Dar al-Ifta to mark Jumada al-Awwal crescent
The Egyptian Dar Al-Iftaa is scouting for the new moon of the month of Jumada al-Awwal for the year 1448 AH after sunset on Sunday, October 11, 2026, corresponding to 29 Rabi' al-Thani 1448 AH. Jumada al-Awwal is the fifth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and one of the two "maled" months in the Arab calendar. The name of the month relates to the harsh cold, during which water used to freeze in ancient times. The Islamic lunar calendar is based on the moon's cycle and has been used for Islamic dating since the era of Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab, with its first day starting on July 16, 622 CE. Jumada al-Awwal is among the lunar months defined in Islamic law, and astronomical calculations are employed to sight the moon and determine the start of the month.
