First day of fasting for Ramadan to start Thursday March 23, 2023 as announced by Saudi Arabia. 🌙 The Ramadan crescent moon was not sighted in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday evening, meaning the holy month will officially begin on Thursday instead of Wednesday. The starting date of the dawn-dusk fasting month is determined by both lunar calculations and physical sightings of a new moon. Source - @alarabiya #muslim #islam #muslimnews #ramadan
