Do not rely upon scientific computations and calculations to determine the sighting of the moon. Sighting the moon is a part of ibadah. Today is dhul hijjah 9 in calicut/Kerala. It is called as youm-al-Arafah ( Day of Arafah) in Arabic. Just as whether jumuah is held on a Friday or not, it is still known as Youm-al-Jumuah, The same goes here, whether or not , people fast today, it is still youm-Al-Arafah. We do not look at Saudi for determining the month of Ramadan or eidulfitr. Why look at this specific situation and create a worldwide confusion? Each country has to rely on its sighting just as Ibn Abbas r.a. relied on his disregarding Kuraybs r.a verdict on Muawiyyah r.a. seeing the moon on a previous night because it was at a different place. I do not wish to debate regarding the sunnah. The claim is simple - As long as we dont rely on Saudi or GCC for sighting the moon all the 11 months, we shouldnt on this last month as well.
