The Ruling on Seeing the New Moon with a Telescope

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to see the new moon using telescopes and magnifying instruments?

Answer:
There is no harm in it, but we are not required to set up telescopes and magnifiers, and I do not know what is required in this regard. However, if they are available, there is no harm in benefiting from them.
