2 million + people starting their Hajj rituals a day early as they are in Saudi and follow the planning, organisation & application of Saudi time table. (Of course this is if you believe the data on the quoted website, the affiliated article, author and co)

So, If we apply the logic of this article to the performing of Hajj which is based on the 5 days of the month zul hijjah the conclusion will be………? Please advise!

Absolutely Mohammad I definitely agree with u – but I think that u might have jumped the gun a bit…
You see, I personally know of someone, who did their Eid on one day whilst his parents did it on another. However, he informed me that he only made the decision after both his parents gave him the blessing to do so. I also know that he consulted with various Ulema as well…

Salaaam.
Althought Saudi maybe wrong, which they are no doubt about! But in one Family, Parents doing Eid one day and the Son’s/daughters’s another day that is bang out of order!!! For Saudi to announce it there has to be sighting of the moon, now if the person/s giving witness are doing something wrong then they will be questioned in the hereafter!!!
In the hereafter we won’t be asked about it. But we sure will be asked about breaking/ hurting our parents!!!

Thats not very logical is it.. If the Prophet (saw) followed his parents/forefathers, surely he (saw) would have done pooja of the idols aswell.. Allah has given the Muslim ‘Aql, he does not follow the crowd, and there is no taqleed when it comes to fardh/haram matters. Stop jumping on the ‘we follow our local mosque’ bandwagon.

Just go with the flow. If your parents are celebrating Eid then join in the celebration. Remember what the Prophet(saw) said about our parents.

That’s a very astute observation!
1.6? Isn’t that a bit powerful?!

If Saudi are wrong then Iran, Jordan, Libya, Lebanon, U.A.E. must all be wrong as well. All these countries are celebrating Eid today….?!
