary Fatawa] Observation before sunset is indicated by an asterisk ✕* (Major Lunar Standstills).
