The Use of Telescopes and Observatories in Sighting the Crescent Moon

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Or the one who wishes, from the beak, meaning a poet

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with using what strengthens the sighting, such as observatories and telescopes; there is no prohibition. However, using telescopes is not obligatory; that is not required. But if one does use them, there is no harm in benefiting from them. Yes.
