ذو القعدة
Dhu al-Qaʿdah 1447 AH
One of the four sacred months, between the two feasts, with no holy day in either branch’s year.
Begins on Saturday 18 April 2026 and runs 30 days, to Sunday 17 May 2026.
Projected from the Umm al-Qura calendar, as ActivePray reckons it. A Hijri month truly begins when the new crescent is seen, so it can open a day either side of this. Like every day of the Hijri year, each day begins at sunset the evening before.
No holy day
Neither branch’s year keeps a holy day in Dhu al-Qaʿdah: a month of ordinary weeks and Friday prayer.
The White Days
Three days of recommended fasting each lunar month, the Ayyām al-Bīḍ, when the moon is full. In Dhu al-Qaʿdah 1447: Thursday 30 April 2026, Friday 1 May 2026 and Saturday 2 May 2026.
In ActivePray, the Hijri date stands at the top of every day, with each prayer at its hour and the holy days and fasts of the year, in Sunni and in Twelver Shia practice.
