Ramadan 2024 Reminders #27

My brothers and sisters, we come to

the issue

of matters related to Eid. First of all,

again, issue of when Eid? Eid is when

the moon is sighted. Please understand this. This

is a needless controversy that happens all the

over the world with Muslims every single year,

the same old

dumb questions. Two questions. 1 is how many

rakat of talawi, and the second one is

when did Ramadan start and when did Ramadan

end?

Rasool hadith is very clear. He said, see

the moon and start fasting, see the moon

and stop fasting. It does not mean that

everyone individually has to see the moon As

long as you see the moon in your

general area where you live, then this is

sufficient.

But it is not okay to say I'm

following Saudi Arabia or I'm following Damascus or

I'm following

Kuala Lumpur or somewhere

because just like we do not follow another

country with regard to our daily salah time,

similarly, we do not follow another country with

regard to when a month starts and when

a month ends.

Right? We don't pray Salatul Zohr at the

time Salatul Zohr is being prayed in the

Haram and Makkah for the simple reason that

the time for Salatul Zohr in the Haram

and Mecca

depends on the sun's position

in Mecca. It does not depend on the

sun's position in America. So if I'm living

in America and I say I will pray

according to the position of the sun in

Mecca, it makes absolutely no sense. Similarly,

if I say I'm living in America

and I will follow the position of the

moon in Mecca, It doesn't make equally, it

doesn't make sense. So we follow the sighting

in our country,

in our land.

So it doesn't mean if you're living in

Luxembourg, a little piece of land there,

there's food has to be signed in there.

No. General area. Right? So, inshallah,

do that. Don't get into these controversies.

Now as far as, salatul alayhis is concerned,

as we know,

made an obligation

to pray what is called Zakatul Fitr or

fitra

at the end of rahdah,

which

is wajib and fard on every man, woman,

and child even if it is newborn.

So and if you have servants and you

pray for your servants also, the mister

said this should be paid before you go

out for Eid salah. So it can be

paid a few days before, it can be

paid,

on the same day, but paid before.

It can be paid in time with in

in money or in,

some kind of, whatever is the staple. So

barley, dates,

wheat, rice, whatever. This is the exact amount

and so on. You can

refer to that, but must be paid before

we go out for salah. This is a

mukhary.

We ask

beautiful Eid.

beautiful Eid.
