Joint Ramadan Announcement
Ramadan starts Monday, March 11th, 2024.
The first Taraweeh prayer started after the Isha prayer on Sunday, March 10th, 2024.
As we approach the blessed month of Ramadan, we want to reiterate our joint policy on the determination of the Islamic Calendar as announced to the community in January 2023.
The global moon sighting position is one of the valid positions for determining the beginning of an Islamic month. Using accurate scientific astronomical calculations is also another acceptable method and a Shariah-compliant position that has been validated by the scholars of the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR) and the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA). The astronomical calculations position has been adopted by many Islamic Centers across North America and Europe, and we believe that adopting this position in the Greater Austin area will provide us with a consistent methodology needed for better planning of our holidays and events logistics.
This policy has full support from all the Imams and administrative leadership of all the major Central Texas Mosques. The religious and executive leadership of Central Texas Islamic Centers, including GIC, ICBC, ICGA, ICHC, ICLT, ICRR, NAMCC, Nueces Mosque, and QCIC, led by Sheikh Ahmed Abd El-Khaleq, have all agreed to adopt the position of the astronomical calculation in Austin to establish the Islamic Calendar and determine the beginning of Islamic months, including Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr. Please find approval by Sheikh Ahmed and Austin Imams in the attached opinion & recommendation.
