Shafaqna English- Muslims in Singapore will mark the start of the holy month of Ramadan on Tuesday (Mar 12). The holy month begins with a sighting of the new moon based on the Islamic lunar calendar, after which religious authorities will declare the start of Ramadhan.
In announcing the date, the Mufti of Singapore noted that according to astronomical calculations, the crescent for the Month of Ramadhan is “unlikely to be seen above Singapore’s horizon” when the sun sets on Sunday evening.
