What is dry night?

The so-called "dry night" (dry night), this is a temporary ban on the sale of alcohol in bars and restaurants, as well as the holding of various entertainment events.

Since the ban is directly related to Islamic traditions and holidays, the onset of which is determined according to the Muslim (lunar) calendar, it usually begins to operate with the sunset on the day after the holiday and ends in a day - in the evening of the next day.

An example is the ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol on the day of the Eid al-Fitr (Uraza-Bayram) holiday, the feast of conversation celebrated in honor of the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. The end of the month of Ramadan and the beginning of the next month of shavval is determined by the appearance of a new month in the evening sky, followed by special scholars and theologians. The appearance in the sky of the month means the end of fasting and the onset of the feast of conversation. At the same time, the next day is declared "dry", and the ban itself begins to apply in the evening of the next day. That is, if, for example, in 2018, Ramadan ended on the evening of June 14, then “dry night” (and in fact a whole day) began on the evening of June 19 and ended on the evening of the 20th.

"Dry Nights" are announced not only in connection with the holidays, but also in the case of mourning. In this case, depending on the circumstances, the ban may be valid even for several days (days) in a row.
