How the Islamic Calendar Operates in Cambodia

The Muslim community of Cambodia, primarily comprising the indigenous Cham and Chvea peoples, observes the Islamic calendar under the guidance of the **Highest Council for Islamic Religious Affairs**, headed by the Grand Mufti of Cambodia.

Grand Mufti Leadership: Holds official jurisdiction over national Islamic declarations in consultation with the Ministry of Cults and Religion.
Cham Community Assemblies: Imams from Cham villages along the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers participate in local horizon observations.
Regional Harmonization: Dates are coordinated with regional Southeast Asian authorities in Malaysia and Thailand.

Meeting at Al-Serkal Grand Mosque in Phnom Penh, the Highest Council reviews reports submitted from provincial hakim (judges) across Kampong Cham, Tbong Khmum, and Kampot.
