Ask The Imam Question and Answer

784 I wanted to ask why you chose to start Ramadan on Thursday and not on Wednesday? I mean the moon was sighted in London and in Saudi Arabia and it’s only a two hour difference between the two countries.
According to the Ahle Sunnah Wal Jamaat, Rohat Hilal Committee of UK, there has been no moon sighting on Tuesday.

As for following Saudi Arabia, There is not a criterion given to us in order to follow Saudi Arabia for starting Ramadan. The source for every Islamic rule must be the Quran and the Sunnah.

Please also refer to question 20.
