Solar eclipse coincides with Rabi' al-Awwal Crescent
The National Meteorological Institute has announced that the lunar conjunction for the month of Rabi' al-Awwal in the year 1448 AH will occur astronomically on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 6:37 PM local Tunisian time. This event will coincide with a total solar eclipse, which will be partial in Tunisia. The astronomical sighting of the crescent moon is expected to begin on Thursday, August 13, 2026, at 8:58 AM local time, from regions in the western Pacific and central Australia. This sighting will gradually expand westward, which is of particular astronomical significance due to its coincidence with the solar eclipse. The Dar al-Ifta is the official authority responsible for announcing the beginning of lunar months.
