How do I convert Georgian dates to Islamic Dates?
Answer
As a general rule, the Islamic year (lunar calendar) is eleven days shorter than the gregorian calendar. In approximately, 33 gregorian years, 1 Islamic year is added.
However, there are computer programs now available which calculates the equivalent Hijri date for a given Gregorian date.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
