Rabi’ Al-Thani, the 4th month in the Hijri calendar, is expected to start on Monday, October 16, according to astronomical calculations.
“The Astronomical New Moon (conjunction) is on October 14, 2023 (Saturday) at 17:55 UT. On that day, the moon can not be seen any where,” Moonsighting.com reported.
Moreover, “on October 15, the moon can be seen in Southern Africa with difficulty, but can be seen easily in South America. On October 16, it is visible in the whole world.”
