Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq and Tunisia have announced that Friday is the first day of the blessed month of Ramadan, in light of preventive measures taken by Arab and Islamic countries to deal with the outbreak of the pandemic Corona.
While Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Arab and Islamic countries are investigating the observance of the crescent of the month of Ramadan, on the evening of Thursday, which corresponds to the 30th of the month of Sha’ban in the Hegirian calendar.
In Egypt, Mufti Shawqi Allam said – in a televised statement Wednesday evening – that he had been verified by Sharia law and House science committees that observing the Ramadan crescent with the naked eye was not proven, and that the astronomical calculation also agreed.
So Friday will be the first day of Ramadan, he added.
For his part, the head of the Sunni endowment office in Iraq, Saad Kampash, told a press conference in the capital, Baghdad, that Ramadan begins on Friday, after the observation of the crescent of the month has not proven Wednesday night. The Shia endowment office will investigate Hilal Ramadan on Thursday.
As for Lebanon, Dar Al-Fatwa said in a statement that “we have not proven the observance of the crescent of Ramadan, and therefore Thursday is the day which ends the thirty days of Shaban”.
The country’s mufti, Sheikh Abd al-Latif Derian, on Wednesday called on Muslims in his country to offer prayers during the month of Ramadan in their homes, until the outbreak of the Corona virus is over.
Sheikh Derian said, in a speech: “It is dear to us to welcome the blessed month of Ramadan, and mosques are closed due to the outbreak of the Corona pandemic.”
He added: “We will keep in touch with state officials and with doctors to clear the image and announce the end of the quarantine, so that Muslims bleed the good news of returning to our mosques soon, if God he wants it.”
For its part, the Qatar Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs announced on Wednesday that Tarawih prayers and Friday sermons would be held in a mosque in the capital, on a limited basis, due to the Corona virus.
Qatar’s state-run news agency reported on Wednesday evening that the ministry had been exempted from the decision to close mosques and stop congregational and Friday prayers at Imam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab Mosque.
