THE ASTRONOMICAL CALCULATIONS AND RAMADAN: A FIQHI DISCOURSE.
This book shatters the myth that naked-eye sighting of the new moon and
completing 30 days in the case of weather-related or other obscurities are
the only two valid methods of determining the month of Ramadan. The author
explains that certainty, not actual sighting, is the real objective of the
Shari'ah and that the Qur'an does not mandate physical sighting.
A careful analysis shows that those hadiths that seemingly require
sighting actually require certainty. The assertion that all Muslim
scholars prohibit the use of astronomical calculations, both in affirming
or negating the month of Ramadan, is not correct. As calculation is now
more accurate than naked-eye sighting, due to certain astronomical and
scientific advancements, the use of calculation is the closest to the real
objective of the Shari'ah and to the spirit of the hadiths.
