The agency urged anyone who sees the crescent moon of Ramadan with the naked eye, or with binoculars, to inform the nearest court and register their testimony with it, or to contact the nearest center to help them reach the nearest court.

The Supreme Court also hoped that those who have the ability to sight the crescent moon would pay attention to this matter and join the committees formed in the regions for this purpose, according to the agency.
