Sighting the new moon of Shawwaal 1445 – 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 Shawwaal 1445, on Monday evening, 29 Ramadhaan (8 April, 2024).

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 Shawwaal 1445 as soon as we receive the official decision and announcement of the Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia, in shaa.-Allaah.
