I think we can use YEAR() in case if we are dealing with dates.

SQL

DECLARE @DateTime AS DATETIME

SET @DateTime = GETDATE()

SELECT @DateTime AS [Gregorian Date]
	, CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), @DateTime, 131) AS [hijri]
	, YEAR(CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), @DateTime, 131) AS DATE)) AS [Hijri_Year]

Solution 1

Use SUBSTRING[^] to get the year from the result of the CONVERT[^].

SQL

DECLARE @DateTime AS DATETIME 
SET @DateTime=GETDATE( )
SELECT @DateTime AS [Gregorian Date],
       SUBSTRING( CONVERT( VARCHAR(11), @DateTime, 131 ),7 , 4) AS [hijri]
