Also in Dhul Hijjah
Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar, the calculated Hijri calendar used in Saudi Arabia, covering 1437 to 1456 AH. Months that open with a moon sighting, Muharram, Ramadan, Shawwal, and Dhul Hijjah, can begin a day either side of the calculated date, so please confirm observance dates with your local mosque.
