Moon sighting
Every year we face a problem while celebrating Eid and other Muslim festivals. Majority of us follow the guidance issued from the government appointed committee but a small number of people also follow Saudi Arabia. Not only this section of people, but also some neighbouring countries of the KSA follow it, regardless of the moon being sighted or not in their own countries. Obviously, the Islamic world is divided regarding this issue. There is a Hadith to observe these festivals after sighting the moon.
I think the Islamic scholars from all over the world should come forward to discuss and settle the issue.
