Ramadan is likely to begin on April 24, subject to the sighting of the moon.
The Ramadan moon-sighting committee will meet virtually on Thursday after the Maghreb prayer under the chairmanship of Sultan bin Saeed Al Badi Al Dhaheri, the Minister of Justice.
The Shariah courts across the country will follow up and inform the committee of any sightings, while the Lunar Calendar Committee at the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department will continue collecting evidence and informing the Moon-Sighting Committee with the findings.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court in Saudi Arabia, too, called on all Muslims throughout the Kingdom to sight the crescent of the holy month of Ramadan on Thursday evening.
