Muhammad Hussein Fadlullah (ra), announced that Thursday, August 08, 2013 is the first day of
the blessed Eid of Al-Fitr 1434 H. according to the jurisprudential opinion of the late Sayyed and
based on the scientific data and precise astronomical calculations it obtained that inspire trust
concerning the birth of the crescent and the ability of sighting it whether by the naked eye or by
the aid of telescopes in many regions of the world. Therefore, Wednesday, August 07, 2013 is the
last day of the month of Ramadan, which we ask Allah to return upon the Islamic nation with all
the good, unity and stability. http://english.bayynat.org.lb/
