According to the Saudi Press Agency , the Dhul Al Hijjah crescent, which is the last and 12th month of the Islamic calendar, was sighted in the city of Tumair, Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
Saudi Arabia had previously called on Muslims in the country to look out for the crescent moon that could signal the dates for Eid Al Adha 2023. The Kingdom’s Supreme Council had said that any person who sees the crescent moon, either with binoculars or with the naked eye, should contact the appropriate authorities at their nearest agency.
