Fatwa: Rabi' al-Awwal starts Aug 14
The Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta announced that the start of the month of Rabi' al-Awwal 1448 AH will be on Friday, August 14, 2026, after the moon sighting for the month could not be confirmed tonight, Wednesday. The statement clarified that Thursday will complete the month of Ṣafar, based on the results indicating that the new moon was not sighted. Rabi' al-Awwal is a significant month for Muslims, especially because of the anniversary of the Prophet Muhammad's birth, during which celebrations and various religious activities take place. The Dar Al-Ifta relies on specialized committees of Islamic scholars and astronomical experts to ensure the accuracy of the moon sighting results, adhering to both Shariah and scientific standards.
