Ramadan 1432
Just a short time ago, Fatwa-Online was informed of the official
decision and announcement of the High Judiciary Council of Saudi Arabia
that since the moon of Ramadhaan was not sighted this evening, here in
Saudi Arabia, we shall be completing thirty (30) days of Sha'baan (1432
A.H.), in accordance with the hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah
(sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam):
((Fast when you see the crescent. If it is obscured to you, then
complete thirty days of Sha'baan. And break your fast when you see the
crescent. If it is obscured to you then fast thirty days)), [transmitted
by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim].
Subsequently, we shall be starting our taraaweeh prayers tomorrow
(Sunday 31 July 2011) after the 'Ishaa. prayer, in preparation for the
first fast of Ramadhaan on Monday 1 August 2011, inshaa.-Allaah.
