Crescent Moon Visibility of Rajab 1448 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Rajab 1448 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 9 December 2026 at 00:52 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date. However, on 10 December 2026, the moon may be visible in Morocco, but [may] not be in the UK. Hence, Rajab is likely to start on 11 & 12 December 2026 in Morocco and the UK, respectively (applying the "30-days complete" rule), InShaAllah. [UK Major Lunar Standstills Q&A]
