The Crescent Sighting Committee at the Ministry of Awqaf (Islamic Endowments) and Islamic Affairs has called upon all Muslims living in Qatar to sight the Ramadan crescent on Tuesday evening.

The committee in a statement yesterday said whoever witnesses the crescent should head to the ministry headquarters located in Dafna (Towers) area to report his testimony.

The committee will meet immediately after the Maghreb (sunset) prayer to announce the start of Ramadan. If the crescent is sighted on Tuesday, the first day of fasting will be on Wednesday, June 17th.

Look out for our 2015 Ramadan guide - will be published shortly.
