Hyderabad: The Ramzan moon has been sighted in various parts of the country and Muslims will begin fasting in India on Tuesday, the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind said.

Earlier, the Central Ruyat-e-Hilal Committee of Sadar Majli-e-Ulama-e-Deccan, also known as the moon sighting committee, meet in Hyderabad to determine the start date of Ramzan in India.

The committee had requested that whoever sees the moon promptly inform the committee via the specified phone numbers: 9866112393, 9849879426, 9000008138, or 24603597.

Millions of Muslims all over the world eagerly await the sight of the crescent moon, marking the beginning of the holy month.

During Ramzan, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk after the pre-dawn meal ‘sehri’ and break their fast at sunset with ‘iftar’. The end of the month is marked by Eid.
