Quote:  “Astronomical estimates showed on Sunday (February 8, 2026) that the month of Ramadan for the year 2026 will begin astronomically on Thursday, February 19, after the month of Sha’ban completes 30 days and ends on Wednesday, February 18, with the first day of Eid al-Fitr being Saturday, March 21, if the fasting is confirmed to be 30 days.” : Clare
