Ruling on singling out the night of searching for the sighting of the month of Ramadan for increased effort in worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q240: The questioner says: Some people, on the night of searching for the crescent of the month of Ramadan, exert themselves in worship on that night before the entry of the month is announced, fearing that it might be from the month of Ramadan. Is his action correct?
A240: This is a religious innovation (bid'ah). It is not permissible for him to single out a night for worship. There is no evidence for this, and there is no evidence that the first night of Ramadan, the first night in which the crescent is searched for, is one in which he exerts himself in it alone, without the other nights.
