Shawwal 1430H Report
Written by Web Master   
Saturday, 19 September 2009 16:56
There are no authenticated Hilal sighting reports from mainland USA or Canada on September 19. An apparent sighting claim near New Orleans, LA was unreliable on the basis of incorrect time, shape and location. Negative reports were received from Florida, Texas, California etc. The Astronomical Data also predicted that Hilal would not be sighted by naked-eye in mainland USA.

Thus we complete 30 days of Ramadan and celebrate Eid ul Fitr on Monday, September 21, 2009. This decision was reached unanimously by the Hilal Committee and the final decision was made by the Ameer of the Committee – Maulana Ghouse Nadawi in California.

TIME = 12:30 AM EST
There was no naked-eye sighting of Hilal in our Matla. Hence Shaban 1430H starts on Friday, July 24, 2009G. The Hilal Sighting Committee of North America considers Canada and Contiguous USA - excluding Hawaii and Alaska as one Matla. Further, it requires Jamme Ghafeer or large number of witnesses, in the case of clear skies as well as in the case of Astronomical impossibility, following Fatawa of top international scholars.
