Several Saudi Arabian astronomers and scholars attempt to confirm the sighting of the crescent moon using a telescope, which will determine the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan in the city of Hautat Sudair, on Sunday .The process of determining the start of the hijriah month in Arab countries generally also uses the rukyat method, especially for the three months related to obligatory worship, namely Ramadan, Shawwal, and Zulhijah.
The togetherness of most Muslims around the world during this year's Eid al-Fitr is still a matter of coincidence or saved by the position of the crescent moon. The conjunction of Eid al-Fitr that occurs simultaneously worldwide will happen on Monday at 18.41 Universal Time or Tuesday at 01.21 Western Indonesian Time. As a result, the position of the crescent moon throughout Indonesia on Tuesday evening according to the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency will have a height between 4.88 and 7.63 degrees and an elongation or angular distance of the Moon-Sun between 8.39 and 10.22 degrees. The moon's age has reached 14.30 to 17.
However, whether the weather is cloudy or rainy, it will be a major obstacle considering that in a number of areas it is still raining, even triggering flooding. To increase the potential for seeing the new moon for Shawwal, the Ministry of Religion has prepared new moon sightings in 120 locations.
