*LAGOS STATE MOON SIGHTING SUB-COMMITTEE (LMSC)*
*UPDATE ON RAMADAN 1440/2019*
Today's date according to the Lagos State Moon Sighting Committee (LMSC) is Saturday 28th of Sha'ban, 1440 and not 29th as assumed.
The new crescent (hilal) will be born today Saturday 4th of May, 2019 (28th of Sha'ban) at 11: 45pm (after sunset). This means that it is impossible to sight the new crescent today at sunset (6:55pm).
For the new crescent to be sighted it needs about 15.15hrs-17hrs or more. Thus, Sunday 5th of May, 2019 (29th of Sha'ban) is the first day to search for the new crescent. Crescent can only be sighted after sunset. So, if the crescent is reportedly sighted tomorrow (Sunday, 5th of May), then Monday 6th of May will be the first day of Ramadan, 1440.
Note that Ramadan cannot start on Sunday 5th of May, and any reports on the moon being sighted on Saturday, 4th of May should be rejected.
Ramadan Kareem in advance!!!
