The ruling on a woman seeing the crescent moon and the ruling on seeing it with a telescope
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding a woman, if she sees the crescent moon?
There is scholarly disagreement on this, and the more apparent view is that her testimony is not sufficient. Because these are great matters, religious matters. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)... for a man, in the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas regarding the Bedouin, and the hadith of Ibn 'Umar.
Q: Who said this from the perspective of narration? May Allah reward you.
A: In the narration of hadiths, it is different from this; establishing the time, whereas the narration itself is accepted.
Q: The telescope?
A: If he sees it with his own eye, whether with a telescope or without a telescope, if he sees it with his own eye, it is established.
