Suara.com – In a few days we will soon enter the month of Ramadan 2024. The beginning of the fasting month of Ramadan in Indonesia often varies, where differences regarding the start of the Ramadan fasting period in 2024 often occur between Muhammadiyah and the government. However, there are also moments that can make it similar.
So when will Muhammadiyah fast in Ramadhan 2024? Please read the following information to get the answer.
When will Muhammadiyah fast in Ramadan 2024?
In contrast to the government, Muhammadiyah some time ago announced the start of Ramadan 2024. Muhammadiyah determined that the first Ramadan 1445 H would fall on Monday, March 11 2024. This date is different from the government's initial estimate of fasting.
This announcement was made during a press conference held at the PP Muhammadiyah Office, Jalan Cik Ditiro Number 23, Jogja. The determination to start the month of Ramadan was also conveyed through the Muhammadiyah Leadership Center Declaration Number 1/MLM/I.0/E/2024.
Muhammadiyah uses a method for calculating the shape of the new moon which has long been used as a basis for determining the beginning of the month in the Muhammadiyah Islamic calendar. Therefore, Muhammadiyah residents will perform the first tarawih prayer on the evening of Sunday 10 March 2024.
Then start fasting for Ramadan 2024 and eat sahur on Monday 11 March 2024. Meanwhile for Eid al-Fitr, Muhammadiyah set the date on 10 April 2024, to coincide with 1 Shawwal 1445 Hijriah.
According to the Government, when is Ramadan 2024?
Meanwhile, for Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and the government, if you look at the Joint Decree (SKB) of the three ministers Number 855 of 2023, Number 3 of 2023, and Number 4 of 2023, it is estimated that the first day of Ramadan will fall on Tuesday 12 March 2024.
Based on the 3rd Minister's decision, Eid al-Fitr will fall on Wednesday 10 April 2024 and Thursday 11 April 2024. So, it can be expected that the start of Ramadan in 2024 will be marked by differences of opinion between Muhammadiyah and the government.
However, even though there are predictions, the government will hold an isbat session to determine the start of fasting. Speaking last year, the isbat session will be held on 29 Shaban or Sunday 10 March 2024. In accordance with the criteria of MABIMS (Minister of Religion of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore), the height range between the new moon and sunset at the beginning of Ramadan is 3 degrees and the angle of extension is 6.4 degrees.
That is the information regarding when Ramadhan 2024 starts according to Muhammadiyah that you need to know.
