Haitham al-Haddad – Moon Sighting: A Clarification

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Haitham al-Haddad addresses widespread misconceptions surrounding the Islamic moon sighting debate, particularly in the West. He warns of hidden agendas behind some of the discourse, distinguishes between the two classical methods for announcing Ramadan, and makes a crucial clarification that the legal basis for beginning the fast is fundamentally different from the astronomical reality of the new moon.
