If someone spots it, whether it's through binoculars or through the naked eye, the Supreme Court asks that they report it to the local court so they may record their testimony, or they can call the nearest center, which will help them go to the court.
Because it requires cooperation in righteousness and piety and benefits all Muslims, the Supreme Court is hoping that individuals who are able to show their interest in this topic will join the regional committees established for this purpose and seek reward and compensation for participating.
