Quiz 120 – How many days are in an Islamic month?

Correct Answer is :

B) 29 or 30

Description:

The Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijri calendar, is a lunar calendar. Each month consists of either 29 or 30 days, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon. The lunar cycle determines the start and end of each month, with no fixed number of days as in the Gregorian calendar.

Allah mentions in the Qur’an: “They ask you about the new moons. Say, ‘They are measurements of time for the people and for Hajj…'” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:189).
