Which moonsighting to follow

Question

Assalaam alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh

I have another question;
What is ideas of ulamaas about the following moon sighting sighted another country?
And according to malawi country,what country needed to follow when it not yet sighted ???

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Our advice is that you simply adopt one reliable local moonsighting authority who have a clear set of principles (irrespective of what they are). By doing so, the onus of all related matters is on them. Your hereafter will be saved.

In the event there are multiple bodies, stick to the one that is followed by the senior pious members of your society.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
