Dhul Qa'dah 1441H

Zul Qa’dah 1441

 

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Dear Brothers/Sisters in Islam,

 

Please make a group effort to sight the Hilal on Sunday, June 21, 2020, for the month of Zul Qa’dah 1441

 

Take your important part in this blessed effort. If we all try to sight the young moon in our respective vicinities, this will automatically negate false reports.

 

Alhamdulillah, by the joint effort of all the Ulama and great cooperation throughout the States, we have revived this forgotten Sunnah of moonsighting throughout the year in many localities, all across the nation.

 

CHC advises all community members to adhere to social distancing regulations during moonsighting.
