"Official Decision and Announcement of the High Judiciary Council of Saudi Arabia:
Just a short time ago, Fatwa-Online was informed of the official decision and announcement of the High Judiciary Council of Saudi Arabia that since the moon of Ramadhaan was sighted this evening, here in Saudi Arabia, we have completed twenty nine (29) days of Sha'baan (1433 A.H.), in accordance with the hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam):
((Fast when you see the crescent. If it is obscured to you, then complete thirty days of Sha'baan. And break your fast when you see the crescent. If it is obscured to you then fast thirty days)), [transmitted by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim].
Subsequently, we shall be starting our taraaweeh prayers tonight (Thursday 19 July 2012) after the 'Ishaa. prayer, in preparation for the first fast of Ramadhaan tomorrow - Friday 20 July 2012, inshaa.-Allaah. "
Ramadan Mubarak to all from the Haramain Recordings team, we hope that you have an amazing month filled with blessings. May Allah accept from us our siyaam and qiyaam, and forgive our shortcomings. Ameen.
