Sighting the new moon of Shawwaal 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 Shawwaal 1444, on Thursday evening, 29 Ramadhaan (20 April, 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 Shawwaal 1444 as soon as we receive the official decision and announcement of the Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia, in shaa.-Allaah.
