Relying on the sighting of the hilal of Dhu al-Hijjah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says here, and this is also a very important question: Is the hilal of Dhu al-Hijjah an issue that causes disagreement in our countries these days? Some follow the sighting of the hilal in Saudi Arabia because the Day of 'Arafah is one day, while others follow the sighting of the hilal in their own country. What is the correct position in this matter?

Answer:
The correct position in this matter is that you consider the sighting in this Kingdom, if it is the same region, because it is the one that organizes the Hajj. Yes. And it is the one that cares about the sighting in Iraq, so act according to the sighting of the Kingdom in the lands of Jeddah.
