Ramadan date From April 24 to May 23, 2020 (Year 1441 AH) From April 13 to May 12, 2021 (Year 1442 AH) From April 2 to 1er May 2022 (Hegira year 1443) Majority of Muslims insist on local sighting of the crescent moon to mark the start of Ramadan, but others insist on calculating the new moon or declaring it saudi to determine the start of the month. Since the first crescent after the new moon is not visible everywhere at the same time, the start and end dates of the month depend on what is visible in each location. Therefore, the dates vary from country to country, but usually only one day.
