La luna nueva que corresponde al mes del Ramadán, ocurre el 27 de febrero a las
18:45 (hora de Costa Rica = CST = UTC – 6 horas).
Por
estas fechas el Sol, en la constelación Aquarius se oculta a las 17:47,
con un acimut de 262° (Oeste-Suroeste).
El
viernes 28 de febrero, el cachito de luna creciente (en la constelación Pisces), podría
verse a la puesta del Sol (o poco después), con una altitud sobre el horizonte
de 11°, justo encima del Sol poniente.
Entonces
calificaría como “el primer cachito de luna creciente”,
para definir el inicio
del Ramadan en este año 2025. (¡Para Costa Rica!).
En todo caso, el sábado 1 de marzo, a la hora de la puesta del Sol, el cachito (más gordito)
tendría una altura de 24°; más fácil para ser observado.
La
autoridad religiosa, decidirá.
[Sic]: “About Ramadan 2025 (Massachusetts
Institute of Technology). Every year,
Muslims fast each day of Ramadan from dawn until dusk, for the duration of the
month. This year, Ramadan is expected to begin in the evening on Friday,
February 28, 2025 and end on Saturday, March 29, 2025.
The
Islamic Calendar follows a lunar cycle, and while these are the calculated
expected dates of Ramadan, they can differ from place to place based on
moon-sightings or lack thereof. Some Muslims strictly follow calculations,
while others strictly follow moon-sightings, and some follow a combination of
both. What Muslims choose to follow can depend on their religious convictions,
where they have lived in the world, and what their families practice. The day
after the end of Ramadan (Sunday, March 30, 2025) is a religious
holiday called Eid-al-Fitr.For each day of Ramadan, fasting consists of
abstaining from eating or drinking, including water, while the sun is out. Once the sun has set, Muslims eat dinner, a meal
called “iftar” in Arabic. Iftar is generally a community-focused meal, where
family members and friends come together for the blessed occasion. Afterwards,
eating and drinking during the night is allowed until dawn of the next day.”
