How Libya decides
Libya's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Libya announced Ramadan 1446 would begin 2025-03-01, alongside Algeria, Tunisia and Sudan. For 1447, Libya, Tunisia and Algeria jointly declared 2026-02-19 after the crescent was not sighted a day earlier. The specific announcing body was not confirmed in sourcing.
