“GLOBAL” MOON SIGHTING
Kurayb said: Umm Fadl, daughter of Harith, sent him (Fadl, i.e. her son) to
Mu'awiyah in Syria. I (Fadl) arrived in Syria, and did the needful for her. It was
there in Syria that the month of Ramadan commenced. I saw the new moon
(of Ramadan) on Friday. I then came back to Medina at the end of the
month. Abdullah ibn Abbas asked me (about the new moon of
Ramadan) and said: When did you see it? I said: We saw it on Friday
night. He said: (Did) you see it yourself ? I said: Yes, and the people
also saw it so they observed fast and Mu'awiyah also observed fast.
Thereupon he said: But we saw it on Saturday night. So we shall
continue to observe the fast until we complete thirty (fasts) or we see it
(the new moon of Shawwal). I said: Is the sighting of the moon by
Mu'awiyah not valid for you? He said: No; this is how the Messenger of
Allah (peace be upon him) has commanded us.

SHAYKH AL -ISLAM
IBN TAYMIYYAH (R) SAYS:
الرؤية تختلف باختالف التشريق والتغريب فإنه متى رئي في المشرق
ۡلنه يتأخر غروب الشمس ; وجب أن يرى في المغرب وال ينعكس
بالمغرب عن وقت غروبها بالمشرق فإذا كان قد رئي ازداد بالمغرب نورا
وبعدا عن الشمس وشعاعها وقت غروبها فيكون أحق بالرؤية وليس
كذلك إذا رئي بالمغرب ۡلنه قد يكون سبب الرؤية تأخر غروب الشمس
.عندهم فازداد بعدا وضوءا ولما غربت بالمشرق كان قريبا منها
( مجموع فتاوى ابن تيمية :ج ٢٥ص ) ٩٨

SHAYKH AL -ISLAM
IBN TAYMIYYAH (R) SAYS:
“The sighting [of the hilal] differs according to the difference in east and
west. Undoubtedly, when it is sighted in the East, it MUST be
sighted in the West, but not vice versa because the sunset is delayed
further in the West than the East. Thus, when it is sighted, it increases in
light and distance from the Sun and its rays during the sunset [of the
West]. It is then more likely to be sighted. This is not necessarily the case
however if it was sighted in the West, because the reason it was sighted
could have been the delay in sunset in their (the Westerners’) [area] and
thus it increased in distance and illumination, whereas during the sunset
in the East, it was closer.”
(Majmoo’ Fatawa Ibn Taymiyyah, vol. 25, pg. 98)

SOME LOGICAL QUESTIONS
1. If everyone follows global moon sighting and
depends on other countries to sight the moon,
no one will take part in an effort to sight the
moon locally. Everyone will depend on
someone else, thus moon sighting efforts will
end forever. How will we have any moon
sighting reports then?

3. We have heard from the ‘Ulama and Mashaikh that sighting the
moon is fardh kifayah (fardh upon all, sufficient if some do it). So
what do we do about the rest of the Islamic months?

13. The Saudi ulama say they follow the local moon
sighting and do not accept sightings from any other
country. Why should we then follow them, as we are in
a different country?
