According to the Hijri calendar, the sighting marks the beginning of the following month, meaning that the month of Shaban will conclude at 29 days. According to the Hijri calendar, Islamic months can last up to 29 or 30 days.
Due to the country’s nice weather, locals will find it relatively easy to fast during the first few days of the holy month. The National Council of Meteorology issued a forecast, predicting cloudy skies and mild rainfall over the next three days. This year’s fasting hours will be shorter than those in 2024, as previously reported by Khaleej Times. The duration of the fast last year ranged from 13 hours and 16 minutes to over 14 hours.
During the holy month, UAE private sector workers will put in 2.5 less hours. On the other hand, government workers will work 1.5 hours less on Friday and 3.5 hours less Monday through Thursday. Additionally, Dubai has allowed its government workers to work Fridays as long as they put in five and a half hours Monday through Thursday.
