As Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu Brothers and Sisters:
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 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)
We will have Ishaa prayer in the masjid tonight at 10:00 p.m., Insha Allaah, followed by Taraweeh led by a Hafiz-al Qur’an for the rest of the month.
As in the past, we will have a family gathering every Saturday evening during the month of Ramadan in the masjid where families can bring a covered dish each to share among ourselves. Singles will be exempted from bringing a dish but are welcome to bring any drinks to share.
Ramadan Mubarak!
