Just a short time ago, Fatwa-Online was informed of the official decision and announcement of the Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia that since the moon of Ramadhaan was sighted this evening, here in Saudi Arabia, we shall be completing twenty nine (29) days of Sha’baan (1445 A.H.), in accordance with the hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ:
«Fast when you see the crescent [of Ramadhaan]. If it is obscured to you, then complete thirty days of Sha’baan. And break your fast when you see the crescent [of Shawwaal]. If it is obscured to you then fast thirty days [of Ramadhaan]», [transmitted by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim].
Subsequently, we shall be starting our taraaweeh prayers this evening (Sunday 10th March, 2024) after the ‘Ishaa. prayer, in preparation for the first fast of Ramadhaan tomorrow, Monday 11th March, 2024, in shaa.-Allaah.
