Source, method and history

Source: Umm al-Qura calendar
How we know: Estimated: the Umm al-Qura (Saudi Arabia) calendar, as built into ICU. The day is set by moon sighting, so Saudi Arabia, other countries and local communities can keep it a day apart; Shia communities often follow their marja’s sighting.
