السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Dear Brothers/Sisters in Islam,
Please make a group effort to sight the Hilal on Friday, February 12, 2021, for the month of Rajab 1442.
Take your important part in this blessed effort. If we all try to sight the 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.
Information About the Hilal
The birth of the Hilal for Rajab 1442 took place on February 11, 2021, at 2:05 PM EST. (19:05 UTC)

All times are in their respective local time zones.
JazaakAllah Khair,
Central Hilal Committee (CHC)
