Well the majority of mosques have announced Eid for tomorrow and sizeable chunk have announced for Friday, sadly the Muslim Ummah will now start slinging mud at each other claiming they are the righteous and the others are spawn of satan/usa/uk etc etc!
Eid Mubarak!! Congrats to all who fasted, Ive lost about 5kg in weight, and have eaten sensibly at iftaar time!
Absolutely. But there also mosques which will follow what the their maulvis and pir saabs tell them no matter what the truth is and will oppose the saudis purely out of spite. The saudis are far from perfect but they right the majority of time so I see no issue if people want to follow them. Like I say how is it that certain mosques announced yesterday that eid was definately on friday.
Again, I have no idea how any mosque knew it would definitely be Friday that much in advance. I don't believe there is that much truth in your statement that people simply oppose Saudi out of spite (maybe a few?) because if the moon is there to be seen and is visible, the 'maulvis' and 'pir saabs' won't really have a leg to stand on will they?
My local mosque here waited until after Maghrib, they do not blindly follow Saudi nor do they actively go against Saudi. There was no sighting of the moon here, therefore we will be fasting tomorrow. This doesn't seem to contradict the information from http://moonsighting.com/ nor does it contradict the hadith of the prophet pbuh therefore I am content in fasting another day.
In this age of technology I wonder why Saudi do not simply do a live transmission when they claim they have seen the moon. Maybe they do but I just haven't seen it?
I'll leave this here.

Eid Mubarak to you all
Since I live in Rusholme now I assume tonight's going to be pretty noisy![]()
Feel for you guys.. the lack of sex must have been harder than the lack of regular food.
Happy explosions
