On Saturday, 29th March 2025 (29th Ramadan 1446 AH), the Hilal of Shawwal 1446 was not sighted in the UK (Local), according to the rules of Shariah. Therefore, Ramadan 1446 AH will complete 30 days, and the month of Shawwal 1446 AH will start on Monday, 31st March 2025, InShaAllah. Signed by (Ulama Panel): Maulana Abdullah Ahmed, Maulana Yusuf Mota, Shaykh Suliman Gani, Imam Sabri Alabri. Imam Saleh Albahry. Witnessed by: Eng. Qamar Uddin, ICOUK (29/03/2025 19:45 GMT).
