The monitoring of the crescent will be reflected in the countries that depend on the legal vision on determining the date of Eid al -Fitr, so that it is possible that it will be Sunday, which means that Ramadan will be 29 days, or Monday, which means completing Ramadan for 30 days.
The International Astronomy Center stated in its report on the vision of the Hilal Al -Fitr for the Hijri year 1446 that the Shawwal Hilal’s vision will be impossible from the east of the world, as it is not possible in most regions of the Arab and Islamic world, even with the use of all monitoring methods such as the naked eye or telescope.
He added that seeing the crescent may be possible using the telescope from the center and north of the American continent, but it will be very difficult in the east of the continent, even by the telescope, which means that it can not be seen with the naked eye except from some areas of the Pacific Ocean in the west of the United States.
The statement indicated that in several Arab and international cities such as Makkah Al -Mukarramah, Cairo, Muscat and Oman, astronomical calculations indicate that seeing the crescent after sunset in those areas will not be possible, whether with the naked eye or using the telescope.
