Eid al-Fitr Announcement

Division Occurs Again in South Florida

The Islamic Society of North America and the Fiqh Council of North America announced that Eid al-Fitr would be on Saturday, October 13, 2007. The horizon of South Florida was clear on the night of October 11, and there were no moon sighting reports by anyone in the community as far as Madinah Foundation is aware.

Moon sighting experts, such as Khalid Shaukat of Moonsighting.com, said it would be impossible to sight the moon almost anywhere in the world on Thursday night, thus making Saturday, October 13, the first day of Shawwal.

Despite such scientific fact, Saudi Arabia once again announced the day of Eid in contradiction of all astronomical evidence. North America, and South Florida also, was thrown into chaos once again. Despite Saudi's announcement, the majority of masajid in South Florida will be celebrating Eid al-Fitr on Saturday, October 13.
