Summary
Time and dates play an important part in worship and serve as a form of time discipline for Muslims. The Quran states that the crescent moons mark times for people's affairs including the Hajj, and that the year has twelve months. Many acts of worship depend on specific times or dates, including prayer, fasting, zakat, Hajj and the sacrificial offering. Ramadan fasting requires the sighting of the new moon, whereas voluntary fasting does not.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Terdapat banyak ibadah yang disyariatkan melibatkan penggunaan tarikh dan waktu-waktu tertentu dalam kehidupan, antaranya adalah seperti solat, puasa, zakat, haji dan korban.
