Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it said that astronomical calculations are not relied upon in establishing the sighting of the new moon? So likewise, it is said regarding the times of the five daily prayers. The five daily prayers are observed by watching the sun: when it passes its zenith, you see it; when it sets, you see it; when the twilight disappears, you see it, and the 'Isha' prayer becomes obligatory; when the dawn breaks, you see it. These are matters of observation. These are matters of observation.
Answer:
Yes, you do not need calculation except in places where there is no observation, places that are obstructed and have no observation. So the calendar is a sign, a sign; it is not relied upon, but it is a sign for the entry of the time only. Yes.
