the Day of Conjunction or the last day of Muharram 1437.
The current month of Muharram is of 29 days starting on Wednesday & ending
on Wednesday as per moon phases.
For ISNA/FCNA, today is 23rd day of Muharram, which is the correct date as per
the moon-phases. According to Sharia, the American Muslims who are living on
the Magrib side (Western ) can start the day as well as months only after those
in the Eastern countries. But in Saudi Arabia, the date given is 22 nd for Thursday !!
The Saudis started the month on the next day of Americans. Saudis have entered the
house through back doors !!!
The Saudis are in error because they ignored the Sign of Allaah - Solar Eclipse which
occurred on the 30th day of Dhul Qaidah (Sunday - 13th Sep). They again ignored the Sharia
rule that a Solar Eclipse marks the end of a month. They started Dhul Hijjah on Tuesday
instead of Monday !!!
It is unfortunate that Saudi Arabian authorities are committing error repeatedly with
regard to starting of Hijri months and scholars are silently permitting the violation of
Sharia laws. ITHAQULLAAH !!
For the start of Dhul Hijjah, ISNA/FCNA committed Taqleed of Saudis even though they
were aware that Saudi's start of Dhul Hijjah was incorrect. They are reminded that they
alone will be held responsible for the errors committed knowingly. ITHAQULLAH !!
All are requested to observe all the phases of moon throughout the year especially those of Sha'baan as it was the Sunnah of Rasool (Sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam ). .
May Almighty Allaah forgive all our sins and may HE the Almighty provide all of us
with a place in Jannathul Firdouse. Aameen
Wa salaam
