Fasting the Day of 'Arafah and Its Connection to the Sighting of the Crescent

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does fasting the Day of 'Arafah depend on the sighting of the new moon in Saudi Arabia, or on the sighting in every country?

Answer:
It is tied to Saudi Arabia; because it is the country that oversees the Hajj activities and assists the pilgrims, so it is within its jurisdiction. Yes.
