Bounatiro explained in a statement to the “elhiwar us” website that the moment of conjunction and the entry of the astronomical month will be Wednesday April 10, which is the first day of Eid al-Fitr and the first day of the month of Shawwal.
Bounatiro pointed out that observing the crescent begins next April 8, starting at 7:19 a.m. Algeria time, but the crescent cannot be seen due to the conjunction of the sun and the moon.
He continued, saying: “The observation begins at approximately 7:19 PM on Wednesday evening, Algeria time, but the crescent moon sets 3 minutes later, meaning at 7:22 PM Algeria time, meaning at this moment the astronomical month begins and the process of conjunction of the sun and the moon, where the sun and the moon are in one level.” Therefore it is impossible Sighting of the crescent“Because the process of the sun moving away from the moon requires hours for this to happen.”
Bounatiro said that April 9th is the continuation of the blessed month of Ramadan, and therefore the waiting period during this year will be 30 days, and the day will be… Wednesday “It is the first day of Shawwal and Eid al-Fitr.”
Bounatiro also expected that this year there would be a global consensus regarding the inability to see the crescent on Eid al-Fitr on the night of Monday, April 8, and thus the Muslims of the world would fast for 30 days of Ramadan this year.
