(opens the publisher’s site)Jeddah Astronomical Society says Monday, 12 October 2026, will likely open Jumada al-Awwal 1448, while Egypt's Dar al-Ifta prepares to sight the crescent Sunday.
- Jeddah Astronomical Society said the moon set 18 minutes before sunset on Saturday, 10 October, so no crescent was visible that evening.
- The society said Sunday's crescent should be observable through telescopes, making Monday, 12 October, the first day of Jumada al-Awwal 1448 AH.
- Egypt's Dar al-Ifta will sight the month's crescent after sunset on Sunday, 11 October, before announcing the official start date.
- Egypt's National Research Institute for Astronomical and Geophysical Research said the crescent was born at 6:51 p.m. Saturday, confirming Monday as Jumada al-Awwal's first day.
