Earlier on Wednesday, Fawad Chaudhry had posted a picture of the crescent on Twitter and wrote, “Is this the first-day moon? Does the moon stay in the sky for so long after the sun sets? Let the people decide for themselves…”

According to the details, the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee has said that the moon could not be sighted due to thick clouds. To which Cuadhry responded, “If there were clouds, how could be the moon sighted?

He went on to say, “The scholars should decide whether technology is forbidden (Haraam) or not. If people can pray by looking and the time, then why moon cannot be seen by technology?”

Fawad Chaudhry concluded by saying, “The Zilhajj moon has already been sighted in Pakistan, you can watch its location on the Ruet App.”

This is not the first time when Fawad Chaudhry proved the technology right. The final decision of celebrating Eid-ul-Adha is yet to be finalized after Fawad’s statements.
