MEDIA STATEMENT

18 June 2023

According to astronomical calculations, the crescent moon is unlikely to be seen above the horizon of Singapore at sunset this evening. This signifies that tomorrow will be the end of the 30 days of Zulkaedah.

As such, the first day of the month of Zulhijjah 1444H in Singapore falls on Tuesday, 20 June 2023 and Hari Raya Haji falls on Thursday, 29 June 2023.

Let us welcome this month with more good deeds and make prayers for the safety of our Haj pilgrims.
