Based on astronomical calculations, the ninth month of the Hijri calendar, Ramadan in Saudi Arabia, is expected to begin on Saturday, March 1, 2025 AD, and last for either 29 or 30 days. This is in accordance with the 1446 AH calendar.
However, in order to guarantee the date of the holy month of Ramadan, the Fatwa Houses in Arab and Islamic countries have planned the sighting of the crescent moon on Shaaban 29, 1446 AH. Credible reports of the crescent moon from astronomical observatories are relied upon by numerous Arab and Islamic nations.
To pinpoint the precise start of the fasting month, astronomers say to look for the crescent moon after sunset on Friday, Shaaban 29, 1446, which is equivalent to February 28, 2025. Most Viewed: KSA announces 22nd February as holiday for both public, private and non-profit sector workers

The number of hours fasted will increase during the course of the holy month, reaching close to 14 by its end. Recommend: Saudi Arabia restricts Multiple visit visas for these 14 countries
