[quote=Anonymous]Eid/new month and generally the lunar calendar are supposed to be determined by the sighting of the moon. Some people take that literally, and want to wait until a community member has actually done the sighting. Others (the majority, I think) accept using scientific calculations to determine when the moon would be sightable. Regardless, it's a local thing. The problem with Eid-al-Adha is that it is comes after the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, and therefore tied with the sightings of the moon there.[/quote]
