The Worldwide Astronomy Heart has introduced that sighting the crescent moon of Shawwal tomorrow, Monday, is unattainable from all areas of the Islamic world because of the 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, can be Eid al-Fitr.
It needs to be famous that many jurists and astronomers consider that there isn’t a have to search for the crescent after sundown on Monday, as a result of the moon just isn’t 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 recognized upfront via 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 isn’t a have to seek for the crescent.”
The jurists have agreed that there isn’t a contradiction between this suggestion and the Sunnah of the Messenger, could God bless him and grant him peace, relating to looking for the crescent, as this suggestion solely pertains to instances during which we all know upfront that the moon just isn’t current within the sky primarily based 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 referred to as for such a suggestion 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 suggestion is in fact permitted in some Islamic international locations that depend on sighting the crescent as a foundation for beginning the month.
