Now, on the evening of 27th June, the moon sets in Makkah just one minute after sunset. It is thus not possible to observe it at Makkah itself. Neither is it possible to observe it at any other place on earth before the prayer of Sobh in Makkah. All scientific observatories can confirm this fact. Fixing in an arbitrary manner the beginning of Ramadan on 28th June is equivalent to abusively imposing on the Muslims of the Arabic Peninsula a fast on the last day of Sha’ban.
