*-* Ramzan-ul-mubarak in ENGLAND *-*

Rite today in England, the central regent mosque, london confirmed the sighting of the new moon and so did many parts of England but in Newcastle there is some confusion like every year. There r 3 mosques in Newcastle + 1 in Gateshead and elswick mosque are keeping rooza on Saturday as according to them “the moon hasn’t been sighted” but a Bengali mosque said they will keep their 1st rooza as of today {Friday}. The mosque in Gateshead is also going to fast on Saturday???

With all this confusion I would like to ask, shariat kai mutabik what is the ruling in regards to different mosques in 1 single country deciding to NOT fast on the same day to plz a few committee members and what have you. Should one go with the overwhelming majority or stick with their local mosque’s decision!

well i'm in new york, and from almost everyone i'm hearing is that it begins on the 15th, whereas our local mosque says it begins on the 16th.

Now forgive my ignorance, but if i fast a day early am i really so in the wrong?

You think thats bad, here in glasgow, Scotland our imams jus could not seem to decide and confirmed it like 2.30 in da moring!Whether to keep the roza on fri or sat, so eventually were keeping it today while sum ppl havent coz they never knew.....

pakistanis will be pakistanis’ :rolleyes: personally i feel we should’ve kept our 1st rooza on friday instead of saturday down here in the north-east of england. the muslim council of britain confirmed the moon sighting then where is the prob’?
