The initial determination of fasting was done by Muhammadiyah through the method of hisab hakiki wujudul hilal which became the guideline of The Assembly of Tarjih and Tajdid PP Muhammadiyah.

Thus, based on Muhammadiyah's decision, Muslims perform Tarawih Prayer starting Monday night and fasting starting Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the Islamic organization Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) will only carry out Rukyatul hilal Ramadan 1442 H on Monday afternoon, April 12. Rukyatul hilal will be held at 35 points throughout Indonesia.

Visiting the official website of NU, the Falakiyah Board of Nu General Manager (LF PBNU) has done the calculation of Ramadan 1442 H hilal with the method of hisab jama'i at the headquarters of PBNU Jakarta Office, with coordinates 6° 11' 25" LS 106° 50' 50" E.

From the reckoning obtained hilal height data has reached 3 degrees 37 minutes 01 seconds. While the duration of its appearance reaches 17 minutes 11 seconds, while ijtimak or conjunction on Monday, April 12 at 09:29:29 WIB.

This means that the height of the hilal already meets the criteria of imkanur rukyah (consider the possibility of sightings of the new moon) and the probability of hilal is seen by 2 degrees.

Meanwhile, the Government through the Ministry of Religious Affairs will hold a session on the initial determination of Ramadan 1442 H on Monday, April 12. The session is planned to take place at auditorium H.M Rasjidi, Ministry of Religion on MH. Thamrin Street Number 6 Jakarta.
