The Worldwide Astronomy Heart has introduced that sighting the crescent moon of Shawwal tomorrow, Monday, is unattainable from all areas of the Islamic world as a result of moon setting earlier than the solar and since the conjunction happens after sundown.
The middle added that sighting the crescent on Tuesday is feasible with the bare eye from many areas of the Islamic world, and due to this fact Wednesday, April 10, will likely be Eid al-Fitr.
It needs to be famous that many jurists and astronomers consider that there is no such thing as a must search for the crescent after sundown on Monday, as a result of the moon is just not current within the sky at the moment, and due to this fact seeing the crescent is completely unattainable on that day from these areas, and that is identified prematurely by way of definitive scientific calculations. One of many suggestions of the Second Astronomical Convention, which was attended by jurists and decision-makers from many Islamic international locations, was the next: “If astronomy determines that the conjunction doesn’t happen earlier than sundown or that the moon units earlier than the solar on the twenty-ninth day of the month, then there is no such thing as a must seek for the crescent.”
The jurists have agreed that there is no such thing as a contradiction between this advice and the Sunnah of the Messenger, could God bless him and grant him peace, relating to looking for the crescent, as this advice solely pertains to instances during which we all know prematurely that the moon is just not current within the sky based mostly on conclusive knowledge, and due to this fact looking for it whereas we’re sure that it doesn’t exist could appear to be Marginalization of motive and science. Among the many jurists who known as for such a advice even earlier than the convention was held was His Excellency Sheikh Abdullah bin Muni’, a member of the Council of Senior Students within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and an advisor to the Royal Courtroom there, along with the truth that this advice is after all permitted in some Islamic international locations that depend on sighting the crescent as a foundation for beginning the month.
