Hijri months begin by moon sighting, not by calculation. A date marked expected is the calculated one and may move by a day when the Centre confirms the month.

About this day

The death of Abd al-Azim al-Hasani is dated to 252 AH. Twelver sources place it on either the fourteenth or the fifteenth of Shawwal, a single day apart, and communities differ over which they keep. The Centre lists the fourteenth, and the later date remains live alongside it.

Communities differ on this

The Centre’s congregation includes Indian, Pakistani, Irani, Hazara, Iraqi and Afghan families, and they do not all keep this on the same day. The date above is the one the Centre observes; it is not a ruling on anyone else’s.
