ou see the new moon of  if

Clouds prevent you from seeing it complete 30 days in the month of Shaban

this is

an issue of dispute among scholars and

Allah directed us in

When he said

Then you have to refer back to Allah and the messenger meaning to Quran into the Sunnah

so what does the Quran and Sunnah say about this as

You've heard in the hadith. The Prophet said so

fast when you see the Crescent the new moon and

break your fast at the end of the month of Ramadan when you see it when you the new moon or the

Crescent

So this is the instruction of the Prophet

he

Clearly directed us to visually see it. So this means that the calculations of

People who work in

astronomy

When they say that the new moon is born on that particular day and impossible to be born on that day

Should we believe them or two witnesses who come and say we visually saw it?

The most authentic opinion is that Islam is a religion of simplicity and

We have to rely on

Something that is visual

so even if I use a telescope

And I sight the moon and I see it. It's okay because I saw it with my own eyes

but to claim that according to calculations

Today the new the new moon is born and I look and it's all cloudy

It's dusty. There's a storm. There's no possible way to visually sight the moon

Should I fast tomorrow or?

Skip it and consider it to be a day of not fasting. The answer is calculation is disregarded

In order to prove

The crime of adultery and fornication

We need a confession

From

the sinner the

adulteress or

the fornicator or

We need for

male

Muslim

witnesses

testifying of seeing the actual act of penetration and

Describing it

This is

the Sharia law

That was at the time of the Prophet and will remain until the day of judgment

If someone comes and says check we have three cameras

We have five cameras HD hi-def

16k or whatever they numbers they have

Maybe they do not reach 16. I don't know

So we have the footage

Is this sufficient?

The answer is no

They have there has to be four male Muslim

witnesses

visualizing it

So this is the Sharia law

It is not something that we make up or we think that oh, okay. We have DNA testing. This is enough. No, it's not enough

It can be

circumstantial

Evidences that a judge may use but it is not sufficient on its own

Therefore it that sighting has to be done

now

The 1 million created in our question

do we

have one sighting for the whole world of the Muslims or

there are

various sightings according to the region

the most authentic opinion and this is what was done at the time of the companions may Allah be pleased with them and

referred to the Prophet to say

that each region has its own sighting a man came from a

Sham, which is nowadays Syria from Damascus. Where the

Was there he came after the month of Ramadan entered?

When he reached Mecca or Medina?

When did you see the Crescent? And he said Saturday?

So, I mean I best said we saw it on Sunday

So the man asked should we unify?

Should you also consider Ramadan beginning at Saturday?

he said no the Sunnah of the Prophet

Apply and implement each one's own sighting and this is what's being practiced today

People in India Bangladesh Pakistan, they have their own sighting people in the Gulf area in the Arabian, Peninsula

Have their own sighting people in Egypt have their own sighting people in Morocco

People in Europe people in USA have their own sighting

divides the Ummah

When their is on Saturday mining it isn't Sunday. Their is on a Monday

The Ummah is divided.

This is not true. This does not divide the Ummah

When they at the same time said no

There are three hours difference

No, there's eight hours difference. So where is the division of the Ummah?

He says okay gotcha on

So should Muslims in America fast on Wednesday as well?

The answer's no

Said to choose me I said the answer is No read my lips

Wednesday is

the ninth of the ledger in Saudi Arabia in Mecca

We sighted the Crescent the moon and we know that it's a Wednesday

Now you guys in America or in India?

Your Arafah is the ninth of the ledger which means that you have to sight the moon in the beginning of the month

So if it coincides with our sighting, Alhamdulillah, it's Wednesday

But if it's an earlier date or a later date, then it might be choosing it might be Thursday

Sure, but it's Arafah. It's not Arafah that

Except to those who are in Saudi Arabia, but for you guys in America, it's the ninth

It's not the day of Arafah the night of the nature depends on when you see

the newborn

Moon not like ours
