When is Al-Hijra Muharram 2023? The answer to this question is as follows:  The new Islamic year (Al-Hijra / Muharram) 2023 will start in the month of August. The date and day of Al-Hijra Muharram 2023 or Islamic New Year 2023 will begin on the evening of Wednesday, July 19, and will end on the evening of Wednesday, 16 August, 2023. This year Muharram will continue for 29 days. These dates may vary because all the dates depend on the sighting of the moon. According to the Muslim calendar, night comes first and a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so according to this rule, Muslims will celebrate Al-Hijra / Muharram on the sunset of Monday, 9th August 2023.

The Islamic calendar is based on the sighting of the moon and it is called the lunar calendar while the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar so the Al-Hijra / Muharram moves 11 days every year in the Gregorian calendar. In every country, the date of Al-Hijra / Muharram may also vary depending on the weather conditions and the sighting of the moon.

All these dates are based on the Fiqh Council of North America for the celebration of Al-Hijra / Muharram 2023. Also, all these dates are not based on the actual sighting of the moon. These dates are based on astronomical calculations. This practice is accepted widely but it is still not fully dependable.
