Assalamu Alykum
Alhumdulillah The Hilal Committee of Toronto was established in the early 80’s to serve and guide the muslims in and around Toronto the sunnah way of maintaining the Islamic Calendar, and the establishments of Islamic dates, and months, Many Masajid, and organisations, and muslims in Toronto and across Canada, trusted and continue to trust the Hilal Committee’s decision and followed it’s announcements for over 30 years.
The Hilal Committee has been consistent in its policy of following the blessed sunnah of our Prophet, (p.u.h.) in the matter of sighting and accepting shahadah of sighting with the naked eye.
Recently few member masajids and organisations decided to separate themselves from the Hilal Committee, and it’s policy, to adopt Global sighting with Saudi Arabia. They have issued a joint statement to this effect, and are actively inviting member organisations and masajids to join them.
The Hilal Committee wishes to clarify that the sound methodology on The Hilal Committee will not be abandoned, and The Hilal Committee will continue to maintain its policy and criteria as it always has.
