Ramadan

Fasting throughout the month of Ramadan is obligatory, one who denies this becomes a kafir, and one who misses it without any religious reason commits a grave sin. This is the best month of the Islamic calendar. A fard carried out during this holy month bears the reward of 70 fard acts and a nafl being observed during this month has the reward of a fard.

The Bid’a (Innovation) of the Saudi Umm al-Qura Calendar

Introduction

The Umm al-Qura calendar is the official lunar calendar system of Saudi Arabia and is used in the Middle East and by many Muslims across the world to establish the start of the Islamic month. Contrary to popular belief, the Umm al-Qura calendar system is not established on actual moon sighting but the certainty that the moon will be seen somewhere in the world within a given period. This pre-calculated and fixed calendar system is a Bid’a (innovation) that cannot be supported by the Quran or Sunna.
