Ahhh Rubbish. A lot of places were going off of the tables calculated by said astronomers who knew that the moon would not be visible friday.
How could anyone start looking on Friday? If they started counting the days from the beginning Rajab and Shaban and even by the 13 14 15 of Shaban which clearly was observed by the officials here and in Saudi they could have easily deduced friday was a pipe dream.
It is a move to shift the blame off the government officials and stupid calendars/tables created by none other than the Astronomers. The same with the sunrise/sunset tables which are astronomical sunrise/sunset not actual sunrise/sunset times. I am tired of this stupid discussion. Its the same thing every year in America. They came up with the excuse that going by the tables will stop the confusion of having the Eid on different days and unite the Muslims.
The Ulema I know made excuses for this even though they knew the day was not right. Only Allah knows their intentions for not speaking up.
