Ustadh Abdullah bin Hamid Ali and Dr Khalid Blankinship on the Moonsighting Controversy!! As-Salaamu-Alaikum The Fiqh Council of North America has decided on a astronomical calculations for Islamic dates. In this highly controversial decision, the Fiqh Council proclaims that there decision is based upon "fiqhi" premises! Really? Ustadh Abdullah bin Hamid Ali with special commentary from Dr. Khalid Blankinship responds to this decision by the Fiqh Council on sighting the moon for Ramadhan! Is ruy'ah (sighting the moon) a act of ibadh? Did the classical jurists of Islam accept the astronomical calculations and abandon the ruy'ah? Does the Fiqh Council of North America have a strong position or is it rejected innovation? Ustadh Abdullah responds to this issue!
