@LFCSID@KloppSznn@ShahinRahmanUK To be clear - I don't mean (sunrise - sunset) / 2, I mean when sun gets to the lowest position and starts rising, because it is already several degrees above -18° due to never having sunk that low (https://t.co/OEFdfU6riC) uses this when -18° isn't available for reference
@LFCSID@KloppSznn@ShahinRahmanUK You are right and wrong - indeed it starts around then, but the sun never gets 18° below the horizon during perpetual twilight so the correct thing to do is go by solar midnight
@notfoundonx@ShahinRahmanUK You might be interested in reading: https://t.co/u4C8U83Y1K (the timing of solar midnight is still more similar to aqrabul ayyam then whatever most mosques seem to be doing though (1/7th rule? Allaahu a'lam)
my personal impetus for reading the qur'anic text in a non-literal manner was contending with the historical inaccuracies of the qur'an, which are in no way sparse; alhijr postdates jesus (much less predate moses), the queen of sheba is ahistorical, wadd, suwa3 and yaguth are
@anzarml@DauErgo13326@eraser0110 Somewhere before believing the Qur'an contains historical inaccuracies or that pre-marital sex and homosexuality are permissible for sure
@MaeidUddin Is there any chance any other group has preserved other ruwat for the other qurra outside the two rawi canon? And why did the two manage to survive there despite the trend to a two-rawi canon
@Guggenhe1m Install ngl app from play/app store and then go through the setup process (basically selecting which platform you plan to use it on - twitter isn't an option so just pick ig or something, and creating a username - everything else is skippable), you'll then get an ngl link to post
@NewCrescentSoc I expect the Sheikh from the Islam Answers YouTube channel to break his fast tomorrow as he has a track record of following true global instead of Saudi
@qrybwghryyb So you've been under my nose the whole time, I never would've guessed - I searched your account one time and thought well that dude's gone
@Au_9912@Dr_Ebtesam_@IbnalIskandar Average twitter user outsourcing their brain to grok - here is Grok contradicting itself the last time I dipped my toes into the moon wars: https://t.co/xCZebrB3MO
@abuGTI_@otaku_D_sa You can get sightings for every month here: https://t.co/omkynk8X7b (in my experience you need this page to be in English to see the list, then when you click a given announcement you need to switch to Arabic to see it)
@Dr_Ebtesam_@IbnalIskandar I've actually gone out on the 28th before with a friend to check (multiple times) - and the Saudi moon was never visible but still nevertheless people like yourself would call the crescent that is visible on the following day "a second day" moon, so in reality there's no winning
@AhmedTayy Witness testimony is qat'i??? Have I misunderstood what qat'i means - surely you're not saying witness testimony gives us absolute certainty in the occurrence of the sighting
