Ramadan to begin Wednesday, August 11, 2010

Source: IslamiCity   June 26, 2010

In 2007 the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) and the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR) came to a consensus in the method for determining the beginning of Lunar months including the months of Ramadan and Shawwal.

Based on this criteria

1st of Ramadan will be on Wednesday, August 11, 2010

1st of Shawwal (Eid Al-Fitr) will be on Friday, September 10, 2010

May Allah keep us on the right path, and accept our fasting and prayers.

For more detailed information, please visit: www.fiqhcouncil.org or www.moonsighting.com.

Ramadan Kareem to all!

Some mosques and communities may observe different criteria for determining the start of the lunar month. Please confirm with your local moon-sighting authorities to determine when to start Ramadan.
