Due to the Hijri calendar being shorter than the Gregorian calendar, the month of Ramadan will begin twice in 2030. Thus, a total of 36 days of fasting will be observed in the same year.
Due to the Hijri calendar being approximately 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar, the month of Ramadan falls on earlier dates each year. Because of this calendar difference, Ramadan can start twice in the same year in some years.
This situation will occur in 2030. The first start of Ramadan will be on January 5, 2030. Due to the calendar difference later in the year, Ramadan will start again, and the second start will coincide with December 26, 2030.
Therefore, in 2030, Muslims will experience two different months of Ramadan within the year. After the Ramadan that starts in January, a total of 36 days of fasting will have been observed within the same year with the Ramadan that will start again at the end of the year.
