To the respected believers in North America, Peace be upon you. The Moon-Sighting Committee of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America announces that Wednesday, June 1st, 2022 will be the first day of the month of Dhu al-Qidah, 1443 A.H. for the entire region of North America. This determination is based on the fact that there were no verified sightings of the crescent moon by the naked eye at sunset on Monday, May 30th, 2022 in any region of North America. Thus, Tuesday, May 31st, 2022 will be the last day of the month of Shawwal. On behalf of the Crescent Committee, Sayyid M. Rizvi, General-Secretary
