Crescent from the Perspective of Astronomy, Sharia and Modern Science

Submitted by siteadmin on Wed, 10/23/2019 - 12:43

Modern science and technology have influenced society's practice of crescent sighting. It has resulted in a change in perception of such a sensitive subject  from the standpoint of Sunnah and Shari’a, in the process of the crescent sighting. 

It is necessary to understand the reason behind such changes in perception and a unilateral outlook that has caused such a debate.
