في جميع بلدان العالم إلا احتمال ضعيف في بعض مناطق من القارة الأمريكية (رؤية غير شرعية ) بغير العين المجردة .
ولذا وعملا بالقاعدة الشرعية المجمع عليها أنه (( لا يعمل قطر برؤية قطر آخر بعيدا عنه بعدا نائيا ))
وفضلا على العمل بالقاعدة الشرعية أنه (( لكل قطر رؤيته )) الدال عليها حديث سيدنا عبد الله ابن عباس مع كريب
فإن يوم الإثنين 11 مارس 2024 هو من تمام شهر شعبان 1445
