BAYN AL-RU’YAH WA AL-ḤISĀB

Moonsighting is the Sharʿī cause for beginning the month calculation cannot serve as a primary proof while astronomical data remains valid as a filter to negate impossibilities.

What this book argues

Ru’yah (sighting) is the Sharʿī trigger for starting and ending Ramadan.
Ḥisāb as Ithbāt (affirmation) is invalid as a primary proof for worship timing.
Ḥisāb as Nafī (negation) is valid to reject impossible claims and protect testimony.
The solution today is structured Wilāyat al-ʿIlm through qualified committees.

What you’ll learn:

This book explains why the Qur’an ties sacred timing to the ahillah the visible crescents and how the Prophet ﷺ established a clear method begin and end by sighting, and when sighting is blocked, complete thirty days. It shows why this backup plan is legally exclusive, and why the classical scholars maintained an ijmāʿ that calculation cannot replace sighting as the primary proof.

You’ll also learn how to use astronomy correctly as a filter (Nafī) to reject impossible claims, not a factory (Ithbāt) to manufacture the month. With principled case studies of modern state announcements, the book then provides a practical protocol for Muslims in the West including committee verification steps to restore clarity, order, and Sharʿī reliability.
