Why is my Hijri age higher?
A Hijri year is about 354 days, 11 days shorter than a Gregorian year. So your age in Hijri years grows a little faster: after 33 Gregorian years, you are about 34 Hijri years old. Official papers in Saudi Arabia sometimes use the Hijri age, for example for retirement.
Examples
Born on 28 February 1990, on 4 October 2026
