Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Commenting on this issue, the issue of the crescent moon and the sighting of the dawn, naturally, the Ministry of Awqaf issued... the dialogue and disagreement that occurred between us and some of the scholars and people of knowledge in this country three or four years ago, and naturally the outcome was what I said, meaning in the third section of... regarding fasting. A few days ago, the Director of Preaching and Guidance in the Ministry, whose name is the brother "Ibrahim Qaysi," a good and kind young man, mentioned to me that the Director of Meteorology, "Ali al-Abbanda," had a dialogue with him; because there is a committee formed there called the "Committee of Times."
The Shaykh: Good.
The questioner: And this committee includes the Director of Preaching and Guidance as a member along with the Director of Meteorology, so when he asked him the first question, he said to him: My brother, the disagreement that happened years ago and still continues.
The Shaykh: Please, who is the one saying this?
The questioner: "Ibrahim."
The Shaykh: "Ibrahim" himself is directing the manager.
The questioner: He said this disagreement that took place years ago, and the result was, and still is, a matter of disagreement, and we observe that the dawn does not appear until after the time approved by the Ministry, and they added to it from their own side.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The questioner: So he said to him: My brother, who is saying this?
The Shaykh: "Al-Abbanda."
The questioner: The words of "Al-Abbanda," he said to him: My brother, we must know that between the true dawn which science establishes and the dawn of naked vision, there is no more than eighteen minutes.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The questioner: Yes, by Allah.
Another questioner: A witness from among them has testified.
The questioner: And this, my brothers, is the truth, meaning most of the differences do not exceed a third of an hour, so this is what the man said a few days ago, the brother "Ibrahim al-Qaysi" mentioned it to me, and it has now put the Ministry in confusion; because the Ministry, naturally, after approving it following the severe disagreement and back-and-forth, and I wrote specifically about this case, so the Ministry, naturally, approved it, and at the head of those calling for this new time approved by the Ministry, or whose opinion was taken as decisive, at least they considered his opinion decisive in this matter, and his opinion was taken, and the days and months of the year were recorded with all their times, so now, also, the Ministry has begun to fall into new confusion in this matter, how to retreat, how to advance, how... it does not know, but is this a quick comment?
The Shaykh: Very good, but I do not understand from your words... the scientific time before the time of Fajr, scientifically before the legal time of Fajr.
The questioner: Yes, exactly, meaning he says that the dawn which science says is dawn is not seen by the naked eye until after eighteen minutes... what is the nautical dawn exactly, but the nautical dawn is not... meaning he says astronomy is the dawn with which the rising of the day begins, or the beginning of the day, this is... naturally this specific issue is absent from astronomers and from those who say that the dawn itself is at this specific time; because they do not know that the issues established by science are different from the issues that the Shari'ah says are established, and as you mentioned; meaning the Bedouin does not understand what the one standing on the laboratory platform understands as he conducts his theories and scientific analyses.
The Shaykh : That is it.
The questioner : ... .
