American Islamic Association follow moon sighting guideline from Chicago Hilal (chicagohilal.org). The Chicago Hilal Committee will meet on Wednesday, August 7, 2013 (Ramadan 29, 1434) to determine the start of Shawwal 1434 (Eid-ul-Fitr). If the moon is sighted on Wednesday night within North America, the 1st of Shawwal (Eid-ul-Fitr) will be Thursday, August 8, 2013. If the moon is not sighted on Wednesday night, Ramadan will complete its course of 30 days and Shawwal will begin on Friday, August 9, 2013. The first updates on chicagohilal.org are expected to occur around 7:00 PM CDT. Updates will be made periodically after that as representatives through out North American are contacted. If the moon is not seen in the Caribbean, East Coast or the Midwest, the committee will wait to hear from the West Coast (whose sunset is around 10:00 PM CDT) before making a final decision.
