When does Ramadan
start and finish?

DETERMININGTHE FIRSTDAY OFMONTH“So whoever sights [the new moonof] the month, let him fast it”(2:185)

One of method to determine
the first day of Hijri’s month isseeing Hilal (new moon).
Islamic Community in Japanthrough Ruyat-e-Hilal
Committee Japan does
observe hilal at 29th of
Sha’ban, Ramadan, and Dhu
al-Qa’dah for its own
purpose.

Usually Hilal could not beseen from Japan. Therefore,
Japan follows the nearest
Islamic country authorities,
which is Malaysian IslamicAuthorities.
This information then will beshared by ICCS and eachcountry’s Muslim communityin Sendai.
