How will the Total Solar Eclipse impact Ramadan this year

The total solar eclipse of April 8, 2024, coincides with the end of Ramadan, sparking discussions about its impact on moon sighting for Eid al-Fitr. Although the eclipse offers a rare opportunity to observe the new moon directly, experts doubt immediate visibility of the crescent moon post-eclipse. Local religious authorities may issue guidelines considering both astronomical data and traditional practices. Despite potential challenges, the eclipse fosters dialogue between science and spirituality during Ramadan.
