وقال عضو المشروع المهندس قمر الدين "On Tuesday, 16 October 2012 (29 Dhul Qa’dah 1433 AH) many people from throughout UK have attempted to sight the crescent moon (Hilal) of Dhul Hijjah after sunset. None of the groups were able to sight the Hilal, even though many places had clear sky conditions.

However, we  have received reliable sighting reports (Muhaqaq-Ruyat-Basari) from both Morocco Awqaf Ministry and Jamiat-e-Ulama, South Africa.

Therefore, the Wifaq/Batley Ulama have decided that the month of Dhul Qa’dah 1433 AH will have 29-days and the  month of Dhul Hijjah 1433 AH will start from Wednesday 17 October 2012, making Eid-ul Adha on Friday 26 October 2012, Insha-Allah. Eid Mubarak to all Muslims!
