Assalaamu 'Alaikum
Following no confirmed reports of moon-sighting, the United Ulama Council of South Africa (UUCSA) has determined that Blessed Ramadan 1447 ends with 30 days on Friday 20th March 2026. Consequently, in South Africa, the 1st day of Shawwal 1447, the day of Eid-ul-Fitr, corresponds to Saturday 21st March 2026, in-sha-Allah.
The Jamiatul Ulama South Africa's Central Hilaal Committee acts on behalf of UUCSA in the coordination of the sighting of the moon. The next sighting of the moon for the determination of the start of Dhu al Qa'da 1447, shall be on Saturday 18th April 2026. At sunset in Johannesburg, the Hilaal will be 27 Hours 57 Minutes, in-sha-Allah.
Wassalaam.
