Just a short time ago, Fatwa-Online was informed of the official decision and announcement of the Supreme Court 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 (1444 A.H.), in accordance with the hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam):
«Fast when you see the crescent [of Ramadhaan]. If it is obscured to you, then complete thirty days of Sha’baan. And break your fast when you see the crescent [of Shawwaal]. If it is obscured to you then fast thirty days [of Ramadhaan]», [transmitted by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim].
Subsequently, we shall be starting our taraaweeh prayers tomorrow (Wednesday 22nd March, 2023) after the ‘Ishaa. prayer, in preparation for the first fast of Ramadhaan on Thursday 23rd March, 2023, in shaa.-Allaah.
