Riyadh: The holy month of Ramazan is expected to begin on March 1, 2025, in Saudi Arabia, subject to the sighting of the crescent moon, according to astronomical predictions.
Reports suggest that the new moon marking the beginning of Ramazan 1446 Hijri is likely to be visible on the evening of February 29, 2025, which would make March 1 the first day of fasting in the Kingdom. However, the official announcement will be made by Saudi authorities based on moon sighting reports from across the country.
Saudi Arabia follows the Islamic lunar calendar, and the exact start of Ramazan varies each year depending on the sighting of the crescent moon. The Kingdom’s Supreme Court and moon-sighting committees will confirm the date closer to the expected time.
Muslims worldwide observe Ramazan as a month of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection. The month lasts 29 or 30 days, depending on the moon sighting, and concludes with Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations.
Stay tuned for official confirmation from Saudi authorities regarding the final date of Ramazan 2025.
