Sighting the new moon of Dhul-Hijjah 1444 – Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia

Just a short time ago, Fatwa-Online was informed of the official announcement of the Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia, inviting local Muslims to search for the new moon of Dhul-Hijjah 1444, on Sunday evening, 29 Dhul-Qi’dah (18 June, 2023).

Whoever sights the new moon – either with the naked eye or using a telescope or binoculars, is advised to promptly inform the local Sharee’ah court of their sighting, in shaa.-Allaah.

We shall hasten to publish news of the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah 1444 as soon as we receive the official decision and announcement of the Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia, in shaa.-Allaah.
