Dua to recite when looking at the moon

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is there any Sunnnah dua to be recited on sighting the full moon (i.e. on the fourteenth night of the month)?

Bismillaah

A: The following is the du`aa when looking at the moon: أَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّ هذَا الْغَاسِق

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

إذا نظر إلى القمر فليقل أعوذ بالله من شر هذا الغاسق (الحصن الحصين ص161)

عن عائشة رضي الله عنها أن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم نظر إلى القمر فقال يا عائشة استعيذي بالله من شر هذا فإن هذا الغاسق إذا وقب قال أبو عيسى هذا حديث حسن صحيح (ترمذي رقم 3366)
