[quote=Anonymous]The custom in Islam is to determine when a new month of religious significance begins by moon sighting. That is the physical sighting of the new moon. Astronomy will give you guide as to the probable date, but if reliable witnesses do not sight the new moon, the month will begin a day later. The eid following Ramadan starts at the beginning of a new month, so the moon sightings are followed closely because they determine whether you can end your fast or if you have to go another day. Eid al-Adha, on the other hand, falls on the tenth day of the month, so you would know ten days in advance when it will fall.[/quote]
