Question:
The questioner says: In Senegal, every year there is a disagreement regarding the end of Ramadan and exiting it. Some people fast with Saudi Arabia, while others fast with whichever country the crescent moon appears in. The state does not care about the etiquette of religious matters and does not organize affairs. What is your advice?
Answer:
Generally, Muslims and minorities in other countries have Islamic centers that handle their affairs, establish the months, settle disputes among them, and issue rulings for them. So, you should be with the reputable Islamic center in your country and leave those who are scattered and disagreeing. Yes, the Islamic center is in the position of the Islamic state; the Islamic center is at the level of the Islamic state. And you are among its subjects and followers. Yes.
