A Clarification regarding the New Crescent of the Holy Month of Ramadan
To all believers in North America,

Peace & blessings and May Allah accept all your deeds in this blessed month.

 

As a result of receiving some questions regarding the possibility of sighting the New Crescent with the naked eye on Sunday August 31st, which took place by trustworthy believers, we would like to reconfirm the conclusion of the Committee.

 

This conclusion came after much effort and research and through communications with the Office of the Supreme Religious Authority. The conclusion can be summed up by reconfirming that the sighting was possible astronomically and religiously and it did, in fact, take place.

 

As for following these results, the issue goes back to the believers and their content in them. May Allah blesss you all.

  • Syed Muhammad Rizvi, Toronto.
  • Sheikh Fadhel Al-Sahlani, New York.
  • Syed Rafiq Naqvi, Washington D.C.
  • Syed Mahboob Mehdi Abidi, Chicago.

  • Sayyid M. B. Kashmiri.
