The Supreme Court in Saudi Arabia has announced that tomorrow, Wednesday 1 Ramadan 1447 AH, corresponding to 18 February 2026, is the first day of the holy month of Ramadan this year.
The decision came after the Supreme Court's crescent circuit held a session on the evening of Tuesday 29 Shaaban 1447 AH to consider the reports it received on the sighting of the Ramadan crescent. The court confirmed that the crescent had been sighted, based on the testimony of a number of trustworthy witnesses, and accordingly decided that Wednesday would be the first day of Ramadan.
