JAKARTA - The Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) said that the monitoring of the hilal (rukyatul hilal) at the beginning of Ramadan 1445 Hijri/2024 AD will be held at 134 points spread throughout Indonesia.

"We have decided to hold rukyatul hilal in 134 locations throughout Indonesia," said Director of Islamic Religious Affairs and Sharia Development at the Ministry of Religion Adib, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, February 20.

Previously, the Ministry of Religion would hold monitoring of the hilal for the beginning of Ramadban on Sunday, March 10, 2024, which coincided with 29 Syakban 1445 Hijriah.

Adib said that the rukyatul hilal or monitoring of the hilal will be carried out by the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion and the Ministry of Religion of the Regency/City, in collaboration with the Religious Courts, Islamic organizations, and other agencies in the local area.

"Later on, the trial will determine the beginning of Ramadan by considering initial information based on astronomical or historical calculations, as well as the results of field confirmation through a hilal monitoring mechanism," he said.

Secara hisab, kata Adib, semua sistem sepakat bahwa ijtimak menjelang Ramadan jatuh pada Minggu, 10 Maret 2024 M atau bertepatan 29 Syakban 1445 Hijriah.

On the day of the rukyat, 29 Syakban 1445 H, the height of the hilal at sunset throughout Indonesia ranged from -0 deg20 to 1,2 to 0 deg52 5.4 with an elongation angle between 2 deg14 46.8 to 2 deg41 50,4.

Meanwhile, the Muhammadiyah Central Leadership (PP) has set the beginning of Ramadan long ago. Muhammadiyah set the beginning or 1 Ramadan 1445 Hijri/2024 AD to fall on Monday, March 11, 2024, based on the Mayh Hakiki institute hilal which was guided by the Tarjih Council and Tajdid.

PP Muhammadiyah views that on Sunday, 29 Syakban 1445 Hijri, to coincide with March 10, 2024, ijtimak ahead of Ramadan 1445 Hijri occurred at 16:07:42 WIB.

The height of the moon at sunset in Yogyakarta (07 deg 48' LS and l= 110 deg 21' BT) = +00 deg 56' 28' (hilal is in shape).

At sunset, Sunday, March 10, 2024, in the territory of Indonesia, the moon is above the horizon (hilal is already in shape) except in North Maluku and Papua.
