When to Fast `Arafah and Celebrate `Eid in North America
As-Salamu `alaykum. The announcement by Saudi Arabia that Thursday will be the first day of `Eid Al-Adha put many Muslims, especially in the West, in a real dilemma because the Saudi authorities themselves had declared before that Friday will be the first day of the `Eid. I wonder, when can Muslims in this part of the world celebrate the `Eid and fast on the Day of `Arafah, especially after ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) declared that Friday is the first day of the `Eid based on its own sighting in North America. Could you please solve this dilemma?
