question

What date is the first day of Muharram? Kindly, send me the date.

Concise answer

Dear user,

The lunar months are established either with a lapse of 30 days or when the crescent of the new month is sighted. When it comes to the beginning of a lunar month, it does not make any difference whether it is the month of Ramadhan or Muharram etc. Therefore, unless one of these conditions (lapse of 30 days or sighting of crescent) is available, one cannot decide as to what day the first day of the month is.
