Such sophisticated digital imaging technology has been used in the moon sighting of Eid al-Fitr 2017. Steve Bell at the UK Hydrographic Office told Al Jazeera that specialised infrared digital cameras could photograph the new moon, which is invisible to telescopes due to their limited optical range. Recently, it has also depended on the imaging technology used to sight the new moon. Traditionally, visibility of the moon crescent depends on the sighting location and meteorological conditions. On August 22, the moon should be visible to the naked eye across the US but may require a telescope in other parts of the world. Scientific predictionĪstronomers calculated the Dhu al-Hijjah new moon birth to be on Monday, August 21 at 18:30 GMT, but have also predicted that it will not be visible to the naked eye and that in Muslim-majority countries the moon will set before sunset.

But for Ramadan 2017, the Court called for moon sighting on the 30th day, for the first time. I n 2016, when the moon was not sighted on the 29th, the Court announced the date for Eid al-Adha without moon sighting on the 30th.

On August 22, the High Judicial Court confirmed the sighting of the moon and officially announced September 1 as the first day of Eid. The HJC had called for moon sighting on August 21, but since the moon was not sighted, it has called for moon sighting again on the evening of August 22. The Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, which begins two days before Eid al-Adha, is also confirmed then. Saudi Arabia’s Um al-Qura calendar marks Eid al-Adha 2017 on September 1, but the official date is announced by the High Judicial Court (HJC) after the moon sighting. If the moon was seen on Monday, Eid al-Adha would have been 10 days later on August 31. However, since it was not seen, the lunar month carried on to 30 days and Eid al-Adha will be celebrated on September 1. In the Islamic calendar, Eid al-Adha begins on the 10th day of the Dhu al-Hijjah lunar month the actual date for Eid was confirmed after moon sighting on Monday, August 21, the 29th day of the previous lunar month.
