Following the Astrologers in the Worship of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q5: Is it permissible to follow the astrologers in the worship of Allah , such as fasting and other matters?
A5: It is not permissible to follow them in that; rather, it is obligatory to rely on the sighting of the crescent moon, based on the authentic hadith:Sunan an-Nasa'i 2124Sahih (Darussalam) . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
A5: It is not permissible to follow them in that; rather, it is obligatory to rely on the sighting of the crescent moon, based on the authentic hadith:
Fast when you see it and stop fasting when you see it, and if it is obscured from you (too cloudy), then complete thirty (days).
صوموا لرؤيته، وأفطروا لرؤيته، فإن غم عليكم فأكملوا شعبان ثلاثين يومًا
