Question:
He says: In our country, they say that they fast with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and pray with them, even if they differ from them and they go out [to see the moon] with them, and they fast with them. They say that this is the Sunnah, with all due respect.
Answer:
No, the correct view is that the observers differ; the observers of the crescent moon differ, and every region acts according to its own sighting. Every region acts according to its own sighting. And if they do not see it, they act according to the sighting of the nearest region to them. Yes.
