[quote=Anonymous]This has to do with the procedure for “sighting the moon” several days before Eid. It requires actual visual confirmation, not just calculation, and there is always a small degree of uncertainty since clouds and/or the brightness of the sky at the time of intended sighting can affect whether the sighting actually occurs when predicted. Eid can’t be determined with certainty until after the sighting. This is Google-able. It’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation for FCPS. If they planned ahead of time for the 6th (which there was only a small likelihood of) and it turned out to be the 7th as originally thought, people would gripe about that. [/quote]
