Chand dheaki k maslay per NASA ka jawab

Exactly, sighting is the sunnah, it should be done.

Tech has a role to play in supporting the sighting, helping to indentify best times, locations, feasability of successful sighting, but the sighting is the sunnah, not the birth of the new moon.

Tell me this, if there was a moon to be sighted today but could not be seen due to overcast conditions should there or should there not be Eid tomorrow?

Holding on to something because it is "Sunnah" while a better method or practice keeps smacking you in the face is actually pretty stupid. Sunnah was also travelling on Camels, brushing your teeth with miswak, giving azan without the loudspeakers/megaphones, no air conditioning in the mosques, or about a million other things which you and I are happily willing to forfeit. Do you see how ridiculous your argument is? For exactly these matters Islam has a bonafide method called ijtehad.

If you want to follow it just because its Sunnah then by all means. Go to your roof top and sight the moon when your meteorological department tells you that the moon is going to be there. Just like people still use miswak because it's Sunnah but don't go on debating that it's more effective than toothpaste.

It is better we should keep moonsighting as simple and use naked eye for moonsighting as using technology will cost more so by using traditional methods we can avoid conflict and also extracosts

No it doesn't. That's why people who have no understanding of astronomy or even basic science should not be passing statements on it. That's why these illiterate mullahs should not have a say in it.

Calculating the lunar calendar will be easier and will cost nth times less than funding the escapades of these morons who only care about their 15 min of fame twice every year. This will also rid us of the dozens of times when these leeches have made the wrong call and either made us fast on Eid or made us lose a fast.

How can I trust the moon to be round all the time when I can see it wax and wane and even disappear with my own eyes?
A dilemma / sad case of modern Muslims - something that didnt bother Muslims few centuries ago because they were good at Math and Sciences and didnt break each other's head looking for a reason to divide!!

Mufti Muneeb has said agar hakomat popalzai ko control nhi kar skti to
Committee ka chairman us ko bana da aur Peshawar brt mansoba bhi us Kay hawalay karday aur hakomat bhi popalzai ko daday

What is the use of being in the era of technology when you wish to be dumb and stupid - even worse than the Muslims centuries ago? :unsure:

kiya samajhdari ka saboot diya hai mufti sahab ne.

Then why not take another leap of faith and trust science to calculate out its position too, if also its shape?

You can believe anything you want who is stopping you

You mean hakomat is dividing mullahs

nah i gotta see it to believe it.

when i meant leap of faith. i meant since my eye saw it round at its maximum. it can be assumed its round all the time.

problem will occur when there are two moons in the sky or two suns in the sky.

Then why should not a lunar month not have 31 or more days if it remains cloudy towards the end of the month?
