Statement of the Crescent Committee Regarding the New moon of the Holy Month of Rajab 1429

 

To all believers in North America,

May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon all of you.

“The Crescent Committee” of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars in North America would like to announce that the New moon of the Holy Month of Rajab for the year 1429 A.H. was sighted at sunset on Thursday July 3rd, 2008 only in the City of Hemet in South California. There was no other sighting reported anywhere in North America (United States and Canada) although the skies were clear in many different areas at sunset on Thursday.

Based on this information and in accordance to the principles for identifying the beginning of the new month of Grand Ayatullah Sayed Sistani may Allah prolong his life, it was concluded that Friday July 4th, 2008 is the 1st day of the Holy month of Rajab for the year 1429 A.H. for South California and localities that share the same horizon. As a result all other areas of North America (United States of America and Canada) should observe the beginning of the Holy Month of Rajab on Saturday July 5th, 2008.

May Allah bless all of you and provide you with the success to achieve closeness through acts of worship in this Holy Month.

 بيان صادر عن هيئة الهلال بخصوص هلال شهر رجب 1429

 

الى سائر المؤمنين في أميركا الشمالية

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

تعلن هيئة الهلال التابعة لمجلس علماء المسلمين الشيعة في أميركا الشمالية عن ثبوت رؤية هلال شهر رجب المرجب بعد غروب الخميس الواقع فيه 3 تموز 2008 في مدينة هِمِت بجنوب كاليفورنيا. بينما لم تسجل حالة مشاهدة في أي مناطق أخرى من أميركا وكندا مع صحو كثير من مناطقها غروب الخميس.

 بناء على ذلك، ووفقاً لمباني سماحة آية الله العظمى السيد السيستاني مد ظله، فإن يوم الجمعة الواقع فيه 4 تموز سيكون الأول من شهر رجب لجنوب كاليفورنيا والمناطق المشتركة معها في الافق.

 بينما سيكون الأول من شهر رجب في سائر المناطق الاخرى من أميركا الشمالية (كندا، شرق ووسط أميركا...) هو السبت الواقع فيه 5 تموز 2008

 وفق الله الجميع لصالح الأعمال وأعاده الله علينا وعليكم جميعاً بالخير واليمن والبركة
