Abstract

Based on the opinion of the majority of scholars, both from the mutaqaddimin and mutaakhirin circles, they agree that determination of the entry of the new month in the Islamic calendar must be based on the results of observations of the new moon or better known as ru'yat al-hilal. Yusuf Qardawi is one of the scholars who agree with the above opinion, but what is interesting is that on another occasion he was of the opinion that Hisab falaki can also be used as the basis for determination of the entry of the new month in the Islamic calendar. It is Yusuf al-Qardawi, one of the cholars and thinkers of contemporary Islamic law who contributed his thoughts and views on this issue. As an adherent of moderate ideology, he tried to combine reckoning and rukyah in determination of the entry of the new month in the Islamic calendar.The conclusion from his view is to keep ru'yah as the first and main reference in determination of the entry of the new month in the Islamic calendar and use hisab when in certain cases (cloudy) and make it a tool to deny the existence of impossible ru'yah claims based on onsiderations of imkan al-ru'yah (visibility of the moon) agreed upon
