Al-Marsad newspaper: In a video clip he posted on his official account on the “X” platform, Kuwaiti journalist Ali Al-Fadala criticized the statements of Kuwaiti astronomer Adel Al-Saadoun after losing the challenge regarding sighting the Ramadan crescent.
Al-Fadhala said in the video: Father, I inform you that astronomy has now developed and become technologically advanced. Your problem is that you worked hard and were determined, and you want to fix it with your uncle, and you say, “I am Sunni, not Shiite.” What do Sunnis and Shiites have to do with the subject of ijtihad? This is something astronomical.
She wants her aunt to patch her up
He added: Do you want to say that the Sunnis are right and the Shiites are wrong, or that the Shiites are right and the Sunnis are wrong?! .. You want to patch it up and blind it, you have no job, their doctrine says “it is seen with the naked eye” and our doctrine says “it is seen with a telescope”.
Annual calendar
He continued: In some Asian countries, they follow the calendar. They have clouds and do not see the crescent, so they follow the annual calendar. Technology has advanced and developed, and we know when the sun sets and when it rises. Likewise, in Northern Europe, which does not see the sun for several months, these countries issued a fatwa on this matter. In the end, how do they fast?
He continued: Your mistake is that you defy the Lord of the Worlds. You defy something by the command of the Most Gracious. He pointed out that rain is expected, and God subjugates the winds and removes the clouds.
Advancement of science
He continued: Work hard, but say, “God knows. What will happen, my brother. Do not make a mistake so that you do not make a mistake. Science has advanced. I am sitting talking to you and I can tell you when the solar and lunar eclipses will take place. Rest and reason. Work hard, but you work hard and are stubborn about what happens.”
