Hyderabad, August 22 (Siasat News): The first day of the fasting month of Ramzan will be on Sunday. Syed Qubool Pasha Quadri Shattari, Secretary Majlis-e-Ulema-e-Deccan declared on Friday.
He said since the Ruyat-e-Hilal (moon sighting) committee did not receive any report of crescent being sighted in any part of the state, 30th day of Shaban (eighth month of Islamic calendar that precedes Ramzan) will be on Saturday.
That also means that even if there is no sighting of moon on Saturday, Ramzan will begin on Sunday, he clarified.
