[ICOP] News from Saudi Arabia - Ramadan 1431 AH Hilal
Written by Web Master   
Wednesday, 11 August 2010 07:51
Respected brothers/scholars in Islam,
Assalamualaikum wa-Rahmatullahi wa-Barakatuh.
I just spoke to members of Tabuk and Riyadh Hilal Committees in Saudi Arabia. They all confirmed that none of the 10 official committee members were able to sight the Hilal on Tuesday 10 August 2010, but some bedouins from Shagrah (near Riyadh) claimed sighing and reported to the Court.
When asked how come the astronomers could not see the Hilal with their own eyes or telescopes, the bedouins replied that the astronomers' telescopes are not as powerful as the their eye sights!
Unfortunately, the Saudi Supreme Court is happy to accept a single witness report (from a man, women or a slave) to start the month of Ramadan without further verification.
Please see the Youtube video link below about our UK scholars meeting with Saudi scholars.
Dim lights Embed Embed this video on your site We have also suggested the ICOP members proposal that (1) the Umm Al-Qura calendar criteria should be changed to a predicted visibility model and (2) the court should only accept witness reports from a large group of people with the official Hilal committees.
Wassalam,
Qamar Uddin, UK

الإسلام
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
تحدثت للتو مع أعضاء اللجان تبوك والرياض الهلال في المملكة العربية السعودية. فقد أكدوا جميعا أن أيا من أعضاء لجنة رسمية 10 كانوا قادرين على رؤية الهلال يوم الثلاثاء 10 أغسطس 2010 ، ولكن بعض البدو من Shagrah (بالقرب من الرياض) وادعى تنهد وقدم تقريرا إلى المحكمة.
وردا على البدو وعندما سئل كيف يأتي علماء الفلك لم يتمكن من رؤية الهلال بأعينهم أو التلسكوبات ، أن علماء الفلك التلسكوبات 'ليست قوية مثل مشاهد العين!
وللأسف ، فإن المحكمة العليا السعودية سعيد على قبول تقرير لشاهد واحد (من رجل وامرأة أو عبدا أ) إلى بداية شهر رمضان من دون مزيد من التحقق.
يرجى الاطلاع على الرابط أدناه يوتيوب فيديو عن لقاء العلماء في المملكة المتحدة لدينا مع علماء السعودية.

وقد اقترحنا أيضا أن الاقتراح أعضاء نواتج والإنتاجية (1) تقويم القرى معايير أم ينبغي تغييرها لتصبح نموذجا الرؤية توقع و (2) ينبغي للمحكمة أن تقبل سوى تقارير الشهود من مجموعة كبيرة من الناس مع لجان الهلال الرسمية.
والسلام
