@YasirQadhi Calculations is not a valid method, proved by Quran, Hadith and ulama of past/present.
Thus, all the arguments pertaining to it are null.
By naming a few scholars/orgs within the last 100 years does not change it from being 'liberal-progressive opinion;' it rather supports it.
@tennis4life13@WorldWideWob That chest bump and staying up straight was something other defenders couldn't do all night. That's the main point of the original post.
@phillywalad @Maner2293 @Redan_CFC @Jayunit15 @CentralHilalCmt Abu Hurairah related that Rasulullah (saw) stated:
‘A sign from among the signs of Qiyamah is that the moon of the 1st night will be large and upon seeing this people will say: ‘This is the moon of the 2nd night.’
(Al-Mu’jamus Saghir, vol. pg.41-42)
The hilal for Shawwal was looked for throughout the United States on Saturday, and the CHC confirmed that it was NOT SIGHTED.
Sunday will be the 30th of Ramadan.
Monday, March 31, 2025 will be Eid ul Fitr 1446.
@Sajhansoti@CentralHilalCmt 4. Sometimes lungi sometimes sirwal. Again, a non ritualistic matter.
5. No, calculation method is not accurate for sighting of moon, and they don't try to site.
@Sajhansoti@CentralHilalCmt 1. CHC is in North America, not KSA, and doesn't decide hajj dates.
2. Salah timings are different than moon sightings. Salah is based on movement of sun while months are based on sightings of moon.
3. Car. This is a non ritualistic matter and an emotional question.
