No 28 , Eid likely on Thursday # Masy a top scholar said it is almost impossible to sight the moon tonight and that Eid Al Fitr is likely to fall on Thursday. The scholars were reacting to a call by the Supreme Court in Saudi Arabia, home to Islam’s holiest shrines, to the public to sight the moon on Tuesday night. “It is not acceptable that we sight the moon on Tuesday night as today is Ramadan 28. Determining the beginning and end of the fasting month must be subject to Sharia (Islamic law),” said Sheikh Adel al Kalbani, former Imam of the Grand Mosque. “The Supreme Court statement makes me wonder whether we have fasted in line with Sharia. If the answer is yes, then the moon should not be sighted tonight.”
