1. Fatwaa: The opinions of astronomers are not considered
at all even though they are religiously upright and in
great number. They also cannot practice on their own
opinion.

the Morning and then Seeing it again that Evening, as
well as The Status of A Testimony in this Regard.
3. Fatwaa: ‘Shari’ah does not accept that the moon cannot
be sighted on the morning of 29 th lunar night.’ He then
states his Fatwaa that, ‘Shari’ah does not accept that the
moon definitely sets on the morning after the 29 th lunar
night.’
4. Fatwaa: ‘Shari’ah does not accept that the moon does
not set before Esha.’
5. Fatwaa: Is it Necessary for the Full Moon to Appear
before Sunset on the Fourteenth Day?
6. Fatwaa: Fazil Bareli then goes on to refute the common
belief that the day on which the 4 th of Rajab will appear
will always be the same day on which Ramadhaan will
commence
7. Fatwaa: He then also refutes the claim that not more
than four months of the year will have 29 days
8. Fatwaa: Under the subheading, ‘Certainty of a fact due
to common practice of the masses is not beneficial.’
9. Fatwaa: Fazil Bareli then goes on to discuss the Hadith
that states that the two months of Eid do not fall short
whereby he comments saying that in one year the
months of Eid will not have 29 days each.
