Official Decision and Announcement of the High Judiciary Council of Saudi Arabia…
Just a short time ago, Fatwa-Online was informed of the official decision and announcement of the High Judiciary Council (HJC) of Saudi Arabia that since the moon of Ramadhan was not sighted this evening, here in Saudi Arabia, we shall be completing thirty (30) days of Sha’ban (1430 A.H.), in accordance with the hadith of the Messenger of Allaah (SalAllahu alaihi wa sallam):
((Fast when you see the crescent. If it is obscured to you, then complete thirty days of sha’ban. And break your fast when you see the crescent. If it is obscured to you then fast thirty days)), [transmitted by al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Subsequently, we shall be starting our taraweeh prayers tomorrow evening (Friday 21 August 2009) after the Ishaa prayer, in preparation for the first fast of Ramadhan on Saturday 22 August 2009, InshaAllah.
