Qatar Urges Sighting of Ramadan Crescent Moon on March 21st

The Crescent Sighting Committee at Qatar's Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs has called upon people to search for the crescent moon on Tuesday, March 21st, as its sighting would signal the start of the holy month of Ramadan.

The committee asked individuals who spot the crescent moon, either by the naked eye or binoculars, to report it at the ministry's headquarters located in Al Dafna. 

The holy month of Ramadan, however, is expected to start on March 23rd and end on April 21st, but the dates are subject to change on the basis of moon sightings.
