Imam Khomeini’s Viewpoint on Different Ideas on Seeing the Crescent Moon of Dhuʻl-Hijjah in the Hajj Season

Different ideas on the crescent moon of Dhuʻl-Hijjah is one of the most important and influential issues regarding Hajj and this question is always raised that what the obligatory ruling and status of waqf in Arafat with the Sunnis and other rituals are. According to Imam Khomeini, under the conditions of taqiyyah, performing Hajj rituals with the Sunnis is obligatory and the performed rituals are accepted, whether being doubtful in the proof of the crescent or certain. Rather, not accompanying the Sunnis and the validity of waqf on the day of Arafat is a source of the problem. This study tries to explain Imam Khomeini’s point of view on this issue and the relevant documents.
