About the Hijri calendar
The date tools use Umm al-Qura, Saudi Arabia’s official calendar, which modern browsers include. Religious dates such as the start of Ramadan and the Eids are confirmed by moon sighting and can differ by a day; other countries may also use their own calculations.
Questions
Which Hijri calendar do the tools use?
Umm al-Qura, the official calendar of Saudi Arabia, as built into modern browsers.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Every tool runs in your browser, so your dates, names and amounts stay on your device.
Are the fonts free to use?
Yes. All fonts are under the SIL Open Font License, so pictures made with them can be used anywhere.
Does tafqeet follow Arabic grammar?
Yes. The noun after each number takes the right form (ريالان، ثلاثة ريالات، أحد عشر ريالاً، مائة ريال), in the nominative style used on cheques.
