First day of Eid al-Adha in Syria is Sept. 23rd, Syrian Astronomical Association says

Damascus, SANA- The Syrian Astronomical Association on Sunday said that according to astronomical calculations, the first day of Dhu al-Hijjah will be on Monday Sept. 14th and accordingly the first day of Eid al-Adha will be on September 23rd.

Deputy Director of the Association Abdelaziz Snobar told SANA that the Association isn’t responsible for setting the dates of the lunar months of the Hijri calendar in Syria as this is the responsibility of the First Sharia Judge in Damascus, and the Association only provides scientific and astronomical studies to help him make the decision.
