well, I believe he is correct but I’m simply not comfortable with the minority opinion on this issue. Although I believe he is correct on many levels, I also believe that the consensus should reflect his opinion of local sightings using what is available to us today. Until that happens, I’m sticking with my local masjid which is the sunnah recommendation. I know I know, it gets complicated again. Hadith clearly state “sight the moon” in your own locality. I can barely see the stars for the smog let alone the moon. It’s very complicated. There’s more but I’ll leave it here.
my interesting simple question is how long has global sighting been going on for? 50 years? 100 years?
the sunnah is sighting it with the eyes
well youre saying minority? maybe i the uk but not world wide just look at places like pakistan, bengladesh, south africa, morroco, which are massive countries and they dont follow saudi
i used to follow saudi but i dont follow them no more tbh
