ssalamu alaikum. I had some question about celebrating eid. I celebrated last eid with with all my friend away from home, however, back home everyone was celebrating eid on a different day. this made me think. what does the Quran or the Hadith say about the viewing of moon? if someone has seen it somewhere else in the world, doesnt it mean that eid should be celebrated on the next day everywhere? what if i used Nasa's website to find the status of the moon. is that legitimate? I just want some direct answers from someone who knows about this so i can celebrate eid the right way from now on.

If a person is mainly healthy, but they have diabetes, a condition that requires you eat small amounts of healthy low-starch, sugar free foods often throughout the day, are they obligated to fast?

As always, forgive me if any of my questions seem ignorant, I know little about Islam.

tiktakfujimak,

Insha'Allaah the following links will help to answer your questions:

We should rely on sighting of the moon, not on calculations

It is permissible to use telescopes etc., but not calculations, to sight the new moon​

If countries differ with regard to when Ramadaan begins and when the day of ‘Arafah is, with whom should I fast?​

Greetings asmoore84,

I believe your question is answered by the following:

But if fasting will harm you, or it will cause you great difficulty, or you need to take medicine during the day, then it is permissible for you not to fast in that case. If you will never be able to make up the fasts in the future, then you have to feed one poor person for each day.

This is taken from the following link:

This also has a similar question:

Please feel free to ask questions, we are all here to learn and help each other!

Peace.

Wow, feed a poor person for each day? That is wonderful! Thank you so much for all of this information.
