The Indonesian Ministry of Religion in determining the beginning of Qomariah Month used the Isbat Session mechanism, which was carried out after obtaining results from several observation points in Indonesia. "In consensus, it stipulates that 1 Syawal 1444 Hijri falls on Saturday 22 April 2023," said Yaqut.
Yaqut added that the determination of the version of the Indonesian government of Syawal was not to highlight differences. The Indonesian government still appreciates the differences that exist in the initial determination of Eid al-Fitr 1 Syawal 1444 H.
The initial decision of 1 Syawal 1444 H of the Indonesian government was taken because the hilal has not been seen at the observation points spread throughout Indonesia. According to the benchmark, the height of the hilal that can be used to determine the beginning of 1 Syawal 1444 H is 3 degrees and the angle of elevation is 6 degrees.
