When Does Ramadan Start?
Ramadan begins with the sighting of the new moon that marks the start of the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Because the Islamic calendar follows lunar cycles, the exact start date of Ramadan may vary by country or region depending on local moon sighting practices.
For this reason, Ramadan does not start on a fixed date in the Gregorian calendar and changes every year.
