Solar Eclipse Prayer & Moon Sighting 
As most people are aware there will be a partial solar eclipse visible in the UK on 29/3/2025 (10 am to 12 pm), so please arrange to offer the eclipse prayer (Salatul Kusuf) in Jamat (Bukhari). As the day of a solar eclipse is also the 29 Ramadan 1446, please look for the Shawwal crescent moon (Hilal) after sunset and report your sighting results via our ICOUK website. Note that it is not possible to see the crescent moon after sunset from anywhere in the UK, Middle East, Asia, etc., on the evening of a solar eclipse (in the same region)! [See city timings]

The data proves that UK-only sightings fully meet the rules of Shariah. [Read more]The Hanafi Madhab: Global Moon Sighting is NOT proven! [View Poster] [Urdu PDF]
