Disclaimer

This Disclaimer governs your use of ChandKiTarikh.in and outlines important limitations regarding our Hijri calendar information services.

Religious Information Disclaimer

Non-Authoritative Nature

ChandKiTarikh.in provides Islamic calendar information, moon sighting data, and prayer times for educational and convenience purposes only. We are not a religious authority and do not claim to make definitive determinations regarding:

  • The beginning or end of Islamic months
  • The timing of religious observances such as Ramadan or Eid
  • The acceptability of moon sighting testimonies
  • Rulings on religious matters

Our calendar information should be used as a reference tool alongside guidance from qualified Islamic scholars and your local mosque or religious community.

Methodological Variations

We acknowledge the legitimate diversity of opinion within the Islamic scholarly tradition regarding calendar determination methods. Different approaches include:

  • Direct physical sighting of the crescent moon
  • Calculation-based methods using astronomical data
  • Various combinations of calculation and sighting
  • Following decisions of specific countries or authorities

Our presentation of a particular date does not constitute an endorsement of any single methodology over others. Users should follow the guidance of their preferred religious authorities.

Accuracy of Information

Best Efforts

While we strive to provide accurate Hijri dates and prayer times based on established astronomical calculations and verified moon sighting reports, we cannot guarantee absolute accuracy due to:

  • Natural variations in moon visibility across different locations
  • Atmospheric conditions affecting crescent observation
  • Technical limitations in astronomical predictions
  • Differences in scholarly criteria for accepting moon sighting testimonies
  • Potential errors in data transmission or calculation

User Verification

We strongly recommend that users verify critical religious dates (particularly the beginning and end of Ramadan, and Eid celebrations) with local mosques or Islamic centers. Our information should complement, not replace, local religious guidance.
