Crescent Moon Visibility of Jumada Al-Ula 1446 AH

Prediction: The crescent visibility map below for Jumada Al-Ula 1446 (RHS) shows that the moon will be born on 1 November 2024 at 12:47 GMT/UT, but it will not be visible by the naked eye anywhere in the UK to Morocco region on that date or the next day. However, on 3 November 2024, the moon may be visible in Morocco, but [may] not in the UK until the next day. Hence, the month of Jumada Al-Ula will most likely start on 4 November 2024 in Morocco and the UK (applying the "30-days complete" rule), InShaAllah. [UK Major Lunar Standstills Q&A]
