Fatwa about Global Moonsighting [Mufti Muneer Akhoon], Click here

Dublin, Ireland-based European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR) announced that 1st of Ramadan 1434 will be Saturday, June 28, 2014. This is based on calculation criteria that there must be the possibility of crescent sighting by naked eye or telescope on any place on earth. To accept the possibility crescent sighting in any place on earth the following conditions must exist:
a) The moon must set after sunset in the place where sighting is possible.
b) The elevation of the crescent must be at least 5 degrees.
c) The elongation between the sun and moon must be at least 8 degrees.
