Start and End of Ramadan
The month of Ramadan begins and ends according to the Islamic Hijri calendar, so its start and end dates change every year based on the sighting of the crescent moon. Ramadan begins at sunset on the day before the first day of the new Hijri month and ends at sunset on the day before the first day of Shawwal.
The beginning and end of Ramadan are determined by observing the new moon. The month is considered to start when the crescent of the previous month appears, and it ends with the sighting of the Shawwal crescent, marking the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid al-Fitr. This can be done through direct moon sighting or astronomical calculations.
Therefore, the exact start and end of Ramadan can only be confirmed by waiting for an official announcement from the relevant religious or astronomical authorities in each region.
