Because it is still a pandemic, continued Adib, the initial isbat session of Syawal 1443 H was held in a hybrid manner, via online and offline. Offline, the ISBAT session was held at the HM Rasjidi Auditorium, the RI Ministry of Religion Office, Jalan MH Thamrin, Jakarta. Participants who follow online will be facilitated through the Zoom application.
The implementation of the isbat session began with an explanation of the position of the new moon by the Ministry of Religion's Hijri Calendar Unification Team, followed by information on the results of the rukyatul hilal which was held at 99 points throughout Indonesia.
"Furthermore, the beginning of Shawwal 1443 H will be determined by considering the results of reckoning and rukyat results, as well as input from trial participants," concluded Adib.
