卡塔尔日历院宣布，根据专家们精确的天文计算，2022年5月2日将是肖瓦尔月（回历的十月）的开始，也是今年开斋节的第一天，那个周日，也就是5月1日，意为着回历1443年拉马丹圣月（九月）的结束。
The Qatar Calendar House announced that, according to accurate astronomical calculations conducted by specialists, Monday, (May 2, 2022), will be the start of the month of Shawwal and the first day of Eid al-Fitr for this year, and that Sunday, May 1, 2022 AD, completes the holy month of Ramadan, 1443 AH.
本年度肖瓦尔月（回历10月）开始的法定决定权依然取决于卡塔尔捐赠和伊斯兰事务部新月观察委员会。
The legal decision on the start of the month of Shawwal for this year remains within the jurisdiction of the Crescent Sighting Committee at the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs in the State of Qatar.
谢赫·阿卜杜拉·安萨里学院执行董事费萨尔安萨里工程师声明称回历1443年十月（肖瓦尔月）的新月将诞生于多哈时间2022年4月30日星期六晚上11:29分，世界标准时间晚上8:29分。
Executive Director of Sheikh Abdullah Al-Ansari Complex Engineer Faisal Al-Ansari stated that the crescent of the month of Shawwal for the year 1443 AH will be born on the evening of Saturday, April 30, 2022 AD (the day of sighting), at 11:29 pm Doha local time, 8:29 pm, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
他进一步说道，在2022年4月30日星期六的晚上，不可能在卡塔尔的天空或整个阿拉伯和伊斯兰国家的天空上看到新月，因为肖瓦尔月的新月不会在目击当天的日落那天诞生。
He added that it is impossible to see the crescent of the month of Shawwal on the evening of Saturday, April 30, 2022 AD in the sky of the State of Qatar and all Arab and Islamic countries, because the crescent of the month of Shawwal would not have been born at sunset on the day of sighting.
值得注意的是，伊斯兰历月份的开始和结束要看月亮在绕地轨道上的运动，格列高利历（公历）月份的开始和结束要看地球在绕太阳轨道上的运动。
It is worth noting that the beginning and end of the Hijri months depend on the movement of the moon in its orbit around the earth, while the beginning and end of the Gregorian months depend on the movement of the earth in its orbit around the sun.
