Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In our place in Albania, the day of the festival fell on the Day of 'Arafah; because the shaykhs here follow the calendar, and the government asks them for the days of the festival at the beginning of the year so that it can determine the holiday. He says: What is obligatory for us? Do we pray and slaughter the sacrificial animal on the Day of 'Arafah with the people, or do we wait until the day after?
Answer:
According to what your scholars see, if your scholars have issued a ruling for you with this, then it is according to their opinion. Yes.
