Abstract

The determination of the beginning of the Hijri months, such as Ramadan and Shawwal, is often done through the observation of the hilal, also known as rukyat hilal. In his book Tuhfatul Muhtaj, Ibn Hajar al-Haitami, a great scholar in the Shafi'i school of thought, emphasises that the determination of the beginning of the month must be based on rukyat, or seeing the hilal directly with the naked eye without the help of tools. However, seeing the moon with the naked eye is becoming increasingly difficult in this day and age.  This research employs a literature study method, primarily referencing the book Tuhfatul Muhtaj by Ibn Hajar al-Haitami. The analysis is conducted to understand his views in the historical context and how they can be applied in the present day. The results of the study show that Ibn Hajar al-Haitami's opinion cannot be applied today, as factors such as light pollution, uncertain weather and unfavourable atmospheric conditions make it difficult to see the hilal. In essence, technology is only used as a washilah (intermediary) to help clarify.
