Eid Ul Adha
Dear Ghamidi Sahib,
I am in Australia (Perth), this time, here the Muslims are devided in 3 groups to start Eid ul Adha.
Group 1 – Eid on Sunday 16 June. This group follows Saudi Arabia. Grand Mufti of Australia has announced the same.
Group 2 – Eid on Monday 17 June. This group follows calculation method to ascertain that the new moon was on the horizon after sunset. The moon was on the horizon on 7 June for about 20 minutes. Although the moon was not sighted due to short time span.
Group 3 – Eid on Tuesday, 18 June. This group sight the moon otherwise complete 30 days.
Please guide me, I am confused between group 1 and 2, which one to follow to celebrate eid as per Islamic principles.
More, can you please guide, when does an Islamic month start at particular place/country? Does it starts if the new moon is on the horizon after sunset anywhere in the globe or in that particular place/country?
Yesterday, I called your centre and spoke with a lady and have sent an online query as well.
