Hisab Rukyat in the Light of the Quran and Sunnah
Abstract
Hisab and rukyat are methods used in determining the beginning of the qamariyah month, both methods have differences in determining the beginning of the qamariyah month but remain the same in the source and legal basis used, namely the Qur'an and the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad saw. The difference in determining the beginning of the qamariyah month is due to the absence of evidence that explains explicitly related to the methods and methods used, giving rise to various opinions and interpretations that result in various views and understandings in determining the qamariyah month. In the Qur'an it is explained that the number of months in one year is 12 months, while the number of days in one month is between 29 and 30 days according to the Prophet's hadith narrated by Said bin Amr.
